Episodes
Nate (“The TsuBro”) and Chris (“Sentai Guy”) are hanging out trying to find Jake (“The Metal Don”) to get started on recording Kamen Rider Faiz. Suddenly, Jake comes running up to them with briefcases in hand he says he was given by an employee of Smart Brain before she died….

Hello, Henshin Heroes! Since there are five Wednesdays in January, and we want to give you something to tide you over while Chris edits the next few episodes, here’s the audio from our Christmas livestream that aired December 21, 2024, on the HPV3 YouTube channel. Enjoy!
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Join Nate (The TsuBro), Chris (Sentai Guy), and Jake (The Metal Don) as they celebrate Christmas the Japanese way: with KFC, gifts, and holid...
All right, Henshin Heroes! For your bingeing pleasure (or disdain for us eating up your cellular data and device storage), here’s “Ultracut #2” with all 12 hours(!) of us discussing Ultraman (1966)! I guess Nathan (The TsuBro) keeping all that exuberance for this franchise bottled up for four years of podcasting just spilled all over the show and broke our format. Enjoy!

Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) weren’t prepared for a double-whammy of Akio Jissouji in their last batch of Ultraman (1966) episodes—and Nathan’s seen them before! It doesn’t help that they recorded way past the witching hour. Rockets up the anus?! On episode 34?! All of this broke the show’s format worse than any other before it. That’s the power of Jissouji! Regardless, it’s a bittersweet ...
The tables have turned—Nathan is interviewed on his own podcast! Why? Because he “Mel Gibson’d” (wrote, directed, edited, produced, and starred in) a one-shot origin episode for Scyther Podcasts’ Power Rangers: The Audiodrama titled “Origins: Rito Bandora.” Nathan explains how he got the role of Rito Bandora (or Rito Revolto, depending on who you talk to) and how this special episode came about. Also, the Snarky Bonehead himself hi...
Nate (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) get into some controversial topics that will definitely get them letters! Their coverage of Ultraman (1966) brings them to a point where the show has found its stride…for the most part. Episodes 20-29 feature “My Home is Earth,” which may be the best episode of the show, and the series’ one-and-only two-parter with “The Monster Highness”—which Chris says fumbles ...
A lot happens in this batch of episodes. As the title implies, we get a crossover between Godzilla and Ultraman…sorta…not really. Several iconic and incredibly weird Ultra Kaiju appear, including Pestar (who’s literally two suit actors holding hands), Gavadon (who’s a pillow waiting to happen), the return of the Baltans (so the genocide debate is moot), and more! Also, Nate (“The TsuBro”) introduces Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“...
In this updated version of Nate’s crash course in henshin heroes, which was recorded at RamenCon 2024 in South Bend, Indiana, you’ll once again learn the basics of what makes a transforming superhero. Only this time Nate actually discusses the current series airing in Japan at the moment. He also fields some new questions from the audience. Enjoy!

“Here he comes from the sky!” Much to Nate’s (“The TsuBro’s”) delight, HPV3’s starts its coverage of Ultraman (1966)! And Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“The Metal Don”) have no complaints—except about Arashi being an idiot! This truly classic henshin kyodai hero series premiered as a live stage show that was lost media for a years. In this first batch of episodes, we see Shinichi Sekizawa, of Godzilla fame, co-write the origin sto...
Chris (“Sentai Guy”) and Jake (“The Metal Don”) were hoping to get started on recording for Ultraman (1966), but Nathan (“The TsuBro”) was nowhere to be found, but never fear—the Ultrabro is here?! (What the henshin?!)
Our Ultraman (1966) coverage begins October 16, 2024!

To quote Batman, “You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts!” Here’s an ultracut of all six of our episodes covering all 52 episodes of Kamen Rider V3! I don’t know why you’d want to spend that much time with Nathan The TsuBro, Chris The Sentai Guy, and Jake The Metal Don, but here you go. It’s almost as long a binge as those Discotek blu-rays of the series that I’m sure you preordered. Right? 😉 Anyway, let’s hope this doesn’t break PodB...
Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Jake (“The Metal Don”), and Chris (“Sentai Guy”) finish the first chapter of their new tokusatsu journey with the final episodes of Kamen Rider V3! Such a seminal time requires a visit from a certain skull-faced supervillain—but not the one you’re thinking. (Was it Rito all along?) After he gives the boys some often awkward facts, they dive deep into the story of Riderman, who lives up to the hype. Then your ...
The people who worked on Kamen Rider V3 need help. As in therapy. Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) have concluded that. But this comes on the heels of Nathan singing “The Amazing Riderman” to start the episode, so he doesn’t have much room to talk. Speaking of Riderman, he shows up to kick off the series’ final story arc—and he might be the best character on the show! But if you thought the ps...
Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“The Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) overcome the odds when life, uh, finds ways to keep them from recording—which leads to some of the most effed up stuff they’ve seen in Kamen Rider V3. Specifically, an occult sacrifice scene that’s arguably pornographic…for the kids! Your hosts have questions like, why does Doktor G have a scorpion motif when his kaijin form is a crab? Destron’s insignia is...
Say, “Hello”…to the latest episode of Henshin Power V3! Your hosts Nathan “The TsuBro” Marchand, Jake “The Metal Don” Hambrick, and especially Christopher “Sentai Guy” Riner fight the good fight against Streamyard, and after winning, they dive into their next batch of episodes for Kamen Rider V3. Sadly, this batch is held back by unfortunate shaky cam that makes the Bourne films look stable. But it also has some of the most insane ...
Nathan (“The TsuBro”), Chris (“Sentai Guy”), and Jake (“The Metal Don”) continue their journey through Kamen Rider V3 with the series’ introduction of a new commandant: Doktor Gay, er, G. Because poor literacy and English letters are scary…I guess. While the show continues to impress with its special effects and action, the characters are starting to make stupid decisions, which prompts our first “Rantmaster.” Also, Doktor G needs ...
To tide you over until next week’s new episode, we’re giving you this fun little “fifth Wednesday” bonus episode! In June 2023, Nathan attended a convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan, called JAFAX (Japanese Animation Film and Art eXpo), where he gave several panel presentations, including this crash course in transforming superheroes. If you’d like to see the full video version of the panel, you can view it on the Kaiju Ramen YouTu...
Listeners! Lend us your…henshin power! The boys launch their Kamen Rider V3 coverage with the first nine episodes of the series (aka: disc one of the Generation Kikaida DVD set). This covers the new hero’s origins and early battles against kaijin like Scissors-Jaguar and Machine Gun Snake, who are created by Shocker’s latest rebrand, Destro, er, Destron. Nate (“The TsuBro”) shares some research on the background of the series befor...
Listeners! Lend us your…henshin power! Nathan Marchand (aka “The TsuBro”) returns to tokusatsu TV podcasting in this fused sequel to Henshin Men and The Power Trip. He’s joined by his friends Christopher Riner (aka “Sentai Guy”) and Jake Hambrick (aka “The Metal Don”) for this journey. In this episode, they introduce themselves, how they got into tokusatsu, and why they wanted to podcast about it. Then they outline the show’s forma...
