Panelists: Tyler, Ryland, Chris, Hayden

A new JF promo hits, with actual new footage! Le gasp! We still don't like it.

Anime Central has added another PR guest. The voice of Lord Zedd and Finster, and one-time Rangercast guest Robert Axelrod will be appearing. I love it when a plan comes together.

We got a lengthy email from Phazon Ranger over at Rangertalk that starts us off on a discussion of the history and dynamics of the PR fandom and why Rangerboard is *the place* for PR fandom. Chris has done his research.

And Tyler recorded this with a box on his head (hence the pic). Why? Tune in to find out!

OP: Let's Rock 'n' Roll (TAPRM soundtrack)
ED: Not telling you. Somebody references it in the episode, so I went hunting for it. It's part of an old fandom in-joke. If you know, you know. If you don't, there's no hope for you.

Big show, little topics. Let's do this.

Tonight's panel: Tyler, Chris, Hayden, Impy

-New JF promos? Irrelevant. Titles? Still pun-worthy.

-Anime Central just announced a round of PR guests. RC is very much there. And while we're at it, Tyler gives the tentative list for the 2008 con tour.

-An RB poster recently asked why she was getting emails from (she presumed) Tyler since the emails mentioned "Rangercast." Tyler explains what's up with those emails, and why they aren't coming from him.

-Our very own Mike Dent has been credited by at least one person with killing Newtype USA. Go Mike.

-Tyler went to New York City for a Rangerboard meetup. Oh the good times that were had. Tyler has some audio clips, and reminders why bowling with a Wiimote is in no way representative of the real thing. Pics? Done.

Lovin' that offseason.

OP: PRTF instrumental
ED: Oh, that's a secret.

That pic there? CoN on a getaway plastic Harley.

So the first actual, honest-to-God episode title for Jungle Fury is out. Yes, four words. But instead of a whole episode of a) judging books by their covers or b) unleashing Tyler's terrible title puns--though certainly both happen--we decide to go into a lengthy discussion of what makes a good season premiere. With some fun side stories along the way.

Panelists: Tyler (RitoRevolto), Chris Funaro (CmdrCrayfish), Chris Hayden (cyberblue), Aaron (Shyranger)

Then after that, Tyler sits down for an interview with August Ragone, a longtime member of the tokusatsu fandom and the author of the new book Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters, available now from Chronicle Press. He chats with us about what went into making the book and what toku fandom was like in its infancy. He has so many stories to share, so check it out. Be sure to pick up his book here, and check out reviews here and here. Congrats August! And remember guys, support R1 Toku releases. It's how we get stuff done.

In Rangerboard Masterpiece Theatre, TT Tyler has a deep question about the soul.
