Austin St. John is back in the headlines and again it's for all the wrong reasons. In a February podcast interview (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/austin-st-john-red-power-ranger--58821185) with Jim Cummings, he said he planned a clothing line featuring quotes from leaders both famous and infamous, saying the German mustache guy "was a demon on steroids but he had some pretty good one-liners." This week, Power Rangers fans took notice of the comments and the former Red Ranger has faced backlash from nearly all corners. Tyler and Mike Manos offer their takes on what he said, and how fans and fan events should respond.
