Emily's here this week! We discuss Zeztz having us finally start looking at what's going on with Nem as we meet her not-father, Gozyuger wrapping up Rei's villain arc, and Fuuto PI's retelling of the Kamen Rider Skull story, expanding the lore, filling in the gaps, and telling an enthralling tale to boot.

Continuing Castranger In October, this week our feature topic is an episode of Garo that pays homage to horror movies as a genre. But first, Zeztz has some awesome sky battles and a disappointing twist, and Gozyuger gives the power of Goro and Grievous to a food delivery driver.

In this week's news we take our first look at Kamen Rider Zeztz, his Driver, and first four forms, and what's this? His belt's on his torso? We discuss Hanto over coming his brainwashing in Gavv, the gyaru disaster in Gozyuger, and then another diamond-in-the-rough obscure toku gem of a movie, the clearly RoboCop-derivative Lady Battle Cop.
