Lightning Round #16: Aye-Aye-Aye’ll Be Home for Christmas (‘Alpha’s Magical Christmas,’ MMPR Season 2)
Merry Christmas, Listeners with Attitude! In true Power Rangers fashion, The Power Trip’s first season “ends” with a holiday special! Nathan and Michael harken back to Mighty Morphin’ season two to discuss a VHS episode that originally went out to members of the Power Rangers Fan Club: “Alpha’s Magical Christmas.” Oh boy, this (thankfully) non-canonical special is so saccharine, it’s guaranteed to give you diabetes. And it’s nothing like the show. What’s funny is your intrepid hosts discovered there is a literary/audio adaptation that’s way better—and they wished they’d discussed that instead. Have fun singing along with Alpha and dozens of “kidnapped” children with Stockholm syndrome!
