Rider Love - A Kamen Rider Podcast

To ink, or not to ink, that is the question! This week, we explore the world of Japanese high school Shakespeare productions in Gotchard 30 & 31. We follow that up with episode 32 which brings the mysterious and sexy “Hundred” to the main series, and teases Legend’s return! (Dan was having some microphone issues, which we didn’t catch, but will be resolved next podcast.)   0:49 - Intro 7:25 - News 19:28 - Gotchard 30 42:05 - Gotchard 31 51:22 - Gotchard 32   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com

This week in Kamen Rider Geats episodes 27, 28, & 29, we unpack Ace’s big secret that was dropped on us last time, and Ziin learns what it means to be a real boy. Also, Happy Birthday to Neon!

There’s a golden boy on the horizon! The Kamen Rider Legend rumors were true… sort of… but we’ll meet him soon enough.
