Rider Love - A Kamen Rider Podcast

Our excitement for Build continues to uh… build… as Dan & Faiz discover the initial creative staff behind the series as well as a few follow-up toy catalog scans. Ex-Aid 39 takes a cruel turn as we say goodbye(?) to the floofiest Bugster to ever grace this Earth. And can you believe it?! We’re returning to our roots with Kamen Rider 555 episode 11! It’s been more than a full year, but it feels good to be home. Plus there’s an adorable dog! Suit actor Seiji Takaiwa is the topic of Listener Feedback, as we find out your feelings on his extended tenure.

Kamen Rider Build is revealed! This is bound to be our favorite podcast every year. There’s just so much to speculate about! That’s probably why we spend well more than half of the episode talking about it. Forms, suits, weapons, story details. They just dumped so much on us at once! But in ADDITION to all that, Ex-Aid continues, as we make our way through episodes 37 & 38. There’s redemption, tears, possible new friendships blooming. Then it’s back to more Build talk in Feedback. You’re just as excited as we are. If you know what an aglet is, do a dance!   0:47 – Opening 3:33 – Happy Birthday Faiz! 5:59 – News 10:08 – Spoiler Train!

It’s finally here! Our discussion of the 2016 movie, ‘Kamen Rider Ichigo’! Dan & Faiz have plenty of love to share as our pals, the Ghost crew, team up with the O.G. Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo! They’ll battle the forces of Shocker, and we’ll discover a whole array of comical new kinks we didn’t know we had. There’s news too! Rider has a new time slot, and what could that possibly mean? Plus, we go over a few last minute rumor morsels before Build is officially revealed, as well as that recently announced manga sequel to W. And we get FAR too excited about a mailman’s birthday.

It’s Hayato Isomura Week as we celebrate his birthday and CONTINUE to rejoice in Kiriya’s return to Ex-Aid! There are scans for Ex-Aid, teasers (and rumors) for Build, and a sequel to W?! Hopefully we’ll know more on that next week. Ex-Aid 36 debuts a beautiful golden-boy final form as we question Kiriya’s TRUE motives. And we FINALLY close out a series proper with Ghost 50 and the mysterious emo child. Then we climb a mountain of feedback about your favorite Kamen Rider final forms!   1:11 – Opening 12:47 – Birthdays 18:36 – News 25:58 – Spoiler Train! 37:21 – Ex-Aid 36 1:11:29 - Ghost 50 1:47:00 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Dan & Faiz go through a range of emotions this week, as we finally wrap up the main arc of Ghost with episodes 47, 48, & 49! We do some more contemplation about crooked teeth, love up on our Monsta X dudes, and as it’s been a slow news week, we go through some Kamen Rider video game mods! We’ll also find out what age YOU think is ideal for a KR protagonist. All that, plus talk about soup and pizza. Everyone’s doing their best!   0:54 – Opening 11:01 – Birthdays 15:38 – News 28:48 – Spoiler Train! 32:01 – Ghost 47, 48, & 49 2:19:10 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Rumor Season continues! Faiz and Dan have learned a few more (POSSIBLE) tidbits about the next series, Kamen Rider Build, as well as some more glimpses of the Summer Ex-Aid movie. You knew we’d be excited about the return of our dear departed bike in Ex-Aid 35, and we’re so so very close to finishing up Ghost with 45 & 46! Before all that, talk a little about about Faiz’s E3-obsessed week, as well as Dan’s recent viewing of the Heisei Generations movie, and (far too briefly) Graphite’s bod! And in Listener Feedback, we’ll discover what other shows YOU would use to describe your favorite Kamen Rider series!   1:01 - Opening 15:25 – Birthdays 19:36 – News 24:20 – Spoilery News 40:46 – Ex-Aid 35 1:27:16 – Ghost 45 & 46 2:12:13 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

It’s our favorite time of the year here at Rider Love, next series rumor time! Dan & Faiz have probably our biggest Spoiler Section yet, as we have all the “Build” rumors to speculate about, in addition to MORE Ex-Aid scans and summer movie info. Ex-Aid 33 & 34 are full of tears and betrayal, but there’s a hint of a beautiful yellow boy at the end! To round things off, we’ll discuss our listeners’ favorite Showa Riders. All that and a WHOLE lot of giggling, on this week’s episode! 10:02 – Birthdays 13:25 – News 16:25 – Spoilery News 43:20 – Ex-Aid 33 1:22:42 - Ex-Aid 34 1:47:10 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Rider Love welcomes its first international guest! Dan is joined by Alan (no, not the takoyaki prince, but rather Kamen Rider (G)Lover). It’s a light news week this week, mainly toys, which means we’ll get sidetracked a bit by Doctor Who and other geekery. But we’re very excited to dive into the latest two episodes of Ex-Aid (31 & 32) in which we learn the means by which our buddy “Nuevo Kuroto” has returned to us. We also welcome the return of another member of the Dan family and get lots of crackly Mountain Dew energy goodness! Rounding things out, we discuss your thoughts on foreign actors in Kamen Rider.

Dan & Faiz brave thunder and an oncoming tornado (okay that might be overdramatizing it a BIT) to bring you another podcast! This week we witness the “Final Battle” between Emu and M in Ex-Aid 30, as well as welcoming back our favorite tight-pantsed psychopath! In Ghost 43 & 44, as we near the end, Onari begins to question his usefulness to the team, which makes for some VERY over-the-top and entertaining moments. Finally, in Feedback, we’ll discover what historical figures you would choose for your own personal Eyecon collection. 0:00 – Opening 9:19 – Birthdays 13:36 – News 18:02 – Spoilery News 22:57 – Ex-Aid 30 1:00:21 – Ghost 43 1:28:22 – Ghost 44 1:51:27 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Dan & Faiz celebrate 1 YEAR of podcasting the only way we know how… drooling over shirtless men and thinking about how hungry we are! We try to work out the logistics of the recent “M” revelation in Ex-Aid 29, and watch as our friends in Ghost 41 & 42 have a Gramps-shaped revelation of their own. Wrapping things up, it’s all about music in Listener Feedback. Thank you, Rider Lovers, for an awesome first year, and here’s to many more years of silliness!

You know the drill by now. When Faiz and I haven’t talked for a while, things can get a little crazy. This week, it’s all about Taiga’s palm on Emu’s firm tush! But no, there’s lots of other stuff to talk about. There’s the fall of Nyaa, the first hints of the summer Ex-Aid movie, and some sparkling, delicious new Mountain Dew flavored scans! In Ep Discussion, it’s all about Ghost this week (39 & 40), and we have some opinions on Dark Necrom P. Plus there’s some awkward body-swapping and movie tie-ins. Feedback is quite girthy because everyone loves talking about hopes and possibilities for the next series.

Dan is joined by Amber2 (DestinyAmber) to discuss her recent convention fun and lots of other Kamen Rider happenings. There’s actor news, new toy announcements, and as usual, another round of Ex-Aid scans to drool over. In episode discussion, Nico finally gets her moment to shine (Ex-Aid 27), and Poppy has a pretty rough day (Ex-Aid 28). Plus there’s a pretty intriguing cliffhanger which we can’t WAIT to see resolved. Then to round things out, we’ll go through your cosplay aspirations and just have a general good old time! 0:00 – Opening 12:46 – Birthdays 20:22 – News 31:57 – Spoilery News 40:22 – Ex-Aid 27 1:13:00 – Ex-Aid 28 1:43:53 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.RiderLovePodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: RiderLovePodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Don’t worry! Dan & Faiz are back to talk Kamen Rider. No more Masked Rider… at least for a year. It’s time for the Spring KR/Sentai crossover with Ex-Aid 24. The cross-over wasn’t much, but it also brings an end to the first half of Ex-Aid, and we love every minute of it (especially Ren!). In Ghost 38, we celebrate Takeru’s many dads and the resurgence of the best Ghost ship. There’s an April Fools roundup in news, along with even more Ex-Aid scans. And finally, we have a mammoth feedback section talking all about YOUR fantasy Kamen Sentai GoRider teams.

It’s just a normal week here at Rider Love, with Dan & Fact doing what they always do, discussing the 90’s Fox Kids series, Saban’s Masked Rider!

Dan & Faiz bid farewell to Dan “The Man” Kuroto in Ex-Aid 23, and while we disagree about a few things in the episode, we can all agree Big Boy is Beautiful™. Speaking of Beautiful (Monsta X *cough cough*) it’s idol week here on Rider Love, and that means Akari’s joining a Jpop group in Ghost 36 & 37! We also get your feedback on Ex-Aid, taste some possible yummy sushi-man rider, and much more! 0:00 – Opening 6:56 - Birthdays 12:05 - News 18:49 – Spoilery News 25:09 – Ex-Aid 23 1:04:44 - Ghost 36 1:31:37 - Ghost 37 1:48:02 – Listener Feedback   Website: www.riderlovepodcast.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/RiderLOVEcast Email: riderlovepodcast@gmail.com   Theme song provided by Eric Skiff through Creative Commons License.

Dan has been keeping a secret from Faiz for WEEKS and can finally let it out!
