WBM Podcast aka Witty Banter Media
The Three Best Bros anybody could have (feat. Oski, xFer, & Merc) sit down and go into all sorts of topics while also diverging into wild content. Anime! Pop culture, video games, movies, books, science fiction and actual science. Nothing is safe from the Witty Banter Media treatment. Every episode tends to take an unexpected left turn, so listener discretion advised. However, follow along and you will see they always bring it back full circle. Do not take the WBM Podcast team too seriously because they will never be above a witty joke!

Speaker 3Let me go first on this rapid fire. Speaking of Comicpalooza, I decided to binge over Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 2I wonder if you know, was it Memorial Day weekend that just passed?
Speaker 3Yes, weekend I bench uh resting an alien. Oh, I know, what is it?
Speaker 3tell me you know it was actually it's got this dry humor kind of okay. This is like where it's like, uh, I mean it's funny, like it's actually my kind of humor to where, like it's just random, like I don't know where some of the characters be saying some like out-of-pocket shit. That doesn't make sense and I think it's hilarious. Okay, the premise is basically these alien crash lands in the small town, colorado, in the small town of Patience, colorado, in deep in the mountains. You know small town America. He tries to blend in with the town and there's a murder mystery and a bunch of other stuff. Alan Tudyk is the main character. He voices a lot of characters everywhere. I know him from a little old series called Firefly. For all my brown codes out there, yes, where you got Brand codes, if you haven't watched Firefly you don't know what it is, but my Firefly people will know. Okay, in that series he has one of the most quotable lines I'm a leaf in the wind. Watch how I float, because he's the pilot of the ship. Okay, sorry.
Speaker 1I guess you have to watch it. You have to watch it. You really have to watch it.
Speaker 3You have to watch it. Go back and watch the classic Firefly and then the sequel movie, serenity. But Resident Alien is actually really good and after watching it I'm excited to see the cast, because the whole cast is coming to come. Four, four people from the main cast.
Speaker 2Yeah, like from the main cast. Yeah, like four people from the main cast.
Speaker 3It's like Alan Tudyk, the main alien, and then the main girl that's like becomes best friends with the alien, and then the other sidekick girl well, not sidekick, but you know what I mean the sheriff. The sheriff is the. The sheriff. He's black and he comes in the anytime a new character gets introduced, he's like hey, damn, okay, that tells you the kind of humor that the show has interesting.
Speaker 1Uh, how many seasons just?
Speaker 3one. Oh, it's three seasons, it's three. I didn't know it was like it had that long of a running oh damn episodes like, the first season is like eight and then the second is like 16. I think the third is also 16, okay, and season four is about to premiere, next week.
Speaker 1Oh, so it's still going. It's still going. Oh, I had no idea. I thought it was over already.
Speaker 3It's like three seasons strong and about to premiere at 4.1. Oh wow. That's pretty dope, it's wild Good on them. Yeah, because it's one of those shows where I'm like Resident Alien, resident Alien, I don't think I've heard it.
Speaker 1And then I little trailer and I'm like oh, I know this, uh, you know yeah I did see trailers for it, but again I'm like oh, it's one of those things we're like am I gonna watch that yeah, I just didn't pick it up, but because comic palooza is coming up.
Speaker 3I picked it up, it was a super quick. You know, it was a quick watch for me and it has this thing. Okay, here's. Here's one thing. I'm gonna transition to another topic rapid fire. Sorry, take the first two.
Speaker 3You know how those old school shows like have writers approach them. Yeah, it has that thing where, like a few episodes in, they don't really know what to do with this character, so they kind of throw away that plot line or they maybe this character got really popular and they're like maybe we could do something else with this plot line. You know how you could tell that shows kind of had that thing. Yeah, you know, especially the shows that were in TV where you had 24 episodes, so you had a whole season and the shows in production was airing, so the writers get to see the reaction of the crowd.
TV Show Production Discussion
Speaker 3It's like, oh, people really hate this character. We should kill them off. Yeah, as an example, even though they had a plan for it and you could tell they had a plan. But as an example, it's like, oh, everybody hates this character. Everybody hates uh, I'm gonna use arrow because I went on forever but everybody hated black canary, so they killed her off, but then they killed her off and it was like, well, she was a really good actress, let's try to bring her back.
Speaker 3And she came back as white canary oh, that's right, that's right, that's right. I do remember that, yeah but you can tell a lot of is too. Uh, with the netflix era, with the fact that shows get written for like a full season, like a full eight episodes, before it even goes into like production and it gets dropped as a whole, I think you lose some of that.
Speaker 3Um, um momentum that production writing like that mid-production writing where, like they could change course, streaming shows are kind of locked into the story no matter what happens. Yeah, if people hate the character well, it's too late.
Speaker 1Yeah, they'll have to see the show yeah. That's true Versus coming out week by week, like for me. A good example of that is the Green Ranger and Power Rangers. Remember he supposed to be on for that?
Speaker 3He was only supposed to be on for five episodes.
Speaker 1That's it. Oh, for real. Yeah, his original run.
Speaker 3He was supposed to be a one and done villain.
Speaker 1Yes, well, I mean one and five.
Speaker 3One and five, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah but he was supposed to be a one and done. Villain of the week.
Speaker 1He was the villain of the week. Yeah, children between the age of like five and 11 were all tuned in at like at primetime tv the fact that he fucking stopped a mud hole and all the rangers for no reason other than just to be like y'all wanted the smoke. I'm here he was.
Speaker 3He was a big league hater bro he was a one hater he was.
Speaker 1I hate the way that you talk, I way that you walk the way that you talk.
Speaker 3He was Kendrick-level hating bro.
Speaker 1Dead ass.
Speaker 3Absolutely.
Speaker 1But yeah that's right.
Speaker 3They only kept him as the wide ranger because he was so popular.
Speaker 2He was so beloved. It's so typical that, just like a game, once he joins your party he's nerfed like a motherfucker. Yeah.
Speaker 1Oh, what happened to this epic badass? Yeah bro, he's in your party. You got to nerf him. Yeah bro, sorry, we took away all of his skills. You know all the shit that you really loved about him.
Power Rangers Nostalgia Deep Dive
Speaker 3Yeah, we're going to let him get his ass whooped now. Yeah, yeah, but that was a really good example, but the White Rangers was still epic, though you know what I'm saying. Yeah, but J-D-R.
Speaker 1No, jason J-D-F. Jason, david Frank, yeah, j-d-f. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and we apologize.
Speaker 3Let me make sure I got it right, because RIP, yeah, rip.
Speaker 1No, absolutely. I mean, that guy was an icon. He made the circuit rounds and stuff like that.
Speaker 2I saw the HBO behind the scenes of the Power.
Speaker 3Rangers. Frank, I did get it right, so jdf. Um, I haven't watched the uh documentary. It's really good. Not only you. One of my co-workers said the same thing that it was.
Speaker 1That episode is like a must watch it's a must watch for me personally because, when I saw that I was like I gotta see what's going on, what happened. It does give you backstory. That's kind of sad, but it it does put in your mind something of how that power rangers quote-unquote curse kind of takes effect where it's like you are like one of the biggest stars into children. You know you're a hero, bro, for a season, maybe two if you're lucky.
Speaker 1But they said after the original, like run of rangers, whoever wanted to stay on? Because they fired the first set. They fired the yellow ranger, the black ranger and the red ranger because the yellow ranger made like a comment like she went off, apparently at a, at a luncheon with all the production companies, bro, and they were fired because they were all represented by the same agent. So all three of them got replaced and it was just kimberly and billy and tommy that ended up staying on and the showrunner was basically like of the originals, they can stay as long as they want until they want to leave. So that's why tommy got such and then they would bring him back every now and then, obviously to bring up the franchise because he was such a loved character.
Speaker 3But can you imagine that? Because he was one of the few actors that owned it.
Speaker 1Yeah, like really fell into that and loved it absolutely. But can you imagine being like number one, loved by children for a year and then the next one you're? You know you're selling shoes at footlocker as an because they're kind of typecast. Yeah, that's it Now. At that point you can't be, ever be looked at. You're not a serious actor, You're a Power Ranger. You're a Power Ranger. You're a Power Ranger, bro. You're a great.
Speaker 3Ranger, you're not a thespian.
Speaker 1But you're not, tom Cruise.
Speaker 2You're not Michael B Jordan.
Speaker 2You know how like done right if you think about it yeah, especially like seeing now like some Japanese TikToks about modern day Japan, modern day Power Rangers. They have like anime effects like Rengoku, you know, the fire around them and shit. They're like teleport, but it's live action, bro, and they're like teleporting being the shit, it's even more. Or even like up there like I was like damn, I want to catch up now, like I want to see, like not only that, but I want to see movement. What's his name? Not moving writer? Common writer Right, I want to see common writer now, like all of it, cause it looks dope Like. But the thing like they just combine words that just sound cool, like they have orange soda, you know, and then like suddenly like an armor of like a guy, orange soda appears. He's like orange soda.
Speaker 3You know, the the ultimate moves do sound a lot better in japanese than in english no, no, no.
Speaker 2They're the actual japanese. It's actual japanese. They just when they're, when they're doing Kamen Rider, when they're activating their shit, it's just something random, like a red refrigerator. Hot wheel and they're like a refrigerator-ass armor, but it's dope. We're like damn, that's what you guys think.
Speaker 3Something cool about the Kamen Rider.
Speaker 2There was one where a guy shook the soda can and then he activated it, activated it Like, and then the soda can became the armor.
Speaker 3Okay, I'm thinking like that's pretty cool, though that's a Tony.
Speaker 2Stark level.
Speaker 3shit bro Like walked up and just.
Speaker 2And then fucking Sailor Moon transformation.
Speaker 1Yeah, bro, that's bad. Sailor Moon style transformation that's pretty fucking cool.
Speaker 3I don't want to be mad at it, but I don't know.
Speaker 2I don't know where he turns butt ass naked and starts to start shooting through him.
Speaker 1You're like what's going on with this fucking guy? Beetleborgs or some shit. Big bad beetleborgs, Big bad beetleborgs, Bro, when they cross over with Power Rangers.
Speaker 2I forgot about that crossover.
Speaker 1I just saw it bro, they did, they did. They fucking fall on the moon or some shit like that they come over to angel grove.
Speaker 3It's like power rangers or something like that, bro yeah they do fight.
Speaker 1It's so cool and remember the ninja turtles even had a crossovers oh yeah original was like I'm on your left cap. You know what I'm saying. That was like you brought everybody.
Speaker 2Yeah, you wanted me to bring more I've seen seen some TikTok ones where they, like the Japanese ones, bring all the Red Rangers from all the timelines. That's like Power.
Speaker 3Rangers. The American version did it too. Yeah, they did when, like they had all the teams and then Tommy wasn't like for the team.
Speaker 1Yeah, bro, he wasn't Red Ranger always and forever. Something like that is the name of the episode yeah, in forever, something like that.
Speaker 3His name of the episode. Yeah, because he he's been a white ranger, a green ranger, a red ranger and I think he's a black ranger a black ranger. He's the only one who's been like four different colors.
Speaker 1Yeah, and he, but he kills it every time. Yeah, yeah, but um, but yeah, that was. Uh, that was like an iconic thing because they had like 32 freaking versions. Like there was another one where they had like 11 or 15 different squads of rangers that all showed up that was epic too but when it's just all
Speaker 3the red. I mean I never kept watching and, like I'm, we're gonna age ourselves.
Speaker 1I only watched the first three generations I watched for a good little while, probably three or four, yeah yeah, yeah, I remember turbo yeah, there was like two or three movies that I kept up I didn't watch.
Speaker 3I didn't watch turbo I watched turbo.
Speaker 1I think it was like what was it? The?
Speaker 3first ones where the swords were like dinosaurs. Right, that was the original.
Speaker 1Power Rangers. That's right, mighty Morphin.
Speaker 3Mighty Morphin Right, and then the second ones. They were ninjas right.
Speaker 1Yes, the second one, they were ninjas.
Speaker 3The Red Ranger. He got the gorilla. No, he had a dragon.
Speaker 1Oh, he did have the dragon that. That was like the old school Japanese style.
Speaker 3Yeah, it turned into a ninja, and then it turned into a dragon.
Speaker 1So badass, no reason, but all of them. Yes, the dragon swords. The dragon swords. That's what they were.
Speaker 3That was the second generation and then the third generation were the really badass ones. The third generation was where they turn into in Power Rangers, the movie yeah, that's when they get the badass armor upgrades yeah, the gorilla yeah. The frog.
Speaker 2The frog. That movie was badass man.
Speaker 3That movie was badass until it was like. Ivan Ooze is like getting a Funko Pop.
Speaker 2Is he? Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 330 years later, bro, after 30 years, Ivan Ooze is like finally getting like a funkabob I mean deserved, but damn dog, is he even around to sign? It if I was like the funkabob came with like ooze on the side oh, that would be cool.
Speaker 1Like a little cup of it transforms you like the movie. That would be dope, but anyway, yeah, like that movie was so 90s but I wouldn't say motherfuckers are jumping out of this, no reason. Why do they skydive before? Because of teamwork, bro, bro, fuck it. Why not? Tommy comes out on a surfboard or like a snowboard, why? But it's so badass, it is so cool.
Speaker 3And then they start roller skating down the street.
Speaker 1I love it. They're the Power Rangers, bro. They're go-go Power Rangers. You know what?
Speaker 2I'm saying I remember when they got that suit it was some, some, some lady from the jungle, like gave him some pants, some pendants.
Speaker 3She was like fine, questionably dressed for a kid's movie she was no, she was just just right and she was, uh, she was, uh, she was in some other sci-fi series and that's why she was popular really, and she was recasted midway through the movie, so they had, to like, redo her whole scenes, damn.
Speaker 2What yeah?
Speaker 3That movie had like A bunch of problems, a difficult production.
Speaker 2Oh I didn't know, that.
Speaker 3Yeah, the suits were custom made for the movie because they wanted the suits to look badass instead of the skin size Dude.
Speaker 2the suits were so gangsta dog I like how they had like With the armor style suits style suit came in Flashlights and shit.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that shit didn't let them see more than five feet in front of them.
Speaker 3What the fuck it was cool because the yellow right here was the saber tooth. Yeah so the saber tooth eyes were flashlights.
Speaker 1Yeah, come on, I remember like whoa, how about when she got?
Speaker 2her ass handed to her.
Speaker 1Fighting the dark and shit and the Blue. Bro, I just got my ass handed to me. What the fuck? But no, I want to say after that, after the movie, I want to see a live action With Ninja Turtle.
Speaker 2I want to see that shit In the movies, man, cause I've seen comics Of Power Rangers. That shit is brutal.
Speaker 3Those are like they do, like a prequel comic, where it's like sword and is it sword?
Speaker 2Or like the Sword on Sword on the floating face.
Speaker 3Because there's a ranger war that leads to him ending up on Earth or something.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1It's like a prequel thing where he always picks some race, something like that, where it's like an alternate universe, where Tommy went evil or some shit like that and he has like the white and the green.
Speaker 2What was the name of the witch? The witch Rita Repulsa, rita Repulsa. There's a comic where Rita Repulsa like because Rita in the beginning of the she comes out, yeah. Right After 5,000 years, there's a comic of the 5,000 years how she like the reason she was sealed in there is because in that seal is like an AI that made her relive every single day the pain that she inflicted on the universe. So she will relive every day for 5,000 years like the victims that she like conquered all the planets and killed only to come out and be like ah, fuck it, you know, do it all over again.
Speaker 3That's why she wanted to mention Sorda the whole time, damn. No I didn't know that, but I know the comics do get really mature. It's kind of funny because the comics obviously we watched it as a child. I always wanted a more adult take on the Power Rangers. It's something you kind of crave because we all grew up watching it and now we're like man. I wish we had an adult take the new live action movie that came out.
Speaker 1I don't know five years ago.
Speaker 3It was really good.
Speaker 1It was good. I enjoyed it I liked it.
Speaker 3They had the Tommy and.
Speaker 1T-shirt at the end. I know they just had a slip, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3Bro, Becky G was one of the rangers. She was the yellow ranger.
Speaker 2Was she Becky G Becky? G was the yellow ranger, it's like one of her only acting credits. Oh my God, I remember that.
Speaker 3Yeah, she's like this tall.
Speaker 1Oh no, I had no idea bro.
Speaker 2That's crazy, but I enjoyed it, it wasn't a bad movie bro, the monster was the big golden monster. What was his?
Speaker 1name yeah, Goldar.
Speaker 2Goldar Damn.
Speaker 3I know a lot of shit.
Speaker 2I thought you were a Rangers fan. I was a when he was all fucking he was one of the worst villains.
Speaker 3Like he could like put up with Rita and take on all the Avengers at the same time.
Speaker 1Yeah, remember he put her like in a little jar and shit like that. Her and her henchmen, he's like shut up.
Speaker 2He did scary as fuck bro.
Death Note Fan Theories and Comics
Speaker 1He was menacing and he turned giant a couple times. He would actually like come down and fight, you know.
Speaker 3He. I wish you would have made him. I wish you would have met him before he passed away, because he was such a cool dude. I met him at Comicpalooza I heard man.
Speaker 1I heard Jason DeVe, Frank, yeah the Green.
Speaker 3Ranger, the White Ranger.
Speaker 1Dude, he was the only Red Ranger, the real Ranger. You know what I'm saying. When you think of Power Rangers, you think of yeah, because he has the gym. He was.
Speaker 2Houston based. Yeah, I think that's very, very cool about him, bro, but, like I said, he used to hit all the concert circuits and everything.
Speaker 1Go go, power Rangers Go get your mental health checked out, guys. Don't let it slip. Even the best heroes out there. Obviously we struggle with our demons, but you know, speaking of demons and struggling, you know it made me think of Rita Repulsa's AI thing that you were talking about Did you know, that they made a Death Note manga.
Speaker 1It's like fan made, where if light lived yeah, so it's, light lives. He makes it to an old man. He finally tells ryuk that he's ready to die. Ryuk writes his name in his book, but he doesn't have a soul. So where does he end up? He actually ends up in the realm of the shimigamis and light does and ryuk is there and he's just like, but he has no recollection of what the fuck happened. Out of nowhere he gets hit by a fucking bus right and he's like what the fuck? And then ryuk shows up and after that he gets hit with the bus. His memories start coming back. He's like, bro, what the fuck is going on here? And he's like, well, like you know, you killed about and let's just say a number, you killed you know 20 000 people, but you were alive.
Speaker 1He's like you're going to relive every single person's death until you die he's like so every how, whatever those deaths were that you made happen to people you're gonna go and he's like and once it's over, then you're finally gonna die. And he's just like so I have this much time, though, right, and he's like bet.
Speaker 1He's like who runs the shimigami world, and then he has a heart attack and he comes back and he's just like, well, it's so and so, but you got to come and find him. Though he's just like, how do I become the god of the new world? He's like, well, you'd have to. And he's like, bet I got time. And then he dies again. But then he just starts walking, bro, and he's like on his hunt to try to take over how he? Becomes the king of the Demigami world.
Speaker 3Oh, that's cool man where, like it never gets, really gets told what happened to Light it's like well, one theory is that he becomes a Shinigami.
Speaker 2yeah, and that's his dead note at the very end it's at the very beginning, like at the very beginning of when of the episode. It's like, hey, go talk to the demon that fucked around with with the human, and so the demon has like brown hair. So he's like, hey, tell me about, about the time you fucked around with humans. He's like, oh yeah, let me tell you. You know, but it was the very at the very beginning.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah. So I think that's cool.
Speaker 2It doesn't get confirmed no, so, like I said, I think that's the fan theory where it connects it all the way around.
Speaker 3Did you know that? Uh, there's an easter egg of. I think we talked about it on Death Parade. Yeah, that light goes to that afterlife.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, yes yes, I thought that was such a cool fucking theory, bro. But anyway, sorry, it just made me think of the I know it's been a bunch of Power Ranger episode apparently yeah, it's a Power Ranger episode we're gonna call it Rapid, rapid, rapid rangers. Oh, but we didn't even finish it, bro. So, like Mighty Morphin's, I think Turbo was next, and then it was Power Rangers in Space, or something like that.
Speaker 3Yeah, it kept going, yeah, yeah. And then there was, like I said, I stopped at three, I stopped at the Ninja Ranger.
Speaker 2I stopped at Turbo.
Speaker 1I think I went to Turbo, or maybe the next one Turbo's, the fourth generation Turbo's, the fourth generation.
Speaker 3Turbo's the fourth generation. Okay, so I went to Turbo, for sure, because Turbo had a movie. Yeah, I'm like I know.
Speaker 1I made two movies for sure out of the Rangers Almost three, but I know for sure two and then after Turbo.
Speaker 3I think it's the In Space or something like that yeah, and then completely lost.
Speaker 1Because I think before the In Space like a cop or something like that yeah yeah, yeah, he's super fat bro.
Speaker 2I was in it, fam, and again. If I'm wrong, please at me. In the comments I've seen the TikTok ones where, like they show the Japanese one, like he's sick as fuck as a gatling gun and just epic, bro like yeah, I just think that America really stumbled on a good one there, bro like bro, the toys bro yeah, so much money.
Speaker 3Dude, random plug my orthodontist showtime.
Speaker 2He has like the toys, he has like the swords and shit cases of the swords like the first generation, the second, the third, and then that's cool he has like this legacy edition which like it's like legacy all blacks platinum edition.
Speaker 3What and it's like all the black swords and you know they wrote that. They wrote that. Uh, it's like a turtle looking thing with a long neck. Yeah, yeah, he had that one. You're talking about the one, that is all of them.
Speaker 1Yeah, like the, like the, the green I remember the regular and then the turtle. Yes, the green, the regular and the turtle, he has that whole big and then it was like a long neck like a remember to go with it. It's called titanium or something, bro, that's fucking sick. If it cost a thousand, if I had it.
Speaker 2You're mining, take my money, fam. Go, go, power Rangers.
Speaker 3The ones that I had the ones that I bought. Was that second generation, that dragon?
Speaker 1I had that dragon. Yeah, I had the dragon too, but I had the first two generations.
Speaker 2I had the first generation where you press a button and the guy's head would switch, when it was like the main head and the ranger head. Yeah, same same.
Speaker 1I had those too, those toys were expensive though they were, and our parents bought them for us, and where are they at now? Fucking in the trash.
Speaker 3Somewhere and the thing is if you had kept them, some of them actually go for a living.
Speaker 2I had it.
Speaker 3I think I had the black is going to be in good condition and you got to have kept the box.
Speaker 1Yeah, which is just again. The boxes don't survive.
Speaker 3Yeah, there's no way.
