MMPR 121: Passing the Lantern

Published: Feb. 9, 2016, midnight

We’ve got a mood lighting vibe on the podcast this week, as we watch the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers episode ‘Passing the Lantern!’ What is metaphor and what is real? (It’s surprisingly ambiguous!) Why does Lord Zedd frantically sorting through a pile of lanterns so thoroughly amuse us? And how did the show go from blatant racial stereotypes to a (relatively) nuanced portrayal of a foreign culture in one episode?? None of these questions are answered on this episode of the Mighty Morphin’ Ranger Danger podcast… but we think you’ll enjoy it anyway!
