Bonus Episode #7: Henshin Men, Episode 069 – “The Shocker Chainsaw Massacre” | Kamen Rider: The Next | Ft. Christopher Riner
Description
In our third Henshin Men bonus re-upload, Chris returns as a pinch hitter for Jake to discuss the sequel to Masked Rider: The First, Kamen Rider: The Next. This was Chris’s (and Nate’s) first exposure to Kamen Rider V3, and as you’ll hear, their opinions on the character have evolved since this episode. What’s exciting is this film is finally getting an official U.S. release on blu-ray from Media Blasters. Enjoy!
The original shownotes:
“Sixty-nine, dudes!” And now that the obvious joke is out of the way: Christopher Riner returns as a second-time guest because Jake Hambrick was busy with family (good for him!). But Mr. Riner can’t help but ask, “Why me?” The film he discusses with Nathan, Kamen Rider: The Next, is a secret J-horror movie complete with a Sadako knockoff. (Making it accidentally perfect for Halloween season). To say it’s a far cry from its predecessor, Masked Rider: The First, would be an understatement. It’s dour, convoluted, and confusing. But it does do one thing better than The First. What’s that? Let’s just say it made Chris think Koichi Sakamoto was involved with this movie. Listen to hear this and more in the latest Henshin Men!
