Doctor Boo and Chef Gordon debate the culinary value of fish fingers and custard. Obviously not a real thing and the AI thing helped a bit, which should strike fear in the heart of Marble Mouth Davies that ChatGPT can produce a better Doctor Who script than anything out of his return trip.
Anyway, here’s the fun portion…

First off, no Gimmick Table today; we’ll double up next Sunday and I’ll have a special video on Monday. However, I do have something of remote significance today.
If all goes according to plan, this will be the 6,000th published blog post as of this publication. And what better way to celebrate the occasion than to present the finalized Xmas Week video schedule. Should be quite a fun time ’round these parts.
This schedule also represents the last batch of videos for 2025. The first video of 2026 will probably hit Saturday, January 10th and will cover my time with Ataribox, while the first review of 2026 will hit on Friday the 16th, kicking off the Valis reviews that have been way overdue. From there, who knows? I might actually pop up the new video trailer for the channel somewhere along the way.
Meanwhile, on the non-video side of things, there will be a special Christmas morning edition of the DTM Mailbag to go along with the Xmas “Special” on the same day, a Boxing Day edition Bite commentary, and perhaps even a surprise post or two.
Anyway, that’s the plan. It might actually happen for once. Would be nice.
Later.
The end of Super Sentai after fifty long years is nigh… and I’m not quite sure what to think. I figured that it would survive in some form or fashion without the Power Rangers partnership, but I didn’t think that it would also die off. I know that PR isn’t technically dead because Hasbro is going to milk that thing for all it’s worth, but we went from three decades of consistent product to nothing and it’s been a shithole ever since.
Yes, there are rumors of this and that, but until something substantial happens and not just some random hack writer’s fantasy sways at Screen Rant being passed off as actual news, there is no reason for me to believe that this franchise is dead and buried. Hell, Boom’s fancy new Prime series is supposedly coming to an end after sixteen issues and no word on what comes afterwards, if anything comes at all.
I wish I could be more upbeat about this, but right now, it seems like all we have to look forward to whatever Hasbro can squeeze out of those Mighty Morphin Member Berries for all their worth. Folks hoping that we’d go beyond that point had better get comfortable. You’re probably gonna get more MMPR whether you want it or not. Gone are the days when a WWE wrestler pulls down another WWE wrestler’s pants to reveal that they’re wearing Power Rangers Time Force underwear. That ain’t happening anymore. Now they’ll be wearing Ptera Ranger socks or something.
Eh… whatever. I’ve got the old shit to rewatch on Youtube… and the DVDs… I’m feeling fine right now.
I’m in a generous mood today… and also, cramps woke me up in the middle of the night… So you’re getting this one early. Will you be kung fu fighting tonight? Does anyone even kung fu fight anymore? The world will neither know nor care.
I’ve taken the liberty of asking ChatGPT how Gordon Ramsay would react to Castlevania Wall Meat. This is the response I was given…

Let’s keep this short.
Harlem Heat retain their tag titles over the American Males; a perfectly acceptable match for the most part. Sting submits some New Japan guy with the Scorpion, but promises he won’t hold back if Lex wins the title tonight (spoiler: he doesn’t). Giant CHOKESLAMS Scott Norton because that’s all we can think of with this guy; have him CHOKESLAM big dudes and shit. And then there was the main event that saw Randy Savage defend the WCW title against Lex Luger… a pretty good match for about ten minutes or so before Hogan and Flair run in for the DQ. Don’t ask me how they got a DQ because I’m not sure I know. Something happened during a pin and then there was a DQ.
You know… I’m enjoying these shows for the most part because they’re nice, easy watches. I’d appreciate it if you kept that going for a little while longer and save the fuck finishes for the nWo days next year. Thanks.
In dabbling the Netflix for my one-month stay on the service, I noticed that they still have the old MMPR episodes. For reference, this is Netflix Canada; not sure about the US, but the only things left on the service are the three seasons of MMPR, Beast Morphers, and the Dino/Cosmic Fury package… oh, and Once And Always is there too.
Curiously, they’ve replaced the 2010 reversioned MMPR run with the “new” Re-Ignition episodes. For those who don’t know, Re-Ignition is Hasbro’s latest recycling of the first season of MMPR; apparently upscaled to HD with AI hackery and with each episode having a tacked on “Mighty Morphin Minute” at the end of each episode featuring some poor voiceover dude trying so hard to be hip and cool to the younguns and failing miserably. I hope he got paid regardless. Anyway, Netflix has all sixty episodes of Season 1 under this Re-Ignition gimmick while Youtube is still at Episode 54 (the Trick Or Treat episode… one of a number of Halloween-themed episodes in MMPR was uploaded in the first week of December.)
So for those who are indifferent towards this whole rebranding thing, rejoice! There’s only six more episodes to go before this thing closes up shop and chances are we never talk about this again unless Hasbro decides to go full bore with this thing because it’s cheaper than putting out a brand-new show from scratch.
This is where I’m reduced to when talking about Power Rangers these days.
Damn, that’s depressing…
Well, they decided on the finals of the “Who Gets To Retire John Cena” tournament that will take place on this week’s Smackdown and it boils down to either GUNTHER or LA Knight. All due respect to both superstars, I honestly don’t care. GUNTHER doesn’t really need the rub from such a match and while I’d like to see LA Knight be used more effectively than he has been, somehow I don’t see him beating John Cena. If anything, they’re giving John one last guy to feed if the former Eli Drake ends up being the last guy.
I’ve maintained that there was only one guy that I had any interest in seeing wrestle John Cena. That guy had mentioned it in interviews and made it a mission of sorts. I’m disappointed that the match hasn’t happened, though I’m honestly not surprised, either. This John Cena retirement tour has been a thing that happened. Not necessarily a good thing, not necessarily a bad thing… well, if you want to count that heel turn as a bad thing, go right ahead, but it just felt like a complete waste of time. It’s either going in a direction that was left to drift because one of the key instigators of that direction decided that he had to go now (his planet needed him) or it’s just rehashing shit that I’ve already seen before and replaying all the classics. And hey, credit where it’s due; people have eaten up the rehashing of the classics… but I just prefer to revisit those matches in the archives.
So yeah, this last match is no buys for me… but then again, a lot of wrestling these days seems to be no buys for me. I’m wondering if the universe is telling me something.
A couple days needed to finalize some of the hard details for the month before we begin, but needless to say, the final stretch of 2025 will feature… well, more of the same stuff you’ve seen in November.
You know what could have made this better? Ninjas… just saying.
