This week on Warp My TARDIS, KJ the Comic Guy and Security Dan open with Mother’s Day greetings before diving into a heartfelt tribute to the late Kenji Oba, legendary Space Sheriff Gavan actor and Sentai icon. Drawing from decades of fandom, they reflect on Oba’s impact across Super Sentai, Power Rangers, and classic Japanese action cinema — noting, “Kenji Oba was all over that… probably best known for Space Sheriff Gavan” . From there, the hosts shift into a whirlwind of geek culture updates: - He-Man movie merch leaks, including the now-infamous yard‑long Power Sword drink holder that has both hosts questioning their bladder capacity. - Star Wars hype, from May the 4th celebrations to the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu film and the rise of competitive lightsaber fencing through LudoSport. - Fan Expo Canada guest news, highlighting stunt performer Brendan Wayne, one of the physical actors behind Din Djarin. The back half of the episode becomes a deep, thoughtful dive into how to introduce newcomers to Star Trek — sparked by a coworker’s question. They explore viewing orders, the challenges of TOS camp, the strengths of TNG as an entry point, and the emotional resonance of Strange New Worlds. As Dan puts it, “Strange New Worlds has become probably one of my favorite… Star Trek series to date.” Finally, the duo celebrates the imminent release of Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8: A Parade of Horribles, praising Jeff Hays’ narration and Matt Dinniman’s worldbuilding while laughing about spoiler‑happy authors and cosplay chaos. A warm, energetic, fandom‑packed episode full of nostalgia, humor, and genuine love for genre storytelling.
