05 - Don't Hiss Off the Cobra Man (Kamen Rider Eps 9-10)

If this week’s Henshin Men was an episode of Friends, Travis and Nathan would’ve titled it, “The One with Cobra Man.” This Kamen Rider two-parter isn’t for faint-of-heart dog lovers, though. Cobra Man kills a “Kamen Kenny’s” German shepherd named Dummy (off-screen…apparently). But even after KR goes full-tilt John Wick on him, the Shocker fiend is resurrected by a mad dominatrix scientist using—no joke—the blood of puppies. In case you didn’t think the (Yahtzee)-adjacent secret society that abducts people and performs eugenic experiments on them to create brainwashed super-soldiers to conquer the world wasn’t evil…. Hey, this is the sort of highbrow comedy and commentary you’ve come to expect every week on Henshin Men, so don’t look at us in that tone of voice!

Kamen Rider (1971) is available to watch on Shout!Factory TV and Tubi. Watch there to follow along with us!
