episode 270: Ultraman Ace (1972-1973)
We are joined by Jared Foust (Xenofauna) and Connor Anderson (Easterman's Kaiju Kompendium) for an extensive deep dive into Ultraman Ace. The firth entry in the Ultra series brought in some changes, like recurring alien villains and the idea of two Ultraman hosts. Although some of these ideas didn't last, Ultraman Ace brought a wackier sensibility to the franchise. We'll talk about the highs and lows of the series, the change in approach that it took, the crazy monster designs and more! Relax and join the conversation.
