Walter shares stories from his time as TV’s first black super hero on the popular ‘90s show, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a legacy that lives on, decades later.

 

He also debunks the “Red Ranger Curse” and opens up about what he heard on the set of the 30th anniversary Power Rangers special that finally fulfilled his actor dreams.

 

Plus, Walter admits some cruise ship debauchery and tells us what happened after !3 said goodbye to Zack and the Mastodon.

 

So summon your Zords, because it’s Morphin time on a brand new Pod Meets World!
