There’s shenanigans afoot in our ongoing deep dive into Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, the faintly baffling fantasy adventure series from the makers of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. A messenger from Ivar’s kingdom has a problem that urgently requires his attention and one of the garrisons on the border of Kells is apparently under siege. Could these two disparate events be connected? Yes. Obviously.
S3E17 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Aideen's Choice
We continue our deep dive into Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, the action fantasy series set in pretend Ireland by Saban Entertainment best known for producing Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, with Aideen’s Choice in which Aideen the fairy desperately wants to become human for reasons that we are assured have nothing to do with her deep desire to romance Rohan. How does this turn out? Listen along to find out.
S3E16 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Night of the Spirits
Our deep dive into Saban Entertainment’s Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog continues with an episode about a pagan festival that manages to avoid any kind of actual religious content and is remarkably light on content full stop. It’s mostly just the Mystic Knights pratting about in the vicinity of a harvest festival and sometimes that’s fine. Is this one of those times? Listen in to find out.
S3E14 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog - Battle of the Druids
Our deep dive into Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog continues with Battle of the Druids which features one of my very favourite things in all of entertainment, a guest turn from a classically trained British ham who absolutely understands the assignment. When Cathbad the druid’s old mentor Sithcheen rocks up unannounced everyone thinks he’s absolutely the bees knees but is there more going on than meets the eye? Aideen the fairy certainly thinks so.
S3E11 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog - Tyrune the Three Headed Dragon
We continue our deep dive into the Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, the Ireland adjacent fantasy series from Saban Entertainment, creators of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. This is episode 12 in which several extremely complicated and unnecessary plans are hatched and Rohan behaves even more like a spoiled toddler than usual.
S3E10 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Dragon's Fury
It’s time for episode 11 of our deep dive into Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, Dragon’s Fury in which a former friend and ally turns on the kingdom of Kells and sets fire to about 30% of it. How will our heroes respond and how will your host manage to shoehorn in his psychology qualifications? Listen along to find out.
S7E8 -Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Draganta
We continue our deep dive in the weirder corners of pop culture with Draganta, episode 9 of Saban Entertainment’s tokugatsu adjacent fantasy series Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. Having obtained magical weapons, magical armour, and an entire working dragon Rohan, Deidre, Ivar, and Angus must now find the legendary warrior Draganta, something that proves a lot easier than you might have expected. Also I think I’m going mad.
S3E7 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: The Taming of Pyre Part 2
Our ongoing deep dive into the power rangers adjacent tokugatsu TV show Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog continues as we explore part two of The Taming of Pyre in which Rohan, Angus, Deidre, and Ivar must do battle with four evil sentinels, a fire-breathing dragon, and their ongoing short term memory problems. Having lost their weapons in the last episode how are they going to deal with the challenges facing them and will the answer somehow be turtles? Listen along to find out.
S3E6 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: The Taming of Pyre (Part 1)
Episode 7 of Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog is a two parter! Very exciting. Queen Maeve has assembled all four of Mider’s diabolical sentinels to attack the mystic knights while they’re busy trying to tame a dragon that definitely doesn’t want to be tamed. There’s also a twist at the end that I definitely didn’t see coming. Listen along to find out more.
S3E5 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: The Wolf of the Rocks
Episode 6 sees the established formula very much in place as Angus has to claim his magical armour from a bored Irish character actor dressed like a fool while everyone else is distracted by a low effort monster summoned by the dastardly Queen Maeve who has other things to worry about, namely the low quality of the entertainers at her court.
S3E1 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Legend of the Ancient Scroll
It’s time for a new season of Popular Antiquarian and this time our main focus is going to be Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, the weird Irish themed Power Rangers knock off from 1998. In this first episode we’re meeting the main cast and trying to decide which one is the most irritating (it’s Angus). Join HJDoom for another deep dive into something that absolutely does not deserve the care and attention being lavished on it.
