AKEEM LAWANSON: Hi guys!
My name's Akeem, and I'm one of the vloggers on the Geek
and Sundry blogs channel.
I'm from Chicago, Illinois, and I love voice over work and
impressions.
Hey, Willy.
Can I eat the cat just this once?
Come on!
[CAT YOWL]
AKEEM LAWANSON: I recently got the awesome opportunity to go
to Wizard World Chicago Comic Con on behalf of Geek and
Sundry, where I got to interview one of my most
beloved childhood icons, Jason David Frank.
Let's check out the interview right now!
Hey, what's up guys?
Akeem here at the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con.
Joining me right now is a guy that I know from my childhood.
You guys probably know him as well.
Played the Green Ranger and the White
Ranger, Jason David Frank.
How are you, man?
JASON DAVID FRANK: Good.
I'm doing good.
Thanks for having me, guys.
AKEEM LAWANSON: Could you talk a little bit about the 20th
anniversary special you guys are working on?
What is the synopsis, as much you could possibly tell us?
JASON DAVID FRANK: In a nutshell, all the other Power
Rangers Super Mega Force are getting their
butt kicked, basically.
AKEEM LAWANSON: Seeing you come out in the Green Ranger
suit, my heart dropped.
I didn't know what to say.
JASON DAVID FRANK: Well that's the suit I wore--
well, the spandex and everything-- in Super Mega
Force next year on Nickelodeon.
You can catch it at the return of Tommy, the Green Ranger, so
it's going to be pretty epic.
AKEEM LAWANSON: That is going to be amazing.
JASON DAVID FRANK: I have a costume contest right now that
I'm about to go judge.
I'm about to head over there.
So why don't you join me?
We've got a lot of excited fans that are dressed up, and
I'm one of the judges.
So we're going to take a look.
AKEEM LAWANSON: Going to be awesome!
Let's go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
AKEEM LAWANSON: Now, if you had to pick any Ranger other
then yourself, who would it be?
JASON DAVID FRANK: I would have to probably say the White
Dino Ranger.
AKEEM LAWANSON: Really?
JASON DAVID FRANK: Just because it's sick, dude.
The White Dino Ranger is sick.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
JASON DAVID FRANK: I'm about to go to the bathroom.
Oh, you guys can't come in.
Don't make fun of me, please.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
AKEEM LAWANSON: You were the Black Dino
Thunder Ranger, right?
When I saw you in that series, I went insane.
Cause I was like, Tommy's back.
Tommy's back!
Now, I don't want to get everyone excited.
You were a scientist in that one.
JASON DAVID FRANK: I was a doctor.
I always wanted to tell someone.
Is there a doctor in the house?
And I wanted to run up and help them and say, well, I'm
not really a doctor, but I do play one on TV.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
AKEEM LAWANSON: This would mean that Tommy went off to go
to college.
He got his Ph.D. Is that what that would mean?
JASON DAVID FRANK: All I could say is
that I got seven degrees.
Seven degrees in black belt, baby.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
AKEEM LAWANSON: That's right, it's Tommy.
JASON DAVID FRANK: Nice mohawk, lady.
I've seen a lot of costume contests,
but the Wizard World?
Not only do I take karate seriously, these guys take
cosplay serious.
AKEEM LAWANSON: Props to you guys for making the props.
JASON DAVID FRANK: Props to you guys for making the props.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
AKEEM LAWANSON: So we're actually headed in now to the
costume contest.
JASON DAVID FRANK: Here's the cool thing about costumes,
man, is that people really get into it.
And it's their outlet where they can and just relax, and
nothing matters right now.
Showtime.
AKEEM LAWANSON: Jason, you rock.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
AKEEM LAWANSON: Wasn't that awesome?
Jason David Frank, me talking to him--
amazing.
Me just being able to talk to someone that I idolized as a
child was a truly fulfilling moment for me.
If you guys ever get the opportunity to hang out with
someone you idolize as a child, who
would it be and why?
Let me know in the comments below.
Be sure to like, subscribe, and share this video so that
all those Super Power Ranger fans out there can know how
cool JDF is.
We're friends now.
I can call him by his initials.
Definitely check out Geek and Sundry blogs channel for all
the awesome vloggers over there talking about things
that they love.
And of course, right here on the Geek and Sundry channel.
Thank you guys for watching.
See you next time.
Bye guys.
