Alpha 5 is the robot companion of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, whose head is a small Gravitron fairgrounds ride and who yells “AYE-YI-YI!” a lot and used to really annoy my mom. But now in this world of Hollywood rebootery, he will be sexxed up and played by Bill Hader (yes sexxed up—Bill Hader CAN GET IT).

Aye-yi-yi! Welcome #BillHader as #Alpha5 to the #PowerRangersMovie - Coming in 2017! pic.twitter.com/tEeJqEPISE

Hader joins Elizabeth Banks (Rita Repulsa) and Bryan Cranston (Zordon) in the upcoming Power Rangers.

While I adore Bill Hader, this post is mostly an excuse to share with you this majestic gem I found on YouTube.

Merry Alpha’s Magical Christmas to all and to all a good nigh-yi-yi.

(First one of you to mention my header pic is actually Alpha 6 gets a real strong NERD ALERT and a swirly.)
