It's our 100th Episode! And we didn't want to celebrate on our own, so we brought in some new friends, Spencer and John from the show Eric Hates Dragon Ball Z to do a commentary-slash-reaction to the second live-action bootleg movie, Taiwan's Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins.
In this episode:
- Jelli and Bekinney are celebrating 100 episodes
- We reveal our title and instruct listeners where to find this one
- We discuss some of the production facts about the film, its 1991 release, and the production team working on the film
- Discussing the history of Taiwanese cinema
- Why this movie is on Tubi, Amazon Prime, and official YouTube channels
- A theory about why this movie looks like it has a budget
- Forays into the history of China and Taiwan
- A wild combination of everything being absolutely right and ABSOLUTELY wrong
- and more, including some general pop culture, trivia, and editorializing, as usual as we react to this insane fever dream of a film
