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

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
