The Magic Begins Commentary (100th Episode! ft. Eric Hates Dragon Ball Z)
Episode description
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
