Starting point is 00:00:00 FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. I don't think we've ever had anything as fitting of the title Caravan of Garbage than the movie we're looking at this week, Mason. Oh, yes. Tell me more about it. The reason we're looking at this is because the anime...
Starting point is 00:00:41 Animes are back, or they're not. I can't remember. Look, anime was gone. There was none for decades, and Anime's are back. Or they're not. I can't remember. Look. Anime was gone. There was none. For decades. And now it's back. In its single greatest form. Dragon Ball Broly? Is that what it's called?
Starting point is 00:00:52 I was talking about the bloody... Oh, Battle Angel Alita. Okay, right. Which is fine by all accounts. Uh-huh. But, look. Hey. Look, let's go back to 2009.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Because Dragon Ball has been... Whoa! We're going through a portal. We to 2009. Because Dragon Ball has been... Whoa! We're going through a portal. We are. Whoa! Dragon Ball has been... Hey, we're in 2009. Nickelback's big.
Starting point is 00:01:11 It's not as good here. No, it's bad. It's bad here. I believe I covered that by saying Nickelback's currently big. But look, Dragon Ball Evolution came off the back of a very, very popular run of Dragon Ball and then Dragon Ball Z and then sort of Dragon Ball GT. People don't really like that one. This is before Dragon Ball Super, obviously. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:01:33 But people couldn't get enough of Dragon Ball. It was still riding high. So they thought, why not make the greatest Western adaptation of an anime of all time? Yes. And they did the opposite of that. They made a terrible, terrible thing. Now, Mason, as someone who's never seen Dragon Ball, you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Did this make sense to you on some levels or all levels or no levels? Look, mostly. I mean, I got where they were going with stuff. I think a lot of motivations and plans and stuff didn't make sense. I have seen snippets of Dragon Ball before. You get it. People screaming. I'm sort of aware. You're screaming and powering up. Yeah. I have seen snippets of Dragon Ball before. You get it. People screaming and... I'm sort of aware of...
Starting point is 00:02:06 You're screaming and powering up. Yeah. I know a lot of that. I know they have to gather the Dragon Balls. Hair changes colour. They get the balls. Yeah. And then a lot of people floating in the air, yelling.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Did you know a man turned into a monkey? No. Oh. I mean, I know that now. Yes. Does that happen in the cartoons? Yes. Constantly or just the once?
Starting point is 00:02:21 There's a few times it happens. We'll get to it. All right. So, it opens explaining what happened in the past. Yeah. So it's basically Piccolo tried to invade and he bought with him. Tell, don't show. That's what they say in movie making, don't they?
Starting point is 00:02:36 But in here they do both. And then he also brings with him a monkey. It's more of a chimpanzee looking gorilla man. Or Osaru. They attack Earth, but they're beaten back, unfortunately. And that's good. Find people with sticks? We don't really see, or we do see.
Starting point is 00:02:50 I don't remember. Because these guys have got crazy laser powers and stuff. Do you think it was the 20 minutes he took powering up? Maybe. They just hit him with a bunch of sticks. Yeah, he's still a bunch of shoes on. Guys, I'm powering up. Powering up.
Starting point is 00:03:01 I need my 20 minutes. This is really inconsiderate. All right, I'll be back in thousands of years. Can you power up before the battle and then walk in with the power? Good question. I think that's... I would. That's worth noticing.
Starting point is 00:03:09 That's what I'd do. Cut to the present day of 2009. Nickelback are there. But also is Justin Chatwin as Goku. Yes. Like most people in this movie are supposed to be teenagers. He's 25. Did you look it up?
Starting point is 00:03:21 He is 25. Maybe he's 26 when this came out. Okay, right. There's some older people in He's certainly not younger No But there's also some older people Than him
Starting point is 00:03:28 Who are supposed to be the same age Oh boy But that's classic American High school in a movie It really is Wherever he's in their 20s and 30s They kind of do it less now I feel I think so too yeah
Starting point is 00:03:35 But yeah That's because child acting Is getting better probably Maybe Or more children are being Funnelled into the Hollywood system Yeah I think maybe The labour laws have loosened up
Starting point is 00:03:43 That's probably it yeah And good I I say. So we get a green screen fight on him fighting his grandpa who's got a stick and they're fighting on two ropes and they're flipping about. Yes. And flying kicks, very slow looking flying kicks and such. And I thought at some point during this,
Starting point is 00:04:01 Goku might question why he's able to do any of those things. Yeah. But he never does. Is it standard in this universe? It's never made clear. Because a lot of people in this movie are very good at martial arts and can like leap over a car or like, you know, move the air with their hands. Do a chi. Do a chi or whatever.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Or a ki as they call it in this. Yes. It's never like, this is insane. It's just taken as a matter of course. Yes. But does any of that fight look realistic to you? No. Yeah, it's not very good, is it?
Starting point is 00:04:28 No, it's very good. And he's like, listen, Grandpa, why can't I beat up all my bullies at school? I could tear them apart with one hand, he says. Yeah. And he's like, well, why don't you teach me to get chicks? Why don't you teach me normal stuff? Do you remember asking your grandpa to teach you how to get chicks? No, he was dead.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Okay. But is that who you turned to? No, he was dead. But is that who you turned to? No, he was dead. Yeah, but even if he was alive, let's say on his deathbed. I'd be like, do you want to dig out of there, grandpa? Grandpa, tap once for yes and twice for no. Oh, he's dead. He's dead.
Starting point is 00:04:58 I just think that's a strange thing to ask somebody. I agree. That's the father figure you got. Maybe he's got some old timey wisdom. Maybe he's got that old timey wisdom of like Well how I met my wife Is I just I asked her out
Starting point is 00:05:08 And she said no So I went to her house every day For the next year And I just asked her out every time And eventually Eventually she just gave in And anyway We've been married for 58 years
Starting point is 00:05:16 Eventually she turned 23 And no one else had married her So she married me Yes That was the era Anyway so We get an explanation for the dragon balls He's got a Dragon Ball.
Starting point is 00:05:25 His grandpa's got one. You need seven, you get a sweet-ass wish. What do they do without, like if you've just got one, what's it do? Nothing. You can throw it. That's a shame. That's about it. It doesn't do anything?
Starting point is 00:05:34 In the anime, you can get less of them and have less wishes. So less than one wish. You get half a wish. No, you don't get, you can get more. You can get, if you get seven, I can't remember how many, but you get something like three wishes. But if you get like four, you can have one or something like that. Okay, because in this movie, you get seven I can't remember how many but you get something like three wishes but if you get like four you can have one
Starting point is 00:05:46 or something like that okay because in this movie you get one wish it seems yes okay you don't think it's true so in this universe you do get a fragment
Starting point is 00:05:53 if you gather some of them you get half a wish you get half a wish exactly okay you have to carefully like word the wish you gotta word it properly
Starting point is 00:05:59 you gotta word it properly you'll be like I'd like the world's greatest turkey sandwich and also a big heavy weight to fall on my head and then you gotta hope that the half of the wish you want comes true. And you get a big old weight to the back of the head.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Oh, no. So we get a look in at his life at school. He's bullied. Probably because he's too handsome. He's too handsome and his hair's too good. By that I mean bad and weird. Was that hairstyle popular? I'm going to Google.
Starting point is 00:06:22 No. Let's talk about it. But I'm going to Google 2009 men's hairstyles and see if that is anything close I think there was some kind of Noel Fielding
Starting point is 00:06:29 kind of big hair going on in that era yeah right like you know you kind of Russell Brand there was you know there was some pomposity
Starting point is 00:06:35 there was some height there was some hairspray but I don't think but not in this weird kind of not in this weird faux anime I don't know
Starting point is 00:06:43 here's a picture of I think more it's more likely the hair would have been down in 2009. Yeah, it'd be like your 30 seconds to Mars hair or whatever. Yeah, right, right, right. Whatever Zac Efron had in I'm 17, baby. Yeah, for sure. So, you know, whatever that was. I looked up some of the students that were bullying him.
Starting point is 00:06:59 One of them is named in real life called Texas Battle. Wow, okay, I love it. He was 29 at the time of filming incredible okay this is where uh we get a little bit more of piccolo who i believe is the best part of this film because you believe he's a real person yes he's i think the casting is really good you think it's really a man named piccolo who's an alien from outer space he will not be swayed from this i've been talking to him all afternoon he's like nah this guy's an alien that's why he's so good in this movie because he really understands an alien warlord because that's right. He will not be swayed from this. I've been talking to him all afternoon. He's like, no, this guy's an alien. That's why he's so good in this movie,
Starting point is 00:07:25 because he really understands an alien warlord, because that's what he is. Exactly. The only thing, he's missing his little antennae, which he has in the... Oh, yeah, right, right, right. And he euthyphies in the original. There's none of that.
Starting point is 00:07:37 He just wants to come to Earth to get the Dragon Balls. He's killing a bunch of people for them. At one point, he says, I'm going to rule this mud ball, this diseased mud ball or whatever. And I'm like... Why why why would you want to if you think it's gross and diseased go somewhere else just go to a nicer place what are you where are you from go there yeah well your friends will be green as well you're weirder now one aspect of the goku character they get right aside from the hair which is dead on uh is that he's not really a good student or interested in anything else other than fighting okay so this is kind of he's also in a good student or interested in anything else other than fighting. Okay, yeah. Though this is kind of... He's also into chicks,
Starting point is 00:08:06 so I guess there's... Here's the thing, though. I think if you were really good at fighting... Yeah. ...and you really loved fighting, surely there'd be an avenue in high school for that. Like, he'd be on a martial arts team. He's not allowed to do this.
Starting point is 00:08:18 He's too good at fighting. I don't like that aspect at all. None of this was in Goku's show or whatever. You're just going to make him want to fight more. Yeah. Let him fight a bit yeah and he won't want to fight all the time that's true you might get bored of it i love it when they ask him a question by a sports car ask him a question in class yeah and he starts rattling off about the namex oh the aliens he's like like the aliens my grandfather told me all about what are you doing and also it it speaks to the idea that they've just invented this universe.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Yes. Because I think if he was this, if you were the teacher, you'd never ask him anything. Because every time he'd be like, maybe that's what he was. He was like, man, I haven't asked, I haven't asked Goku a question in like six months.
Starting point is 00:08:56 They're going to ask me about his, okay, I'll ask him a question this time. I hope he doesn't say anything weird. Hey, Goku, what do you think about the history of this nation? And he's like, well, the thing about the aliens is, oh, I've made a mistake question this time I hope he doesn't say anything weird Hey Goku What do you think about The history of this Nation And he's like Well the thing about the aliens is
Starting point is 00:09:08 Oh I've made a mistake What have I done Yeah Then we get him opening a locker With his With his Kai or Chi Chi Whatever it's called
Starting point is 00:09:15 It's called Chi in this universe Great But in the movie is it But what is it in the movie In the movie it's called Chi It is called Chi in the movie And I think they've done that Because there's two pronunciations
Starting point is 00:09:23 But also The girl he's interested in Is called Chi Chi So they couldn't have called it Chi That's a good point Because then they would have had to Do some word play And that would have been more work for them
Starting point is 00:09:31 So they just called it key At the start of the movie he tries to To be clear He doesn't open the lockers with a key No Because anybody can do that Anybody can do that But at the start of the movie
Starting point is 00:09:37 He can't use his key Yes But then When he's at the lockers Except to start his sports car Yes But then he's just at the lockers And he can
Starting point is 00:09:44 Yeah He just opens like 20 lockers There's no explanation Because he Yes. But then he's just at the lockers and he can. Yeah. He just opens like 20 lockers. There's no explanation. Because he's horny. That's why. That's where I was going with it. Think about it. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:09:52 So she invites him to a sweet ass party. Right. A sweet ass 2009 party. This is the part of the movie that you actually liked. Yeah. I think it was kind of a fun. I think maybe if he was in a better movie or a different movie. It's not.
Starting point is 00:10:03 It's not though. It's in this movie. But regardless, there's a scene where all the bullies want to beat him up and he's promised his father his grandfather he won't fight so instead he just sort of maneuvers around real quick and then they all punch each other and i thought that was quite good and they're smashing up a car cop that they're not happy about it before the fight one of them pours a drink on the floor oh yeah not even on him i feel like maybe pouring out your own drink mate you know what i think maybe the budget didn't extend to a second shirt for him or the hair they're gonna do the hair yeah they have to do the hair again they couldn't afford another 10 tubes of gel so they
Starting point is 00:10:34 were just like just pour it on the ground my favorite bit of the fight that was where he skids across the car on his head remember that i do remember that yeah great stuff anyway sparks are flying between him and chichi yes they. Yes. They're going to kiss or something. Oh, yeah, that's right, yeah. But then he has a feeling that his grandpa's going to get murdered, and he is. He's murdered, yeah. He comes down and he's like, boom, I'm from hell or whatever I am from in this version of this universe. Hell and space, that's where I'm from.
Starting point is 00:10:59 He pulls the entire house down on him. Yep. And before he dies, he goes goes find master roshi and the dragon balls also you can fight now you're and you're a gorilla you're a gorilla man should have told him he was a gorilla man yeah right that's something you should know from a very young age yeah because sometimes you're a young man and then hair starts growing in strange places the entirety of your body yeah but if you know that you're a gorilla man then you'd be prepared for that you're walking into yes so he buries him uh he doesn't seem to alert
Starting point is 00:11:25 any authorities no i would he just takes him to near the house and just buries him by himself but then later other people wonder how many other bodies he's buried chi-chi says to him i'm sorry about your grandpa or whatever but again nobody's there there's no cops i don't know i don't know what what's the protocol there'd be a bigger there should have been a bigger investigation i feel like there should have been too i agree you see his classic gi though from the yeah from the other it's pronounced key but yes he's orange key and then in going to look for master roshi uh he comes across bulma played by emmy rossum who's like are you piccolo now in the one of them does he say are you piccolo or she says i've just
Starting point is 00:12:03 written here are you piccolo so one of them asks the other if they're Piccolo. I think he says, are you Piccolo? Great stuff. Now, she, in the anime, she has blue hair, right? Yes. But I guess that didn't work in live action, so they just gave her a blue streak. Okay, right.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Like every other character in this, it seems she's horribly dubbed by herself. Yeah, right? Really noticeable. We get a few nods, actually, to the source material. We get the dragon radar, which can look for the dragon balls. Yep. I think she calls it something different.
Starting point is 00:12:28 She does. And we also get the capsule vehicles, which is a thing taken over from... Ah, right. So she throws a little thing on the ground and it turns into a little motorbike. Pretty good stuff. Anyway, they go... Not a bad effect. I mean, it's a...
Starting point is 00:12:37 As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors. Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up. Know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca. FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London.
Starting point is 00:13:06 One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. A fact that was invented 20 years ago, but still. Not bad. Not bad. They included it, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:13:23 They go to Master Roshi's house. They try not to make any noise and he knocks a giant copper ball that falls off the shelf. It doesn't make any noise, but then a pebble drops and then that makes a noise. But a giant copper ball
Starting point is 00:13:36 Yeah, I get it. rolls off a shelf. Yeah. Why doesn't he awaken to that? He's deaf at that frequency. Oh, okay. He's constantly doing that and he's gone deaf at it.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Okay, I understand. Then Chow Yun-Fat appears. He's fun. I think he's I understand. He's constantly doing that and he's just gone deaf at it. Okay, I understand. Then Chow Yun-Fat appears. He's fun. I think he's fun too. He's fun in this. They have a bit of a fight, a bit of a bloody fisticuff. He's like,
Starting point is 00:13:52 I recognize your style because I trained your grandpa even though I'm clearly 40 years younger than him. But whatever. He was a child prodigy. Yeah, I guess he was. This is also one of my favorite bits
Starting point is 00:14:02 is where he's laughing uncontrollably. He's like, ha, ha, ha, ha like ha ha ha ha ha ha my grandpa is dead that is pretty good and then there's an abrupt end to that so they decide to
Starting point is 00:14:12 walk together to find the dragon ball zh plural ah hence the name dragon ball zh that's right I get it now
Starting point is 00:14:18 so anyway they fall in a hole in the desert they do fall because they're being tricked by Yamcha does it and who's he in the
Starting point is 00:14:24 he's one of the other fighters or whatever oh great he's a he's kind of becomes less important as it goes along basically they're in the hole and yamcha's like i'll let you out if you give me money or whatever's going on i can't remember what he asks for and so when they're in the hole uh they recap the story of the dragon balls again yep cool it's good to know okay so we've forgotten it's been 30 minutes i don't think they need to do both no they as you said they already say this movie would benefit from an edit yes okay cool are you gonna do that edit yeah i'm gonna do it right now that's all i'm gonna work on nice till the day that i die you mock but somebody's doing that right now definitely i'm gonna make a watchable version of dragon ball evolution it's impossible he's redoing the hair dynamics right
Starting point is 00:15:04 now all right yeah oh it's gonna be sweet just make your own fan film it's gonna de-shine that Dragon Ball Evolution. It's impossible. He's redoing the hair dynamics right now. Oh, right, yeah. Oh, it's going to be sweet. Just make your own fan film. He's going to de-shine that dude's head. He's very shiny, isn't he? So they decide to all work together now, this new team, this team of super fighters.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah. Yamcha, Chi-Chi, Master Roshi, Shiny Man. Emmy Rossum's there. Emmy Rossum's there. Oh, no, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:15:21 They haven't seen Chi-Chi yet, but they run into her again later. Then they fight some Piccolo monsters. And they find a Dragon Ball again. They just find one. Because they're just near it? Yeah. Because a lot of them have got the radar.
Starting point is 00:15:31 They've got the Dragon Radar. A lot of them, like, when they're at Master Roshi's house, they're like, oh, there's a Dragon Ball in here. Oh, yeah, there it is. There it is. They fall in a pit and they're like, oh, there's one near this pit that we fell in. By pure coincidence. What are the chances of being you know everywhere on earth what would
Starting point is 00:15:45 you prefer that or them searching for hours in real time to find the dragon balls which is what would happen in real life don't you want a bit of it's a little bit of movie magic don't you believe in movie magic hey yeah because if they did include that i'd cut it out of my edit exactly yeah yeah yeah fair point what if in the bloody wizard of Oz, they're like, we're off to see the wizard. The wizard lives six weeks away and the movie was six weeks long. Movie magic and now that movie's a classic. Do you get it? That's a fair point, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:15 So they fight Piccolo's henchwoman. She's a shapeshifter. That comes into play later. And then they run into Ernie Hudson's Sifu Norris. Yes. Ernie Hudson did this. I forgot. He sure is, yeah. I hadn't seen this in 10 years. Ernie Hudson did this. I forgot. He sure is, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:25 I hadn't seen this in 10 years. Uh-huh. Why'd he do this? I don't know. I mean, what else is he doing? Was he riding high off Oz? Probably was. Was he in Oz?
Starting point is 00:16:33 Yeah, he's the warden. I have not seen Oz. Is that worth watching? Yes, it's good. It's a good show. Yeah. But anyway, Chi-Chi's fighting in the tournament, but she gets some of her blood taken. And with that, they clone her.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Is that how it works? Yeah. No, she clones her and makes a copy of herself or whatever. Remember? She has to fight herself. Yeah, but that's the lady. The shapeshifter lady. Yeah, that, they clone her. Is that how it works? Yeah. She clones her and makes a copy of herself or whatever. Remember? She has to fight herself. Yeah, but that's the lady. The shapeshifter lady. Yeah, it's a clone copy.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I get it. It's not a clone, is it? No, it's not. Who teaches him the Kamehameha at this point? Is it Roshi? No, yeah, it's Shion Phat. Are you familiar with that? It's very popular.
Starting point is 00:16:59 It's one of the most popular moves in Dragon Ball. It's the big fireball. It's the big fireball. It's the big old ball at somebody. Yeah, I know it. You're a big fan? I know it. I love it. It seems Hawaiian, that name. It's the big fireball. You shoot a big old ball at somebody. Yeah, I know it. You're a big fan? I know it. I love it.
Starting point is 00:17:05 It seems Hawaiian, that name. Isn't there a King Kamehameha? Yes. I reckon there bloody is. Oh, you're probably right. Yeah. Look it up, mate. I will.
Starting point is 00:17:13 So to learn the Kamehameha. Yeah. Is that how you pronounce it? It's K. The first word's K and then it's H and ha. So it's Kamehameha. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:24 King Kamehameha the great oh there you go the founder of first rule of the kingdom of Hawaii there are a lot of palm trees and Hawaiian shirts in Dragon Ball
Starting point is 00:17:31 to be fair perfect makes a lot of sense now yeah look he's trying to use his bloody powers to put out
Starting point is 00:17:36 to light all the torches he can't do it but with the help of kissing yeah see horny I told you
Starting point is 00:17:41 I told you I mocked you Macy for your beliefs man will move a mountain if he's horny so the fake you. He's horny, you're right. I told you. I mocked you, Mason, for your beliefs. Man will move a mountain if he's horny. So the fake Chichi comes in, steals a Dragon Ball. They fight for a bit. It's very reminiscent of Jet Li's The One,
Starting point is 00:17:52 where two people fight. The one person fights the version of themself. Why is that? Because, Mason, the director of this film directed Jet Li's The One with Jason Statham. Well, now I know The One. The One director for me. This guy.
Starting point is 00:18:03 This guy, that's right. His name I've already forgotten. This is where I know the one, the one director for me, this guy. This guy, that's right. His name I've already forgotten. This is where we get Goku shot, and he enters into a dream world. Oh. His grandpa's like, it's not your time. You've got to get back. Back to the future. Yes, that's right.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Shoots some bloody energy into him or punches him or whatever, and he's alive again, even though he was shot. Piccolo makes a castle out of rocks. Oh, yeah. Pretty good, isn't it? Pretty cool. Goku suits up. Why is he even
Starting point is 00:18:26 what's he need? You know what I mean? He wants to rule. But he's got so much power already. He never wants to rule this one. But why he hates it? No because because of the people
Starting point is 00:18:33 that doesn't like him. Yeah that's the thing treat them mean keep them keen. Yeah nice. That's why he likes it. Nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:40 So Goku suits up. Yeah in that famous gi. In that famous gi and he's like I'm ready to go. They also have a jar. They're going to trap Piccolo in. Like, we'll get him in this fucking jar.
Starting point is 00:18:49 It's going to be great. We'll get him big time. This is one week and he's been trapped in a jar. So Goku. He's like a firefly. So Goku approached him. He's like, it's. It's like a stick insect.
Starting point is 00:18:59 We'll lure him in there. We've replicated his alien space environment in this jar. And he's just going to leap in the jar. It's true. Poke some air holes in. Nah. Just let him die there. Yeah, nice. So Goku in this jar and he's just gonna leap in the jar poke some air holes in nah just let him die there yeah nice so goku's like it's time for you and me we've got business and he's like but didn't you know that you're a giant gorilla and he's like oh no i am yeah and i didn't think that would come into play again though i mean i kind of knew that it's prophesied that this giant gorilla will return but it turns out that the
Starting point is 00:19:21 giant gorilla is goku uh an element of the anime that they removed was that Goku originally has a tail. That would have been a big tail though, I feel. Yes, exactly. But that would make more sense as to why all the kids at school bully him. Yes. Because they'd be like, hey, monkey tail man. Why do you have a monkey tail?
Starting point is 00:19:35 And he'd be like, I don't know. My grandpa doesn't tell me nothing. And in this, they talk him out of being a monkey. They're like, you're better than being a monkey. Be a man. And he's like, I will. And he does. But in Dragon Ball
Starting point is 00:19:45 you cut off the tail and then so he doesn't have a tail to cut off so they have to talk him out of it exactly they could have cut off one of his legs
Starting point is 00:19:51 that probably would have changed him back as well but hey whatever anyway kicking the balls there's a Dragon Ball fight kick him in his big puffy butt his big red
Starting point is 00:20:01 his red angry butt so we get some fights the girls fight each other As they do In these kind of movies Goku fights Piccolo The jar doesn't work
Starting point is 00:20:10 Roshi's killed He's bigger than a jar Why did you think It was gonna work That's a good point Did they hold the jar Up to their faces And he was a long way away
Starting point is 00:20:20 And they're like Oh he's still sitting there That's fine That's absolutely fine But the thing is About these fights are Dragon Ball if nothing else
Starting point is 00:20:27 is known for it's spectacular fight sequences yeah everybody can fly everybody's flying kicking each other through mountains
Starting point is 00:20:33 summoning energies and lightning and whatever and teleporting and appearing behind each other hairs changing colour
Starting point is 00:20:39 and that's the problem with this kind of movie is because it's an origin of sorts they can't have that happen well they should they have to save that for the big finale this kind of movie is because it's an origin of sorts. They can't have that happen. Well, they should.
Starting point is 00:20:45 They have to save that for the big finale. So it only happens once, basically. But it's such a poor fight. Yeah, it is, isn't it? Anyway, that ends with him doing the Kamehameha and he shoots it. He generates the first king of Hawaii and he hurls it at Piccolo. And he just kind of flies up awkwardly into it. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:03 It's very poor. He dies. Piccolo dies. He doesn't die of flies up awkwardly into it. It's very poor. He dies. Piccolo dies. He doesn't die in the original. He comes back. He's a good man in the end. He ends up training. Well, he doesn't die in this either.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Doesn't he? No, he comes back. Post-credits sequence. You missed it, bitch. I missed it. You missed... What happens in the post-credits? He wakes...
Starting point is 00:21:20 There's a lady in a house and she's got a wet towel. Yeah. And she's got some stuff for caring and she goes to a bed and then she takes the blanket off somebody and it turns around and it's piccolo and he's in a bed why would you keep him in a bed you'd be like i'm taking this man to the zoo because he's green because he's green anyway the hospital at least yeah yeah anyway welcome to my new segment you missed the post credits bitch you're the first victim oh no that's why i'm going all over youtube with this ah they summon the dragon yeah shed long yes one wish yep instead of wishing back his grandpa
Starting point is 00:21:52 or world peace yeah or even just being like hey bring back my all the people who died in the last five days or whatever yeah like just bring back this guy i just met so he can't he comes back and he's like i'm back bitch that's right just. Just wish two people back. Yeah. Or wish for that and another thing. A turkey sandwich. Yeah. And then you get one of the things and you're happy either way. Exactly. Yeah. That's all I'm saying. Yeah 50-50 it. Bring back this guy or this guy.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Bring back this guy and this guy. Crossing fingers. Yeah. You choose. It's fine. Yeah. And it ends well I thought it ends with Goku and Chi-Chi fighting and just as they're about to strike, there is a freeze frame. Yeah. Like all great movies that end. I think all movies should end like this.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Whatever the movie is. With a freeze frame of two protagonists about to punch each other. That's right. Yeah. This is a horrible film. Charles Foster Kane in the sled, about to punch each other at the Citizen Kane. Somebody draw that. This is a horrible film.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I thought it was pretty fun. It butchers the law. It's boring. It's dubbed horribly. The hair is terrible. Old Weirbo Sunday over here just hating on anything. No, it's bad. Just because it's from the Western world, mate, doesn't mean it's bad.
Starting point is 00:22:56 No, I think it's... No, I'm kidding. It is bad. It's horrible. It's a horrible film. I can understand why fans and non-fans alike, except for you for some reason, hated this movie. Yes. Because it's quite dull.
Starting point is 00:23:06 It's dull. Also, it's pretty short. The dialogue's bad. Yep. It makes no sense. The fight scenes are no good. Again, it's a world that's just sprung up in an instant, and so nobody ever questions how we got there. Yep.
Starting point is 00:23:15 But they should. They should. Also, the choreography is terrible. Mm. Except for the car fight, I guess. So good. It's one of the best fight scenes in movie history. Thank you. What do you give it out of... How many Dragon Balls do you give it? the car fight I guess so good it's one of the best fight scenes in movie history thank you
Starting point is 00:23:25 what do you give it out of how many Dragon Balls do you give it out of seven Dragon Balls I give it seven Dragon Balls because after this I wish I was dead
Starting point is 00:23:34 because he could wish for that I get it that's right no I thought it was fine I'll give it three I'll give it three Dragon Balls nah it's a one oh wow
Starting point is 00:23:42 we should rate everything from Dragon Balls from now on I think so too yeah holy hell this is not good is there a worse anime adaptation than this um look we've seen a few recently i think speed racer is a speed race speed race is worse it's speed racer is technically better yep look i only watched dragon ball because you asked me to watch it and if you'd asked me to watch speed Racer I would have come here and said actually I have to tell you I didn't finish it. I didn't watch it and I won't. And you also didn't finish it. No I
Starting point is 00:24:10 really didn't. Yeah so that's worse. Even though there are people who would defend Speed Racer. Oh for sure. I think you'd be high pressed to find anybody who would defend this horrible film. Anyway. Yeah. We do Caravan of Garbage here every Tuesday but there's videos also on Sunday and Thursday.
