What a great episode. I love Fims & 40s because I think there’s as much to learn from bad movies as there is from great ones.
This movie is great in its bombastic presentation. But I agree with what @ybbaaabby said early in the commentary, “this movie is bad.”
It displays the worst tendencies of a director to pander. Imagine this same movie, this same plot, made 50, 60, 70 years ago. No crazy special effects. Just a cast and two veteran leads trying to emulate each other's acting style.
All that said this thing is something to behold; it’s batshit insane.
Despite being anime, DBZ seems like it'd be extremely Dan's shit. I mean, he loves MGS and pro wrestling.
I forgot just how much bonkers there is in the series.
Also: I wonder if they're watching slightly different versions. The bluray version has the western movie trailer style voiceover for the recaps and previews. Jeff mentioned that the recaps and previews in the version he was watching are voiceovers by the characters.
