EP65 - Dragon Ball: Jeez
Manage episode 476236867 series 3367079
In an age where terrible live-action remakes of beloved classics have overtaken modern media, take a step back with us as we explore one of the first (and worst) examples: Dragon Ball: Evolution.
Even people who know nothing about anime have heard of Dragon Ball and the legendary Goku. So, how would you try to make this classic anime more “approachable” to a wider audience? Well… how about we start by putting Goku in high school. Maybe give him a very Spider-Man-esque bully showdown? Hmm... More focus on on teen romance and not the imminent world-ending peril? Wait, I got it! My pièce de résistance… let's make Goku white!
Talking Points: Joe Chaplin and the Coworker Tales; Sexy Shakespeare; Love Is Blindz; The FUPAck
Intro/Outro Music: Down With The King/Orbit by Good Kid
