E22 – Dragon Ball Z Part 4



With the introduction of arch-villain Frieza, Michael and Peter break down a surprisingly plot-intensive and tension-heavy block of Dragon Ball Z.

Meanwhile, Goku resets to his default game of catch-up, Michael tries to explain why Frieza was such an iconic villain for him as a child, and Peter talks Pogs.

Also included: a discussion of various collectible card games, a rare double-or-nothing bet, and a second Commando reference in a row.

E21 – Dragon Ball Z Part 3



Goku finally arrives to fight Nappa and Vegeta, and we’re treated to the first Dragon Ball Z fight that feels like it needs to last multiple episodes.

Peter and Michael theorize on why the final episodes of this block feature Namek Dragon Balls the size of Earth Dragon Balls, while Michael explains what hooked him about Dragon Ball Z in the first place, and Peter breaks down the “We’re Back 2: We’re Back We’re Back” reference for the first time (hopefully).  Also featured: a bad Moltar impression, random musing on past series we’ve watched, and a change to how we place our bets.

E20 – Dragon Ball Z Part 2



In the second batch of Dragon Ball Z episodes, Michael and Peter find themselves forced to contend with Nappa getting blown up only to be totally unharmed, time and time again.  It gets a little exhausting.

Meanwhile, Michael makes an unfortunate comparison between Nappa’s “LASER EYES!” and Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon, Peter boasts about winning seemingly every over-under bet, and both hosts discuss the chilling connection between The Secret World of Alex Mack and Capri Sun commercials from around the same time.

E19 – Dragon Ball Z Part 1



Dragon, dragon, rock the dragon, Dragon Ball Z!

Taking the first steps towards reviewing the entirety of Dragon Ball Z, we find that it’s mostly filler, but not the kind we remembered.  Meanwhile, Michael raises old gripes about Dragon Ball Z action figures, and Peter finds some of Piccolo’s tough guy talk to be poorly chosen.
