Otaku 5-0 Audio Commentary: Dragonball Evolution

Aloha everybody!

As promised, I am proud to present to you the 2nd Otaku 5-0 audio commentary, featuring a film whose best moments (in the words of Executive Producer Mr. A) were the opening and closing credits.

But first, a little backstory...

After having such a good time recording our first audio commentary (which you can find here), I had always intended to continue the process, and during our last hiatus we originally planned to record an audio commentary for The Rocketeer (I even got a copy of the movie on DVD via Netflix.) But, for some reason, we never got had the chance to sit down and record it. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed.

Once we had begun our 3rd season, I then decided to set aside a specific time each month (the 3rd Thursday, which makes this commentary a week late) in which we will record a fan-made commentary to our favorite (or in this case, not-so-favorite films.)

Now, you may be wondering why we decided to record a commentary for one of the worst films of the 2009 movie season. The answer lies in a little gem of a television show named Mystery Science Theater 3000. In that show, the characters are forced to watch (and rip to shreds) bad movies transmitted to their derelict space station. And by bad... we mean BAD!

So, if they can do it, why can't we? All we needed was to select a film whose deficiencies would live up to the style of the show. After some discussion, we settled on Dragonball Evolution (and the rest, as they say, is history.)

It is in that spirit that we offer you this commentary. Consider it an homage to one of the funniest, most underrated shows that has ever aired on television. I hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had recording it.

Mahalo,
~Totoro (Executive Producer)
