Darn you Fox Kids!!! Will, Mike, and Sam discover what happens when an American company takes three short films from a popular Japanese property in both countries, edits them down and smashes them together, and throws it on the screen to both joy and confusion in the 2000 film Digimon: The Movie. While Will and Sam do still enjoy the film from their childhoods (Mike not so much), they still look at both the good parts and the many, many bad parts with so many plot holes by the third act it is a wonder how a coherent story was made at all. Despite a good source (even the American-dubbed version) from the anime series, the film still fails to be a good starting point for anyone remotely interested in the Digimon franchise. However, the Commit One crew is here to de-digivolve it all down and even discuss the anime itself (with Mike being dragged along) to try and make sense of this mash-up gone wrong.
