Dragon Ball is the most famous anime of all time. This 2009 live action adaptation couldn't even spell it right. That alone should have been a red flag. Dragonball: Evolution is objectively the worst film we've ever reviewed. Guest Garret Ohringer returns to discuss this dumpster fire.

Tim Burton's adaptation of the beloved Roald Dahl classic caught Johnny Depp at the height of his "weirdo role" popularity. It made plenty of money but proved polarizing. How does it hold up after twenty years? First time guest Brian Anderson is here to discuss Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I had a podcast in Africa. Our first "worst Best Picture winner." Director Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa was big winner and commercial hit in 1985. It featured Meryl Streep and Robert Redford very much in their primes. So why, forty years later, is it often ranked as one of the "worst" Best Picture winners of all time?
