Back again to cover the DBZ movies, Don and Jesse have a lot to say about the villians, plots, recurring themes and overall quality of The Tree of Might, Lord Slug and Cooler's Revenge! Throughout the episode, the guys diliberate, discuss and disagree on several key topics such as Gohan's new pet dragon, which of the three movies is the best and the worst, where if at all do the movies fit into continuity, and which versions of the various dubs do the material justice! How will Donovan react to seeing the 4th DBZ movie for the first time? How much does Jesse dislike the rock music used in the Funimation dubs? How many minutes are wasted in needless padding?
