Episode Notes Grant and Paige give their (gushing) review of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, and how it gives them pretty much everything they wanted from a Dragon Ball movie. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

The Gohan and Rory fund is still open and we'll match any funds you donate to abortion related charities. If you don't know if it'll apply, feel free to ask and we'll probably say yes.

Episode Notes In our finale, we look back on all of Dragon Ball and Gilmore Girls and try to make sense of what happened in the last three years. We also open up the mailbag to read listener emails as a loophole way give ourselves complements (and answer a few questions). Thank you to all of our fans for listening, and bonus brownie points to peopl…

Episode Notes We finally got to the last content episode of Gilmore Ball Z, and look, at this point, Rory is out, Cheelai is in. This is a Cheelai the thirsty alien stan account now. If Rory Gilmore had half the drive Cheelai had, she'd have taken over not just this podcast and our hearts, but the world. Support Gilmore Ball Z by donating to their …

Episode Notes Resurrection F is too silly and not silly enough, and Grant watches the worst episode of A Year in the Life yet. Yeah, it's the one with the musical.

Episode Notes We go on a lengthy tangent about Luke's economic situation to avoid talking about A Year in the Life, Battle of God's fulfills Vegeta's long promised potential (in the form of a bingo dance), and we meet the mysterious Mr. Kim (and it's a huge letdown). Gilmore Soul (thanks to DouglAsshat for making a theme song for our final season):…

Episode Notes For the first episode of our final season, we watched a Dragon Ball OVA that wasn't released outside of Japan (Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return) and a Gilmore Girls revival that we wish had never been released (A Year in the Life: Winter). Paige wants to know more about Vegeta's brother who showed up out of nowhere and Grant wants …

Episode Notes We watched Dirty Dancing and Grant's still not convinced anything good happened in the 80s. Kelly Bishop's barely in it, Patrick Swayze is ancient, the movie isn't sure what it's saying and Baby wasn't even in a corner!

Episode Notes In a feat of endurance, Grant and Paige watched the second and third Broly movies, the most infamous Dragon Ball films, and realized they...still aren't as bad as Super Android 13.

In the first episode of our definitely real podcast, we watch an episode of Sailor Moon and the 80s detective show Moonlighting to try to find some common ground.

Episode Notes Mike Perna from Innroads Ministries joined us to watch Gilmore Girl's Keiko Agena in the Fox crime drama Prodigal Son, but if we're all honest with ourselves, we mostly wanted to see Michael Sheen play a serial killer.

Episode Notes Kid Buu (and Goku's character development) have been destroyed, Rory graduated and was unleashed on the world, that must mean we finished season 7. So it's time for us to stop, catch our breaths, and talk about the end of the original runs of Gilmore Girls and Dragon Ball Z. We also give updates on the Gohan and Rory fund and give a r…

Episode Notes We finally reached the ends of the original runs for Dragon Ball Z Kai and Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls miraculously manages to nail the landing and give us one last big Stars Hollow to-do. Meanwhile, Dragon Ball sacrifices all of Goku's redeemable qualities for...a lead in to Dragon Ball GT...everyone's least favorite series...which …

Episode Notes Dragon Ball has finished off its plot, but it's time for the Z-Fighters to party and for Goku to watch some eggs hatch. Meanwhile, Rory is graduating from Yale and Logan decides to propose in classic Logan form--at the worst time possible.

Episode Notes Kate Sanchez from the But Why Tho podcast network joined us for our final standard guest episode. We talk about Goku's questionable good guy status, Logan's questionable proposal, and white people's questionable approach to karaoke.

Episode Notes Sorry, Bad Santa fans, Grant and Paige were a little less than jolly watching this dark Christmas comedy. Look, there's only so many times Santa can pee on himself before we ask why we're watching this movie. Content warning: This movie includes an attempted suicide, child abuse, and depression, and we talk about those in this episode…

Episode Notes Mr. Satan snaps and it saves the world, but uh, are we sure this many people chanting "Satan" is a good thing? Also, we get what could have been a fantastic Paris plot, but unfortunately it happened on Gilmore Girls, so we're more focused on Rory's stupid choices.

Episode Notes In what might have been the most arduous watch of a Dragon Ball movie to date, we finished Wrath of the Dragon--a film that wasn't sure if it wanted to be a Dragon Quest movie or a Trunks story. While Goku becomes more vestigial than ever, Gohan fights disembodied pants. No. Really. That happens. Content warning: This movie had a pret…

Episode Notes Look, we've been asking Jessica and Connor to guest host for years. They're some of our favorite people and we were delighted that they finally said yes. So now, in this final season, we brought them in to talk about a Stars Hollow Baby Shower, the Gilmore Girls plot that could have been, and why Buu's like a sticky hand toy. Find Jes…

Episode Notes After 7 seasons, Paige learns to love Dragon Ball for what it is: A show that is only capable of delivering character growth through inner monologue, and Grant tries to decide if Gilmore Girls did a great thing by giving him Emily and Lorelei bonding, or a terrible thing by undoing it in the next scene.

Episode Notes In a New Year's Edition of Gilmore Ball Z, we look at what happens after you date Rory Gilmore and leave Stars Hollow. We watched episodes of Supernatural (Dean), This is Us (Jess), and The Resident (Logan), to determine the most important question: Who got hotter?

Goku is on his Path to Power in the Dragon Ball movie that recaps and retells everything that happened before the Saiyans came along. Paige isn't sure if Goku had a monkey tail or a monkey's paw when a movie finally gives her "less fighting, more character stuff" and she might want the fighting back. This year, it might be a weird Thansgiving, but …

If you've been waiting for Paige to truly appreciate the emotional depth of Dragon Ball, your week's finally come. We're not even being sarcastic. It was really good. Meanwhile, Grant takes a moment to make it very clear that, at least this week, Rory Gilmore did nothing wrong. Support Gilmore Ball Z by donating to their Tip Jar: https://tips.pinec…

Episode Notes Rachel Gatlin from the Dueling Genre podcast network is back, and as always, that means the episode is going to be juicy.

Aaand there goes Gohan. Well. That was fun. Meanwhile, it's parents day and that's causing a lot of drama that definitely doesn't just exist because the writers couldn't think of any believable conflict for this episode.

Christopher does something right and Gohan finally does SOMETHING.

Lizza from the To Die For Podcast and Just Ducky burlesque joined us to explore what happened to Best Boy Dave Rygalski after California (it's not looking great). Please note that like all our episodes, this is full of spoilers. Unlike our other episodes, it's about a movie that's only been out for a year and was actually good. Proceed with caution…

Rory is sexting in place of building actual intimacy and Gilmore Girls doesn't know how texts work, so Paige has to build their plot for them. Meanwhile, Gotenks is still pretty chill for someone who just lost everyone he loves.

Gilmore Ball Z's bratty little sister (who's actually older than either of us, but, technicality) All Caps Kyrie visited to talk about face punches, wasted potential, and screaming so loud you rip time and space.

Pigs fly. Paige likes a Dragon Ball Bonus Movie. Dragon Ball decided to put in Hitler--not like, a Hitler-type character, actual died in WWII Hitler--as a character. Returning guest host Nick Daniels picked a very weird time to come back to Gilmore Ball Z. Nick's Twitch (Wed and Fri 7-10pm CST): https://www.twitch.tv/lord_nanielsAstillian on Spotif…

Rory's not sure what to do with a rocket, Luke's not sure what to do with a car in his diner, and Gotenks knows exactly what he should do with ghosts but has no idea how to handle communication.

Melissa McCarthy escaped any possibility of being typecast of Sookie St. James by stealing 9 puppies. Grant talks about Crazy Ex Girlfriend for longer than either of us expected, and decide not to talk about how badly Chris O'Dowd's unnecessary cop character aged.

After (what felt like) 10,000 years, it's finally time to recap season 6 by discussing our favorite (and least favorite) moments and characters, and give an update for the Gohan and Rory Fund (that's already way out of date by the time this episode goes live).

Despite big Buu developments and the wackiest hijinks the Pallidinos could throw at us, Grant and Paige still struggle to find anything to say about episodes of Dragon Ball and Gilmore Girls that couldn't find their pacing.Oleh gilmoreballz
