Et tu, Godzilla?

Friday Funny. I'd watch it.

#BillsMafia. 😒 I see my kids not enjoying football as much as I do sometimes, and think "What a shame," but then I realize how much my emotional wellbeing gets CRATERED by this team annually and I wonder if perhaps these kids understand something I don't.

Bills Mafia on our way to hopefully (🤞) see win number 8!

Generic ninja character, or social commentary on Japan's attempts to blend its traditional culture with modern day conveniences? Let's unveil the secrets of Ninja Murasaki in today's Thursday Thread 🧵

Wednesday Work Want to make instant ramen in twenty extra steps? Why not try making this "instant" Ramen Bucket from Dragon Ball Super with Anime with Alvin (on the Binging with Babish Channel)? Themed movie/show food nights with friends is something I'd love to do www.youtube.com/watch?v=16K8...

Are Zenkai Boosts Dragon Ball's version of Erotic Asphyxiation? Was David Carradine trying to zenkai? Now you've thought it; you can't un-think it An ALL NEW Final Forum podcast episode! We also talk about the Quran, Xi Wangmu (Queen Mother of the West) and The 10,000 Hour Rule shorturl.at/hX7My

Manga Monday. When a woman dares to drive and be an autonomous person... (please note: sarcasm/humor/tongue-in-cheek, in case it's not obvious)

What a time to be alive…

Friday Fun

Tatsuya Nagamine, director of Dragon Ball Super episodes 77-131, Dragon Ball Super: Broly, One Piece, animation for Power Puff Girls, and more, passed away at the age of 53. No cause of death has been reported at this time.

Toriyama was a master at examining the psychology of his main villains via their underlings. Let's look at that a little deeper with Muscle Tower and General White in today's Thursday Thread 🧵

The New York Times Reporting if it were in the Dragon Ball Universe: "Zarbon Alleges in Possible E-Mails that Frieza Knew of Saiyan Alleged Crimes. Allegedly."

Day 14: Our last day in Japan 😭 Ramen at Ichiran traditional-style ramen shop, & went up Tokyo Skytree to get a feel for how sprawling & impressive Tokyo is as a city. We also had a Dragon Ball merch sighting! This was the trip of a lifetime & I loved sharing & reliving it these past several weeks.

12...40.

This is the best thing I’ve seen I’m days. Of course, as a Buffalo Bills fan, I saw nothing but misery and garbage all day yesterday…but this still is AWESOME and made my day.

One of my favorite things about looking into Dragon Ball filler, and seeing if there's anything interesting, is that I wind up coming across WILD real-life stories that, whether they had ANY influence on Dragon Ball, remain cool things I can tell people about when occasion arises...

I run emotional during Bills games but never quit on them so I hope it sounds like the indictment of the state of the franchise it is when I say I quit before halftime today and went from being HOT to get a ticket for the upcoming game in Houston to wondering if I even want to deal with the hassle.

Bananas or apples?

Halloween is entirely taken down and the home feels a little sadder. But the 12 foot skeleton’s Christmas clothes arrive tomorrow.

Screenshot Saturday. Zarbon could totally be a punk frog.

What Up Wednesday? Day 13 in Japan: Seibuen Park outside Tokyo for the Ultraman & Godzilla rides. A SMALL theme park mostly enjoyed as a waterpark but has a quaint charm, especially in its main street entrance area where you can see Kamishibai stories (I saw Momotaro) & other fun street performances

An all-new Final Forum Podcast sees us talking about the dynamic duo of Zarbon and Dodoria. We talk about WWE, punk, a possible reference to a Studio Ghibli voice actor, and delve in Daivd Bowie as well. Check it out NOW wherever you get your podcasts! finalforumpodcast.podbean.com/e/zarbon-and...

Thinking of setting up a Discord server to talk about the Podcast, upcoming stuff, maybe stream casual movie/episode watchalongs, but unsure of interest... Would anyone wanna have a Final Forum Dragon Ball hangout on Discord or is everyone good with the current level of me/us that y'all get?

Manga Monday. Especially after a weekend of partying for Halloween.

New #promosky We are a podcast that talks about Dragon Ball, Asian history, and culture/folklore. 90% of the time. We also have been known to foray into Godzilla Ultraman Tokusatsu Halo D&D Video games Manga Anime Horror Jackie Chan Journey to the West Gamera Superheroes Stephen King MCU

Some Halloween pics

Life hacks to getting candy from me: Show up after 9. “Oh you’re probably my last one tonight. Have a handful.” Has been said 8 times. Flattery. “Oh my GOD. You look Sooo good! How’d you do that?!?” Gets you a handful.

From our Dragon Ball Family to yours, Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

🎃31 Days of Anthology Horror Movies🎃 💀Day 30: Creepshow (1982)💀 The perfect marriage of Romero, King, and Savini. Of style and substance. Of humor and horror. Of camp and art. Every entry is great and the talent on both sides of the camera is firing on all cylinders. ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #SpookySeason #Halloween

🎃31 Days of Anthology Horror Movies🎃 💀Day 29: Kwaidan (1964)💀 A haunting, beautiful masterpiece; I believe The Woman of the Snow influenced the Dragon Ball episode Outrageous Octagon and a reading of the story on a future episode of the podcast is in order. Thoughts? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌓 #spookyseason #halloween

What Up Wednesday? Day 12 in Japan, we stayed in Asakusa, had some good food (fluffy, jiggly pancakes!) made rings by hand, and went to Tokyo Night & Light: a lighting display at the Tokyo Metropolitan building where they do free a Gundam Display, a Godzilla display, and a Pac-Man display, and more

Bekinney claps back! #1 will surprise you! You won't believe! [>insert other clickbait phrasing here<]! finalforumpodcast.podbean.com/e/dragon-bal...

🎃31 Days of Anthology Horror Movies🎃 💀Day 28: Tales from the Crypt (1972)💀 A bit different from the version we've all come to know but it's still got a mix of humor, horror, and ironic twists of fate. The dog story is burned into my brain from childhood. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #SpookySeason #Halloween

I love the drama of extra innings World Series baseball, but 16.5 innings and 1:15 AM is apparently my cutoff. I’m calling it tonight.

Manga Monday With Halloween in just a few days, Devilman is ready for his spotlight

🎃31 Days of Anthology Horror Movies🎃 💀Day 27: V/H/S (2012)💀 A still-running series, probably because the original is the right level of great. No VHS movie is 100% perfect, but each one has at least one banger worth the "price" of admission. VHS Halloween rules, too.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #spookyseason #halloween

🎃31 Days of Anthology Horror Movies🎃 💀Day 26: Necronomicon (1993)💀 Got off on the numbering by accident but back on with latex, monsters, and Jeffrey Combs, not to mention Shusuke Kaneko (of Godzilla and Gamera films) directing. What more could you want? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #spookyseason #halloween

I love it when a plan comes together.

I ain’t show up to a Halloween party empty handed

🎃31 Days of Anthology Horror Movies🎃 💀Day 24: Three…Extremes (2004)💀 Another one I had assumed things about (namely that it was a Hostel-style gore fest) then watched and was proven wrong. It’s intense, but really well executed. Chan-Wook Park rules. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #spookyseason #halloween

🎃31 Days of Anthology Horror Movies🎃 💀Day 23: Tales from the Hood (1995)💀 I would see this for rent and think "What a deplorably cheap way to cash-in on black people." Then I watched it. It's awesome and its thematic messaging is done well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sequels are decent(ish) too #spookyseason #halloween

Friday Funny.

The math seems to check out.

Is there more to Dragon Ball's filler than meets the eye? Let's zero-in on one particular episode to see in Today's Thursday Thread 🧵
