Corona and April Fool's [0:08]

They emphasize the importance of practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands and avoiding touching one's face, and maintaining social distance. The speaker also references the movie "Taejun," which features a virus outbreak caused by infected pigs, noting its eerie similarities to the current pandemic.

Angela Anaconda TV Show [5:11]

The speaker shares their experience watching the "Angela Anaconda" TV show, describing it as awful. The show revolves around Angela, who constantly finds herself in conflict with Nanette, a "teacher's pet." The speaker describes the show's animation style, which uses face-mapping technology, as cheap and creepy, particularly when applied to Angela's baby brother. They also mention an episode with a Middle-Eastern prince, highlighting the show's lack of tact and cultural sensitivity. The speaker also recalls an episode where Angela gets trapped in the boys' bathroom.

Digimon: The Movie - General Discussion [36:56]

The speakers transition to discussing "Digimon: The Movie," noting that the dub combines three separate Japanese films into one feature. They recommend watching the Filipino dub for its faithfulness to the original script and music. They also criticize the dub's soundtrack for being unfitting and dated, particularly the "Digi Rap." The speakers emphasize that the "Angela Anaconda" segment is included in every version of the movie, much to their dismay.

Digimon: The Movie - First Story [44:56]

The speaker begins a detailed review of the first part of "Digimon: The Movie." The story starts with Kari and Tai finding a Digi-Egg, from which Koromon hatches. The speaker notes the dub's attempt to tie the movie to Willis, creating continuity issues. Koromon evolves rapidly, eventually battling a giant Parrotmon. The speaker contrasts the dub's lighthearted tone with the sub's more serious portrayal of the battle. The speaker also points out the dub cuts around some of the action because it gets kinda violent.

Digimon: The Movie - Second Story (Our War Game!) [1:07:16]

The speaker discusses the second part of "Digimon: The Movie," titled "Our War Game!" They recommend watching "Summer Wars" for a similar story without Digimon. The story involves a Digimon created from internet glitches that begins wreaking havoc. Tai and Izzy struggle to connect with the other DigiDestined due to communication issues. The speaker contrasts the sub's focus on the challenges of connection with the dub's addition of humorous elements. The speaker also notes the dub's vague explanation of the Digimon's origin, compared to the sub's implication of a Y2K-related creation.

Digimon: The Movie - Third Story (Touchdown Hurricane!!) [1:50:52]

The speaker begins a detailed review of the third part of "Digimon: The Movie," titled "Digimon Adventure 02: Touchdown Hurricane!! / Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals." They emphasize that the dub version is heavily butchered, with significant plot changes and character alterations. The story involves the original DigiDestined disappearing and a new threat emerging in the form of Wendigomon/Antylamon. The speaker contrasts the sub's psychological depth and emotional weight with the dub's nonsensical plot and tone-deaf musical choices. They express strong disappointment with the dub's handling of the story, particularly its removal of the moral dilemma of potentially having to kill a Digimon partner.
