The choice of a topic for our show this week — the upcoming Dragon Ball Z movie set to debut in March 2013 — was probably going to be somewhat obvious, but combine our own darkest wishes for the movie with your own moderately-insane ideas, and you have a cornucopia of interesting discussion material!

One point we completely neglected to get into was the question about the canonicity of the new movie. Each time a new bit of material comes out, the flood gates open with fandom collectively asking if they are supposed to accept it as always having existed as part of the “official” story despite being shoehorned in so many years later. Or is that not what you are asking at all? Regardless of the meaning behind your question, I wrote up a lengthy piece about it back when Episode of Bardock was the new animated hotness. Every single point is still valid, swapping out that feature for the upcoming movie. Give it a gander, and when you are done, ask yourself if you still even care about cannons.
