For the first time, Casual Misfit Radio is bringing on a guest for the week. And we're proud to have friend of the show Jesse Torres on board to talk about something near and dear to his and Kyle's heart: Dragon Ball Z. An article written by Gita Jackson over at Kotaku explored Dragon Ball Z and the Black Experience, and it was a piece that resonated with Kyle so much that he had to dedicate an entire episode to it. This week, Kyle and guest Jesse talk about what Dragon Ball Z--and anime and eastern storytelling in general--has taught them and how it has formed them as artists and informed their experience as black men. They also dive into what it means to say yes to yourself, how integral community is in art, and how Grave of the Fireflies is still a powerful, relevant, tear-jerking anime. All of this comes ahead of the new Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie, which harkens back to the show's roots.
