    Eli and Jenny Loved Eric Hates Dragon Ball Z

    It's been 11 years since the last episode of Eric Hates Dragon Ball Z, and we all can't help but wonder what happened to our favorite and some might say god-like hosts. So this week on our extremely awesome and popular podcast where we don't even do introductions or anything like that, we're taking a tip from a random pair of people named Eli and Jenny I guess and talking about the 'famed' podcast Eric Hates Dragon Ball Z! What was it about? What happened to the hosts? And most importantly, why did people care? We're going to find out in this weeks episode!

  15. 131

    Eric Super Hates The (Other) Future Trunks Saga (Saga in Review 4)

    Voicemails! Texts! Emails! Oh my! It's time to take a short break from Dragon Ball Super to dive into your fan questions, and it's the longest series of them yet! Let's dive into the weird, the wild, and the surprisingly mundane with John and Spencer, shall we?

  25. 121

    John and Spencer Obsess Over the Time Ring (DBS Episodes 47-49)

    Whoa, time travel? That's right! It's time for the return of a beloved character, a post apocalyptic wasteland, and needlessly picking apart plots and logic in an ill-fated attempt to digest that which is the new saga of Dragon Ball Super. Enjoy!

  26. 120

    John Didn't Even Bother Watching (DBS Episodes 42-46)

    Finally, FINALLY. It's time for a new arc of Dragon Ball Super. Get ready for some...filler? It's all filler? Yep, it's all filler. Cool. Very fun and cool. Also, I wish I had come up with the nickname "Jelly Vegeta" while we recording, because it is very good.

  27. 119

  28. 118

    Super Bonus 7 - John's Last Mailbag as a Carefree Bachelor

  29. 117

    Spencer Loves The King of the Omniverse...For Now (DBS Episodes 37-41)

  32. 114

    Spencer Attempts a Knock-Knock Joke (DBS Episodes 28-30)

    It's the beginning of something wonderful, as John and Spencer dive into a brand new Dragon Ball Super saga! There's jokes, there's tangents, there's even some genuine enjoyment with some Goku shaming sprinkled in. Universe 7 awaits!

  33. 113

    Super Bonus 6 - Eric Pays The Iron Price (DBZ Episodes 35, 152, and 194)

    Eric lost a dumb bet and now he has to face his worst fear: actually watching Dragon Ball Z for the first time. Join us for his terrible review of these fan-submitted episodes!

  34. 112

    Super Bonus 5 - The Cosplay Con Crunch Crossover (Yuri On Ice Episodes 1-4)

    MJ got us to review one of her favorite anime, Yuri On Ice! The first episode of that long journey is available free for everyone! Join us for some lovely conversation about the fundamentals of male figure skating, pork bowls, and our main man Yuri. Both of them.

  35. 111

    Eric Super Hates The Resurrection F Saga (Saga in Review 2)

    What starts as a casual conversation among friends turns into an intense battle of wills as the boys draw themselves into a contest unlike anything else previously on this podcast. Okay, so it's not THAT great, but it's pretty interesting. Give it a listen.

  36. 110

    John Finally Lets Loose (DBS Episodes 25-27)

    The end of Freiza's reign of terror concludes with an equally bad reign of terror from the podcasts hosts. This episode is garbage.

  39. 107

    Super Bonus 4 - Fallout in the Park

    We're all in the same place for the first time in over a year! So join us for a special super chill episode of us just talking about stuff in a park. Outside. Where the nature does its thing.

  40. 106

    Eric Super Hates The Battle of Gods Saga (Saga in Review 1)

    Trust us, we do review the saga...eventually. Come hang out with us as we talk about everything under the sun, including the absence of the sun. There's like 20 minutes of Dragon Ball Super talk, too. And Spencer makes a complete idiot out of himself. So that's fun.

  41. 105

    Hello, Seattle! We're Watching (Frasier Episodes 1-3)

    It's time to leave Dragon Ball Z (and Super) behind and dive into something that's going to be better for everyone. That's right, we're finally doing a podcast about Frasier.

  42. 104

    Super Bonus 2 - Spencer and John Finally Open The Old Fan Mailbag Again

    It's been a while since they've had a dedicated fan mail episode, but the boys are back to answer your questions, inflate their egos, and talk about random crap. Enjoy!

  43. 103

    John and Spencer Fondly Remember The Willy Wonka of Anime (DBS Episodes 14-18)

    With the shocking news of Toriyama's passing, John and Spencer take minute to remember the man who is basically responsible for this podcast's creation. And then it's business as usual as they talk about the last few episodes of the Beerus arc before Frieza's return begins.

  44. 102

    Spencer Becomes Shenron for a Sec (DBS Episodes 9-13)

    We're in the thick of the Battle of Gods now! The stakes are high (and well done!), but will the universe survive? Will John and Spencer's sanity?! Find out this time on this show we do!

  45. 101

    John and Spencer Question the Structural Logistics of Bulma's Weird Cruise Ship (DBS Episodes 4-8)

    You looked at the episode length and either groaned or got excited. Either way, welcome! During this five episode journey into Dragon Ball Super, we'll see how these episodes stack up against the Battle of Gods movie, and go on plenty of random tangents as well.

  46. 100

    Spencer and John Soft Launch Their New Season (DBS Episodes 1-3)

    Dragon Ball Super is finally here! Look, we could only watch the first three episodes. But we have a really good reason...we got lazy. I don't know man, blame Funimation. We're back!

  47. 99

    Super Bonus 1 - Spencer and John Get Serious and Talk About Death (Not Joking)

    Whew, boy. So, these past couple of months have been a little tough behind the scenes. We're gonna talk about it. You don't have to join us for this one, but you're more than welcome.

  48. 98

    John and Spencer Commune With Their Inner Eric (DBZ: Resurrection F)

    It's time to talk about the last movie before jumping into Dragon Ball Super! Was the original vision for Resurrection F any good? Well...no. Not really.

  49. 97

    John and Spencer Love Dragon Ball Z Again! (DBZ: Battle of Gods)

    After a long hiatus, the boys are actually watching the anime again! Join John and Spencer for a lovely discussion about the Battle of Gods movie that definitely doesn't derail immediately into a conspiracy rant about the future of AI for some reason. 

  50. 96

    Everyone Loves A Super Introduction

    John, Spencer, and Eric return with brand new lives, new opinions, and a new plan for the podcast. It's actually pretty haphazard, we'll see if any of it sticks. Welcome back everyone!
