On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we jump into live action anime with two movies that speak to our trepidation and hope when it comes to adaptations – "Dragonball Evolution" and "Speed Racer." Join us as we applaud a good Ernie Hudson pop up, appreciate filmmakers who bring a passion and respect for the source material, and pay tribute to the coolest car in anime – the Mach 5 (and 6).
