Manga Mavericks @ Movies is a new spinoff of Manga Mavericks hosted and edited by LumRanmaYasha, who visits cinemas at least once a week to watch movies and has been eager to find an outlet to talk about what he’s seen. It will likely be an irregularly released podcast until the summer, but you can expect it to come out within a week of the hottest new comic and nerdy movie releases!

This week Colton joins us to discuss the latest One Piece theatrical feature, Film: Gold. We talk about our theater experiences, what we enjoyed about the film and what we thought could've have been improved on, as well as where the film would rank among the other One Piece films. Also LumRanmaYasha and Colton get into an argument about why the movie should have been canon or not, and whether that even matters in the context of the franchise.
