Fu for Thought fuforthought

Put your kids to bed early because this one's for the grown folks! In this episode, Cyrus and I review the legendary CAT III sleaze-fest, SEX AND ZEN. We discuss which part of movie we think Devan would hate the most, criticize sloppy wedding kissers, delve into the ins and out of flute-centric shenanigans and ask, "Did this film really need a Martial Arts Director?"
Later we answer listener questions, including synonyms for saucy parts, which parts of our lives we'd re-do and whether the film would be awkward to watch together.
Basically, we get filthy, lewd and x-rated. Enjoy!

This week on the podcast I treat Devan to a shenanigan-less Yuen Woo Ping film with LEGEND OF THE A FIGHTER (1982). You'll be surprised by who likes this one and who's pretty indifferent to it.
We discuss the structure of the film and how it defies the norms of the kung fu genre, we question Yasuaki Kurata's character's coughing, I get bamboozled over there being two Eagle Claw styles in the film and Devan may have a blossoming love for Phillip Ko Fei.
Later, we get into some bonkers listener questions including one about fighting a four-armed celebrity, Cyrus tries to pick out some lame superheroes and we debate which Power Rangers Zord was the best. Enjoy!

Those Girls with Guns are back! And so is Cyrus! This week we review the action heavy cop thriller, ANGEL TERMINATORS.
Devan talks anout enjoying female-centric fight scenes, we all get baffled by how characters are related to one another and I express my chagrin at an under-used Dick Wei.
Later we whiz through listener questions as an attempt to keep the episode short and we wrap things up with an argument about my Italian hand gestures. Mamma mia!

No Cyrus this week, but Devan and I jump feet first into discussing CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. We recall how we thought the film was more complicated than it is, we gush over the incredible fight choreography and ask, "Is the flashback jarring?"
We also take a swing at the film's themes, including heroicism versus villainy, the petulence of Jen and the overall focus on love and romance.
Later, we answer listener questions, have a surprise cameo from long-time listener, Ramma, and Devan sings us a ditty. Enjoy!

On this weeks episode of the podcast we return to both Shaw Brothers and Shaolin to unravel the murder mystery of SHAOLIN INTRUDERS. We ask Devan whether she's changed her mind on Shaolin films, Cyrus surprises us all and, as always, I gush over what I think is an unheralded classic.
With all its weapon fights, does Devan absolutely love this one? Later, I give the other two some solid "Would you rather?" questions and we chat about weird dreams (I take it to a dark place!). Enjoy!

This week on the podcast we review the utterly bonkers (but highly enjoyable) ROAD HOUSE remake. We ask Devan to rate Conor McGregor's cheeks, discover some Easter Eggs and do our best (or worst) "DALTON!" yells.
Later, we answer listener questions and discuss our run ins with bouncers and the oldest/newest films we'd put o our "Top 250 films of all time" list. Enjoy!
