A discussion, between friends, about the highs and lows of kung fu cinema. One film at a time.

    Angel Terminators

    Angel Terminators

    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!

    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

    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!

    Shaolin Intruders

    Shaolin Intruders

    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!

    Road House (2024)

    Road House (2024)

    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!

    No Retreat, No Surrender 3: Blood Brothers

    No Retreat, No Surrender 3: Blood Brothers

    This week on the podcast we sit down and try to decipher the utterly confounding plot of No Retreat, No Surrender 3. We question Loren Avedon's "Russia jacket," I gush over the legendary scaffold jump and Devan hands out another one of her legendary nicknames.
    Later, we answer listener questions and talk about heartbreaking films, newly discovered music and we write the ultimate Romcom. Enjoy!

    Tiger Cage II

    Tiger Cage II

    No Devan this week, unfortunately. But Cyrus and I sit down and discuss the ins and outs of Yuen Woo Ping's modern classic, Yuen Woo Ping's Tiger Cage II. I ask Cyrus, "Do you need a reason to have a fight scene?", Cyrus tslks about the film's hilarious (and offensive) dub track and we both agree that squibs are always better than CGI. Later on we answer listener questions and get into an important discussion about Lil Jon's "Get Low." Enjoy!
