Fu for Thought

This week we have on guests for the first time! Steph and Joey from Art School Dropouts join us do discuss Jet Li's wirefu classic. We talk all things wire work, I reveal my newfound opinions on coffee, Joey tells us how he and Steph became best friends (it's a great story) and, later in the episode, we answer listener questions! Enjoy! You can find Art School Dropouts at www.artschooldropouts.com

It's our 50th episode! Huzzah! This week, we revisit Bruce Lee's filmography. We discuss the man himself and then things get very tangent-y as we chat about the science of twerking and polyamory. We'd like to take some time out to thank every one of our listeners. We truly appreciate you!

Sadly, this week's podcast isn't a FLAWLESS VICTORY as we do suffer from some technical issues. We keep trucking though as we talk about the this year's hottest video game-to-movie movie. We chat about our limits when it comes to blood, guts and gore, Kung Lao's ability to psychically talk to his hat and that awkward Liu Kang bicycle kick. Later, we answer listener questions and Cyrus kicks off th...

This week I introduce Cyrus and Devan to the legendary Hwang Jang Lee. We discuss the logistics of using chopsticks in a fight, the differences between the subbed and dubbed version and how dodging isn't aesthetically pleasing in kung fu movies. We also chat about whether we'd want to talk to animals, what combat sport we would like to watch and whether we'd reveal Spider-Man's secret identity. En...

Radical, dudes! This week we discuss the early 90's kid's movie, 3 Ninjas.

After the movie discussion, we answer listener questions and I come up with some sticky scenarios for us to chat about.

This week we discuss Sammo Hung and Yuen Woo Ping's classic collaboration. We also chat briefly about the Snyder Cut of Justice League, Cyrus' cooking adventures and later we answer listener questions, including "Just what is a mayonnaise face?" Enjoy!

This week we discuss Jet Li's only Shaw Brothers movie and the last in his early Shaolin trilogy. We also chat about Cyrus' new video game addiction, Shaun's opinions on American citizenship and Devan goes all "granny mode" and talks about pillows and blankets for ten minutes. Later on we deliver our usual listener and "Would you rather?" questions and we still don't know how to sign off.

This week we discuss Yuen Woo Ping and Donnie Yen's modern classic. Cynthia Khan gains a new fan in Devan, Cyrus talks us through an embarrassing experience with an ultrasound and Shaun pulls out the "Would you rather?" questions later in the episode. Enjoy!

This week we discuss Sammo Hung's first ode to Wing Chun, Warriors Two. We talk about Casanova Wong's famous kick and Devan tells us how she feels about Dean Shek. We also reveal who our favorite Ninja Turtles are and Cyrus tells us about a little known company called Amazon.

This week we take a break from the classics and talk about what's known as The Room of martial arts movies. There are ninjas, bikers, ninja bikers...and orphans. We also briefly discuss Tenet, our internet search histories and a couple of bad dates we've been on. It's a fun one!

This week we discuss Jackie Chan's favourite Jackie Chan movie, 1985's Police Story. Later in the episode we chat about fighting kangaroos (again), Devan reveals how she and Shaun met and, of course, we talk a bit about Cobra Kai.

NINJA MAGIC! Devan, Cyrus and I watched Chang Cheh's bloody classic this week. We discuss the movie, chat a bit about Wonder Woman 84 and later, Devan and Cyrus answer my "Would you rather...?" questions. It's a fun ol' time.

It's bonus episode time! This week we treat Devan to her first Studio Ghibli movie. Will this one win her over? Later we chat childhood cartoons, Christmas music and reminisce about sleeping bags and duvet covers.

This week we dive headfirst into Bruceploitation with the semi-sequel to Bruce Lee's original Game of Death. Spoiler alert: Devan has a LOT to say. We also discuss how little we understand about the Star Wars universe, black Batman and memorable holiday moments.

We return to the Shaw Brothers catalog this week with an all star classic. I briefly talk about my number one kung fu movie of 2020, I try to explain Cat III movies to Devan and Cyrus and we all discuss how well we think we'd do in the Big Brother house. Enjoy!

It's Michelle Yeoh time! This episode we watch the first film in the In the Line of Duty series, I talk about how Loren Avedon disrespected me and we invent our own porn star names (get ready for Devan's!). Enjoy!

This week is our spooooooky Halloween episode! We take a break from martial arts and delve into the world of Japanese zombies. We also discuss our zombie apocalypse weapon choices, ponder what it takes to be a sea captain, and introduce our wonderful new sound board. Enjoy!

This episode, Cyrus recommended Jet Li and Jackie Chan's only team up movie! It may have been great years ago, but is it STILL good? Later in the episode we discuss pro wrestling and the annoying differences between Americans and the British. Which includes Cyrus' blasphemy towards beans on toast.

Cyrus is back in person! We discuss all things The Karate Kid (which Devan had not seen before) and then later we talk video games, cover songs and Bond themes. Strap yourself in!

This week we discuss one of the greatest "shapes" movies of all time, Shaun and Devan duet the Fresh Prince theme song and we chat about big life decisions. Deep stuff. But fear not, we also ask the question, "What if Yo-Yo Ma married Michelle Yeoh and took her name?"

This week we open with how we'd do on Discovery Channel's Naked and Afraid, Devan gives us her opinion on Scott Adkins' Avengement and then we discuss the absolute insanity that is The King of the Kickboxers. 

This week we dip back into Bruce Lee's filmography and discuss 70's henchmen, what will happen if Devan dislikes Spirited Away and "hip hop handshakes". Enjoy!

We were plagued with technical issues this week and so I'm sorry if things sound a little odd at times (audio dips, for example). This episode we discuss Lau Kar Leung's Chinese versus Japanese classic. I ask "Exactly how do sais work?" and Devan wonders how many movies Bruce Lee used nunchucks in. And yes, I realize I forgot The Big Boss.

This week we dip into Mark Dacascos' filmography. Not surprisingly, we spend a LOT of time on Brittany Murphy's performance.

This week we delve into Japanese martial arts cinema with the first Rurouni Kenshin movie. We also discuss Netflix's The Old Guard and our individual martial arts experiences.
