This week we get all high brow as we talk about Wong Kar Wai's art house homage to martial arts. We discuss a ton of things, including the possibility of the film being too pretentious, Ip Man being a bit of a dick and who the title of The Grandmaster actually refers to.
Later we answer listener questions and chat about ASMR, being a lifeguard and biopics.
Enjoy!

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 the episode with some toilet troubles.
