The things we do for this podcast! This week we watch the 1994 videogame adaptation, Double Dragon.
We ask "Why is a 30 year old playing an 18 year old?" as well as "Why is Scott Wolf in this film at all?"
Devan gets angry, we all get confused about a particular character (Abobo) and we question the film's depiction of 2007 technoogy.
As always we answer listener questions and Devan reveals how terrified she is of AI.
This one was quite a ride. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

In this week's episode, Devan, Cyrus and I right some wrongs and watch Yuen Biao's modern classic. We discuss the infamous stunt doubles, Cyrus admits that Cynthia Rothrock could take him in the fight and we posit that maybe this film would be better without Corey Yuen on screen.
Later we discuss all manner of listener questions but we tackle the toughest one we've ever had: "What makes a Christmas film a Christmas film?"
Cyrus also ponders what he'd do if Devan and I approached him about some bedroom shenanigans. Things get wild.
