Fu for Thought

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum

It's our Halloween episode! This week we set the martial arts aside and go full horror mode with the Korean found footage film, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum.

Devan introduces Cyrus to "Spooky Scary Skeletons" (which he hates), I talk about a recent film that made me cry and change my stance on Parasite and we all ask, "What exactly happened in the asylum?" We also answer the age old question, "Can ping pong balls be scary."

Of course, as always. we answer listener questions too. Enjoy!

BONUS - Accident Man 2: Hitman’s Holiday

Devan didn't want to leave you all without her opinions on The Seventh Curse so she has a few brief things to go over (including where me and Cyrus were wrong). Later, we jump into a short review of Accident Man 2: Hitman's Holiday.

As well as these two discussions, we discuss the racial implications of American History X and 12 Years a Slave and Devan answers some listener questions!

Enjoy!

Quick note: There is some audio crackling early on. I apologize. I have no idea what caused it but it seems to go away.

The Seventh Curse

We are Devan-less this week but Cyrus and I hold the fort down pretty well (I think) as we discuss 1986's insane horror/action hybrid, The Seventh Curse.

We ask. "What happened to Jessica Biel?", talk about curses and firmly state that you should never ask "Why?" when it comes to this movie. 

Later on, we ask some pretty taxing listener questions. We bring up Robert De Niro, our questionable opinions and I talk about why I want to be She-Hulk's sidekick. 

Enjoy!

Mr. Vampire

It's SPOOOOOKY season so here is the first of our supernatural episodes! Will Cyrus and Devan enjoy the hijinks of Mr. Vampire?

I tell my co-hosts just how great Moon Lee is, Devan asks whether a ghost can be a succubus and Cyrus reveals that he actually laughed out loud in this one!

Later, we answer listener questions that involve World of Warcraft, Death Metal and Only Fans. Enjoy!

Crippled Avengers

It's Shawtember, baby! This week heading back to the land of Chang Cheh and the Venom Mob as we talking 1978's Crippled Avengers.

Listen as we try desperately to sidestep the political incorrectness of Chiang Sheng's character's ailment. We ask "What do those rings on those swords do?" and Devan reveals that she doesn't care for the Venoms' empty handed fight scenes. Pure blasphemy.

Later, we get into listener questions. You get to hear about how I'd slap Kevin Smith and Cyrus tries to mime a sex act on an audio podcast.

The City of Violence

Well ladies and gents, this episode is certainly interesting. Let's just say a certain someone has very strong opinions on this film. Do they like it? Hate it? Give it a listen to find out! We actually have three very different attitudes towards The City of Violence.

As well as the movie, Devan and I discuss our visit to the dentist, we try and convince Cyrus that the new Rings of Power show is amazing and we, of course, answer a boat load of listener questions.

Enjoy!

Police Story III aka Supercop

We're back on the Chan train this week as discuss the Jackie Chan film Quentin Tarantino's loves above all, Supercop.

Devan asks "What is a Supercop?", I use the word "skirmish" and Cyrus reveals a deep dark secret about his underwear situation.
As always, we answer listener questions and basically have a grad old time!

Chocolate

We're down to two this week as me and Devan once again dip our toes into Thai cinema. Join us as we ask, "Is this film respectful to Austism?" and question whether the film loses something by not having the Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee footage.

It's definitely a more subdued episode but we have a really good chat about the film. We also answer some listener questions and discuss how Devan is getting ever closer to being a "producer."

Enjoy!

The One

This episode, we tackle Jet Li's homage to Nu Metal, The One. There's a LOT to talk about when it comes to this film and we try to address it all. To Jason Statham's American accent and hairline to the science behind future guns to Carla Gugino's "mouse shoe."

Later on we answer listener questions and Cyrus explains why he'd want a masked Luchador as a roommate.

Enjoy!

Monkey Kung Fu

In this week's episode, Cyrus, Devan and I not only discuss the 1979 shapes classic, Monkey Kung Fu (NOT Mad Monkey Kung Fu), but I ask them the very philosophical question, "Do you actually like kung fu movies?" After 84 episodes, I want to know whether they'd actually consider themselves a fan of the genre. I also ask whether they truly understand the magic of an old school fight scene. We get deep!

Later on, we answer listener questions that include a Tom Cruise discussion, some butt talk and the perils of getting old. Enjoy!
