Fu for Thought

This week we review our first ever Michael Jai White film, Blood and Bone. We start the show by talking about Downton Abbey for far too long before I rave about Kamen Rider.

Later, we ask, "What's up with Michael Jai White's pants?" and "Is Rufio allowed to say that?" before discussing Eamonn Walker's Oscar worthy performance.

As per usual, we have many tangents and answer listener questions!

Episode ONE HUNDRED, baby! We made it! This week we sit down and talk about Jackie Chan's groundbreaking film, Project A. We discuss Dick Wei, Devan suggests that maybe the plot is a little convoluted and we all admire the famous clock tower stunt.

Later on, we answer listener questions and tell stories about when our parents embarrassed us (I also tell a story about how I embarrassed my mum with karate).

Thank you to everyone that's stuck with us for a hundred episodes! Here's to a hundred more!

Love! Tragedy! Kung fu! We cover it all on this week's episode as we reveiw our first ever Zhang Yimou film.

Devan sings us a ditty and reveals her newfound love of Andy Lau, Cyrus surprises us with some sweet kimono action and I ask, "Whatever happened to Zhang Ziyi?"
We also get all fancy and discuss both the film's themes and some of its more obvious metaphors. Look at us!

Later on, we tackle listener questions and I try Kool Aid for the first time. Enjoy!

Cyrus couldn't join us this week so me and Devan jump into one of Donnie Yen's more recent films together.

We go on tangents about The A-Team and Liam Neeson, we answer listener questions and even play a little music along the way.

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays from the Fu crew! This week we jump back into Korean cinema and watch Asia's answer to Liam Neeson's Taken. Do we like the film? Do we LOVE them film? And most importantly, did we cry at the ending?

Later on we answer all manner of listener questions and I remind Cyrus just how good Ante Up is. 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.

On this week's episode, we delve into Hong Kong fantasy with Leslie Cheung, Brigitte Lin and Ronny Yu.

Devan has questions, Cyrus doesn't exactly love it and we all put our heads together to work out exactly what happens in the film

Later we get into listener questions that features advice about a vasectomy. Enjoy!

Are you ready for a moon dance? Cyrus, Devan and I strap ourselves in as we dissect this low budget actioner. We have things to say...

We question Chuck Jeffrey's Eddie Murphy impersonation, breakdown The Killer's wardrobe and Devan expresses her hatred for magic.
Is this a b movie classic or is it one to avoid? Listed and find out!

Later on we answer a boatload of listener questions. Cyrus talks about how he'd make a lion bow down to him to impress a woman, I break Cyrus and Devans' brains with a story about my ex-girlfriend and we all pledge out allegiance to Potbelly's.

Enjoy!

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!

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.
