Fu for Thought

Bonus Episode - Sifu Alex Richter (aka The Kung Fu Genius)

It's bonus episode time! I got to chat with Sifu Alex Richter (aka The Kung Fu Genius) about Wing Tsun, Bruce Lee, Shaw Brothers, the Venoms and much more.

Alex is a wealth of knowledge, especially on Wing Tsun and Bruce Lee, having taught Wing Tsun for decades now. Not only is he knowledgeable, he knows how to tell one hell of a story!

If you're wondering why I'm typing "Wing Tsun" and not "Wing Chun," listen to the episode!

You can check out Alex's Wing Chun school at www.citywt.com

You can watch episodes of his podcast at The Kung Fu Genius (audio version available on all good podcast platforms)

The Prodigal Son

YEAH BUDDY! This week Devan, Cyrus and I get our Wing Chun on and discuss 1981's The Prodigal Son. We chat about Sammo Hung's quirky comedy, fight choreography and much more...

Later on, we get HEAVILY into listener questions and things go off the rails. Porn, awkward moments, our favorite tv shows... It's all here.

Enjoy!

Fistful of Vengeance

Strap yourself in because this episode is a wild ride. We have plenty of tangents, a heavy dose of smut and since Cyrus is back, we have an update on his bathroom habits.

Of course, we do discuss Netflix's Fistful of Vengeance in detail. Do we like it? Hate it?

Afterwards, we answer plenty of listener questions, including some very thought provoking "F***, Marry, Kill" scenarios.

Enjoy!

13 Assassins

It's just me and Devan this week as we get knee deep in all things samurai. I ask "What's the difference between seppuku and hara-kiri?", Devan questions that character being around at the end and then we answer a bunch listener questions, including "Howe long do you want to live?"

Kung Fu Killer

This week, we delve back into Donnie Yen's filmography with Kung Fu Killer aka Kung Fu Jungle. We discuss whether the film's simplicity is a good or bad thing, whether the fight choreography is better than Flash Point and we get asked the question, "What is Donnie Yen's best movie?"

Later on, we get a bit saucy with our listener questions, Devan reveals her perfect Bond casting and we ask, "Does Lethal Weapon need a reboot?"

Enjoy!

Fist of Legend

This week, we get into what is arguably Jet Li's best movie, Fist of Legend. We discuss our favourite fight scenes, Jet Li's flat-top fade and how the film possibly homages Bruce Lee.

Cyrus kicks off the episode with the all important question, "What happened to Cameron Diaz?" and later, we get into the ins and outs of online dating. We also suggest what could be a pretty interesting 100th episode.

We close out with our usual listener questions and a ton of tangents. Enjoy!

Eastern Condors

Happy holidays! This week we go to war with Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and a whole host of Hong Kong cinema legends as we discuss 1987's Eastern Condors. 

We briefly review Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Matrix Resurrections (spoiler free!) and then later answer listener questions on wrestling, hip hop, our favorite movie quotes and much, MUCH more.

Enjoy!

Hard Target

After a one week hiatus, we're back! This week we discuss John Woo's first big Hollywood movie, Hard Target.

We ask, "Is Jean-Claude Van Damme's mullet really that bad?", Devan blasphemes and reveals she doesn't like John Woo shootouts all that much and Cyrus is officially wearing underwear.

As always, we answer listener questions a little later in the episode. Fun times!

Shanghai Noon

Howdy partner! Saddle up because this week we're discussing the Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson buddy movie, Shanghai Noon.

We ask "Is it better than Rush Hour?" and propose that this is the only film that suggests Jackie Chan has sex.
I ask Cyrus how much money he'd need to show his butthole on Only Fans, Devan reveals her love for Train to Busan and we all answer listener questions about moments in our lives we'd change and our turn ons/turn offs when it comes to the opposite sex.

It's a high energy episode so strap yourself in!

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Podcast listeners, assemble! This week, we delve into our first (and only) Marvel movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

We talk about how Shang-Chi compares to other Marvel movies, Devan reveals her love for Tony Leung and we ask, "How do you feel about Trevor?"

Later, we answer a smattering of listener questions and discuss our collective mental health.

Enjoy!
