Episode 249 - Gymkata (1985)

Gymnastics-based martial arts mixes with Cold War-era espionage as we watch Kurt Thomas infiltrate a 900-year-old game of endurance in Gymkata. We're joined by Matt Singer (@mattsinger), Editor from Screen Crush, to discuss this cult classic film from the director of Enter the Dragon. Join us as we try to figure out the rules of "The Game", discuss better alternatives to this secret operation, and spend some time in the VIllage of the Crazies.
