Episode 9 - Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting

Send us Fan MailThe new episode is out! This week we are talking about our love for East Asian cinema, and we encourage y’all to join in the fun by sharing some of the films we think could bring you into the fold. What makes them special? Why do we love them so? Why might you? There are beautiful epics, ambitious animes, and action-packed (and often hilarious) martial arts extravaganzas. We share some of the history of films out of Hong Kong and Japan and how they finally got some traction in North America. We think they deserve even more attention.
