This episode, we revisit Corey Yuen and one of his most popular examples of the "Girls with Guns" sub genre. We ask, "Is the princess dead?", Cyrus asks "Is the motorcyclist dead?" and we all ask "Is Yuen Wah dead?" Lots of wondering whether people are dead, this episode. We also ponder what happened to the baby, I explain Chekhov's Gun and two out of three of us didn't like Sammo Hung in this one. Later we answer a boatload of listener questions, including a brain busting Hulk Hogan based conundrum. Enjoy!

The fellas are on our own for this episode and when the cat's away, the mice will play! We dive head first into Corey Yuen's vibrant videogame adaptation and ask "Can Jaime Pressly do the splits?"

Later, we rate some "old ladies of Hollywood" and Cyrus gerts let off the leash to discuss Dragon Ball Z. It's a fun one. Enjoy!

I give Cyrus a break from martial arts this week and we watch the controversial Japanese classic, BATTLE ROYALE.  We discuss exactly how we'd survive a Battle Royale scenario, we question the film's weird dream sequences and we ask, "Who has the best weapon?" Later, we go nuts with the listener questions and try to answer how many children we could take in a fight. We also tackle the amount of money someone could pay us for us to poop our pants. It's a wild one.

No Cyrus this week, I'm afraid. But Devan puts on her big girl pants and braves the world of low budget, old school kung fu flicks! How does she feel about John Liu?

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?"

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.

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.

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

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!
