So, if you don’t know, I have a podcast. The Fu for Thought podcast. Every two weeks I have my wife and best friend watch a kung fu film and then we discuss it on the episode. They think most of them are shite but what do they know?
Anyway, my best friend is Cyrus. Cyrus loves his anonymity. He doesn’t have social media and doesn’t take photos. We’ll recently we created a Patreon. One of uploads on Patreon will be a Connect 4 tournament between Cyrus and my wife. Long story short, this is the outfit Cyrus chose to wear in the video. Legend. He played the whole thing dressed like that.
Hey there everyone. I know my Tumblr is mostly all about martial arts cinema but the other day I got to be on the Disc-Connected YouTube channel and chat about underrated horror movies.
If you fancy listening to me embarrass myself by saying that the The Nun is good, please check out the video…
Tomorrow night, I treat Devan and Cyrus to their first viewing of DragonsForever. We’ll be recording on Saturday and the podcast should be available on Sunday (June 7th).
I’m a bit nervous about this one since they both hated Wheels on Meals. And so did I, kind of.
If you have any questions for the episode (movie related or not), feel free to send them my way. Anonymously if you don’t want your Tumblr name mentioned.
If you want our back catalog (twenty four episodes), just search for “Fu for Thought” on your favorite podcast platform. You know, Apple, Spotify etc.
I’m pleased to announce that our next podcast movie will, in fact, be…
Dragons Forever (1988)
This isn’t the easiest movie to find unless you’re willing to shell out for the recent Blu Ray release, buuuut you might, maybe, possibly can find it on Daily Motion in two parts.
The podcast should be available on Sunday, June 7th.
If you have any questions for me, Devan and Cyrus, shoot me a DM.
If anyone has questions for this week’s podcast episode (Clan of the White Lotus), I just wanted to let you know that we might be recording on Friday. So, if you can, DM them to me before then.
Those of you that do ask a question get free access to my Only Fans where I pose naked save for a variety of kung fu DVD’s covering my dick and balls. Either that or you can have a shoutout on the podcast. I know which one I’d choose.
If you want to watch the film prior to the episode, it’s free on Prime Video. Here’s the link.
Since we’ve done a few modern era films lately (NinjaScroll,Mortal Kombat,Ip Man 4andHard Boiled), we’re going old school for our next one.
Next episode we’ll be tackling…
Clan of the White Lotus (1980)
It’s got everything you need: Gordon Liu, Kara Hui, Lo Lieh as Pai Mei (who isn’t really Pai Mei but kind of is) and, on top of that, it’s directed and choreographed by Lau Kar Leung.
For those that want to watch it, it’s currently free on Amazon Prime Video. I’m not sure if it’s dubbed or subbed though.
The episode will be uploaded on Sunday, May 24th. DM me any questions, queries, thoughts, critiques, poems, soliloquies, speeches, riddles, grievances or suggestions you might have!
Coming this Sunday (like your mum)…possibly next Monday…is the podcast’s first foray into the Heroic Bloodshed genre. We’ll each be sitting down and watching what is considered to be John Woo’s greatest movie, Hard Boiled.
Devan and Cyrus have never seen it. Will they appreciate the batshit shootouts? Will they enjoy Woo’s jazz soundtrack? Will they recognize Mad Dog from Five Deadly Venoms? The answer to that last question is definitely no. The barely recognize Donnie Yen.
If you have questions for us, send me a message and we’ll read them out!
If you want to get your hands on it, it’s on Amazon Prime and other streaming platforms for around $15. The Blu Ray also came out today (April 21st) but due to COVID, it seems Amazon isn’t shipping it as quickly as they normally would.
AfterIp Man 4, the episode list is as so…
Hard Boiled
Clan of the White Lotus
Dragons Forever
Rurouni Kenshin
This is subject to change as I’m not sure I can get copies of all these films to Cyrus (we’re social distancing and all that).
Any questions for me and the others, please hit up my Asks or feel free to DM me on Instagram. Whatever you fancy, really.
As always, you can find all our episodes by searching for Fu for Thought on all podcast episode platforms (Apple, Google, Spotify etc.).
So, if you like to listen to my podcast, give it a watch. We’re watching it tonight and recording tomorrow (Satirday). Depending how productive I feel, I may get the episode up on Saturday.
Excited for this one. Am I ready to relive a French Raiden?
While COVID-19 is being a dickhead across the world, we’ll still be recording an episode this week. If Cyrus is comfortable heading our way, we’ll record a Mortal Kombat episode. If Cyrus isn’t down to hang then me and Devan will record an episode on another film. Not sure what film yet.
Question, queries, comments, suggestions? DM them via Tumblr or Instagram. Or, if you’re old school, email [email protected].
This week we’re switching things up a little. We’re setting aside Shaw Brothers, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung and going for something a little different. Here’s a clue…
That’s right, this week’s episode is on the definitive 80’s classic…
The Karate Kid!
To add to the excitement, this is Devan’s first time watching the film. So, if she doesn’t like it, you get to hear me divorce her.
It’s free to watch on Netflix so give it a watch. If you do, you’ll be the best around. If you don’t, I’ll swept your leg or something.
DM me questions for the episode if you want. Or not.
If you want to watch the entire movie, you can do so very, very easily (*ahem* YouTube).
We chat about the movie, our favourite fight scenes, we ask the question, “Is Fight Club a trust classic?” and I reveal my dislike for Alison Brie’s bland face.
For Halloween I want to do a kung fu/horror. I’m just not entirely sure which one to do. Someone on IG suggested Encounters of the Spooky Kind but that may be a little too “out there” for my co-hosts. Then again, it could be a laugh.
Does anyone else have an kung fu horror movie suggestions?
A new episode of the Fu for Thought podcast is now available.
This week we discuss 1990’s The King of Kickboxers, a hilarious film with shitty acting, amazing one liners and a chimpanzee that steals passports. We also discuss how we think we’d do on Naked and Afraid and if, given the time and equipment, whether we could choreograph a fight scene. It’s a fun one.
Next week’s (September 6th’s) podcast movie will be a 90’s gem. Expect overacting, the guy that invented Tae Bo…and some tits probably.
We’re discussing this classic…
Please don’t worry. This movie may be cheesy and hilarious but it genuinely features amazing fight scenes. I promise. If you don’t like at least one scrap let me know. I’ll send you flowers or something.
What’s more, it’s free on Amazon Prime Video. So watch it and laugh along with us.
Also, listen to last week’s episode! We talk about Wayof the Dragon.
It’s that time again. I’ve just uploaded our brand new episode on Rurouni Kenshin: Origins. I was a hundred percent sure Cyrus and Devan would love this move. Was I right? We also discuss our martial arts experiences and whether we could take Charlize Theron in a fight.
Click the link below to access the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify etc.
I’m happy to announce that our The Guyver 2 episode will definitely be recorded this Saturday (June 27th) and uploaded the day after. Thanks everyone for being so patient.
If you have any questions for me and my co-hosts, you know how it goes. Shoot me a DM.
Remember, we’re FU FOR THOUGHT on all good podcast platforms!
