Fu for Thought

The FU-nal Episode

And here we are. 151 episodes in and we're putting the Fu for Thought podcast to bed. This has been my baby for 6 years now, and it's been an absolutely joy to watch it grow. To those listeners that have come along for the ride, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We're just three idiots talking nonsense in Cyrus' living room. The fact you gave us time and energy has meant the world to us. We hope you enjoyed what we did. I know it's been a weird ride, with even weirder tangents. But we've loved every second. Thanks for giving us a chance. With love, Shaun. Cyrus, and Devan

Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno

In this episode we tackle the first sequel in the Rurouni Kenshin series, Kyoto Inferno. And if I do say so myself, we have a great conversation about it. We ask, "Does anything actually happen in this film?", I try to explore its themes and subtext, and we discuss the fantastic action direction and the film's usage of shaky cam. Later, we tackle listener questions ands probably go on far too long about the type of pirate we'd have sex with. Yes, that's as weird as it sounds. Enjoy!

Havoc (2025)

The gang's all here as we chat about Gareth Evans' long awaited action extravaganza, HAVOC. I talk about my viewing experience and how it relates to graphic novels, we discuss the film's much talked about CGI, we hash out a few of the confusing plot devices and much, much more! Later, we answer some fantastic "Which of you is most like to...?" listener questions and Cyrus finally makes me edit an episode. Enjoy!

God of War (2017)

It's the entire crew this week as we dive into Vincent Zhao's battle-heavy God of War. I always thought Cyrus would like this one but does he? We discuss the film's not-so-fleshed out plot, the coolness of Samurai armour, tree spear thingies and Vincent Zhao's badass wife (in the film). Later, we answer listener questions. We talk about crimes we've committed, I bring up a story about how much of a d*ckhead I was when I was a teenager, and Cyrus gives us his list of red flags women can have. Enjoy!

Dirty Ho (1979)

The man...the legend...the icon...Cyrus, is back! He dives back into the Fu for Thought foray to discuss Lau Kar Leung's comedic classic, DIRTY HO. I've avoided showing this one to Devan for years because I thought the "shenanigans" would annoy her. Well, she's finally seen it. Did she love it? Hate it? On this episode, we dicuss the concept of "covert fights," we wonder "What are the 7 Agonies all about?" and Devan expresses her dislike for the "killer cowbell." Later, we answer listener questions. Including whether we'd fight our parents in their prime and if Gordon Liu is an underrated actor. Enjoy!
