Ninja Gaiden

Ninja Gaiden

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's episode, we are headed back to the arcade, this time with a dive into the Ninja Gaiden franchise. Joining me for this talk, by request, is TJ Blackwell of Systematic Geekology; a long time fan of the Ninja Gaiden series. We discuss the game's legacy of being extremely difficult, how Ninja Gaiden connects to the Dead or Alive franchise, and how awesome it would be if Ryu showed up in Smash Bros.

Vanishing Point (1997)

"If I wanna be with you I gotta live." Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Usually, in each episode I deliver "high-flying action" but today it's "high-speed action" with 1997's Vanishing Point. In celebration of Keith David receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I sit down to review the made for TV remake that he stars alongside Viggo Mortensen and Jason Priestly. It's a film about a man who just wants to get back to his wife, while being hunted down by every police force in the West and the FBI. Vanishing Point asks the very big question, "why do bad things happen to good people?" while providing a satisfying answer alongside endless car chases and explosions.

Fighting through Mobile Fighting Games

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, I'm sitting down to review four mobile games; one that claims to be a fighting game but has no fighting elements in it, two that don't allow you to imput specific attacks but one does that better than the other, and one pure fighting game. It's a lot to cover but it is no where near as negative as you may assume. Instagram: @kungfupizzaparty Letterboxd: KungFuPizzaPrty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StudioTwoOneNine

Coming Soon: Paramount, Disney, and Fox are Changing the Game

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party, and today is a special Coming Soon edition of the show; a more news oriented episode that typically focuses on movie news and developments. However, today I'm looking at the major shifts that are coming in the Streaming landscape. Paramount Skydance is on the hunt for Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney is doing away with the Hulu app, and Fox is getting in the game with an attempt to buy Roku. Along with weighing in on these changes, I also give my take on what I think Amazon, Apple, Universal, and Netflix should do in response, and ultimately, what we, the consumer, should do next.

Ninja Assassin

"Are you kidding me? That's the word you're afraid to say? Ninja." Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's review, I sit down to discuss Ninja Assassin starring Rain. Ninja Assassin is often remembered as an unoriginal ninja flick, but is there more that this movie has to offer? The answer is a definite yes. While going over the cast, crew, and story of the flick, I also cover the deeper topics of this film like abuse, surrendering to authority, and breaking free.
