An Eye for an Eye

The cheif export of Chuck Norris is pain. Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. As we continue to Celebrate the Ultimate Apex Predator (get bent sharks!), I sit down to review 1981's An Eye for an Eye. This film features a stacked cast of B action stars, unique fight choreography for Chuck, but manages to miss the sauce when it comes to the execution. It should be a neck-snapping good time, but sadly it is not. Instagram: @kungfupizzaparty Letterboxd: KungFuPizzaPrty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StudioTwoOneNine

The History of the Chuck Norris Fact

Chuck Norris just pissed your pants! Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. It is Chuck Norris Week: A Celebration of the Ultimate Apex Predator. To celebrate our recently deceased hero, I sat down to learn about the history of the Chuck Norris Fact. How and when did these get started? Who remembers Vin Diesel Facts? I also dive into the book Chuck Norris: Longer and Harder by Ian Spectre that compiles 1500 of these facts which sheds some light on why some facts became more mainstream than others. It's a dive into comedy and what makes something funny in today's review. Instagram: @kungfupizzaparty Letterboxd: KungFuPizzaPrty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StudioTwoOneNine

Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere

"I have come to the spiritual home of the Manosphere, Miami." Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's episode, my wife Claire joins us once more for a review of the Netflix documentary Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere. In the review, we breakdown the basics of what the Manosphere teaches, who some of the main players that are profiled in the documentary, and why I feel a documentary like this is important for us in the martial art space.

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.
