This week we head back to the mystical land of the orient and discover that, as long suspected, the people of Asia have the highest blood pressure of anyone in the world. We also discover that high school girls are more terrifying than the reanimated corpse of a World War II soldier capable of pulling a man's arm off and caving his skull in with it. We kick things off with a discussion of what may be the bloodiest movie (in gallons) to ever bloody our screens in the newly released South Korean blood bomb, Project Wolf Hunting (2022). Then we suffer a full blown nervous breakdown while watching Koji Yakusho track down his emotionally abusive demon spawn in Tetsuya Nakashima's nihilism bomb, World of Kanako (2019).

Why can't we escape the early aughts?! BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO. This week we mix things up with one of the sleaziest, most confounding teen dramas of the past two decades with the sleaztastic, Elisha Cuthbert produced, incest infused The Quiet (2005). Then we bring "The Demon" back to the show with a heaping helping of dad-ly Rob Van Dam and a side of Big Dave Bautista slappy knife fighting his way through David DeFalco's The Wrong Side of Town.

It's episode 450! Which means it's time to talk about honor. It's time to talk about brotherhood. It's time to talk about Heroes. Bloodshed. It's time to talk about cool sunglasses. Trenchcoats. The plausability of smoking while also holding a toothpick in one's mouth. Dealing with trauma by way of the food triangle. Whether or not it's a good idea to wear all white to a precarious criminal exchange. And most importantly, the concept of rice being the embodiment of one's father AND mother all at once. It's time to talk about John Woo's bro-therly duology, A Better Tomorrow I (1986) and A Better Tomorrow II (1987). Happy 450!

Bo's a family man. Bo's an action man. Bo's an adrenaline infused man. Bo knows acting. Bo knows good old fashioned values. Bo knows when someone's stepped over the line. Bo knows it's not cool to take pics of his boy while he practices soccer with the other boys. Bo knows violence. Bo knows retribution. This week we talk about the trials and tribulations of Bo (Cole Hauser) and his quest to take the power back from the slimy, no good, double dealin' Paps and their dirty, dirty ways in the Mel Gibson infused Paparazzi (2004). We also talk about a movie called Kick of Death (1997) which features a suspicious lack of Death Kickin' and a worrying amount of surf guitar.
