Thursday, June 11: Girls Beer Sports American Ninja Horse by FiredUp Network

In this episode, what movie could we sit through for 24hrs for $1 million dollars? UK does something nice for their fans, the World Cup is here, a horse won the Belmont and would you sell your NBA Finals tickets for big cash money.  News of the Weird, a fourth of July flyover, ninja warrior at the Olympics, people love nothing night at the ball park, a steak sauce beef stick and more! 

"Misfired Cannons" comes to a conclusion as a post Golan & Globus era Cannon limps to its final days amidst new ownership but continued, and growing, financial woes. In a blatant attempt to try to recapture some of their past glory, Cannon looked to start a new franchise that might capture the same fans as those of one of its most popular previous successful series, American Ninja. So, recruiting one of the stars of that franchise, and the director of the first installments, Cannon unleashed American Samurai. But even with the lowered expectations of a straight-to-video release, this film didn't enjoy the same financial or cult success of the American Ninja series. So, what went wrong? We discuss leading man (and another important Cannon figure) David Bradley, the onscreen debut of martial arts star Mark Dacascos, the movie's strange "love story," its similarities to American Ninja, and why its attempt to also copy the recent success of another martial arts movie, Bloodsport, may have been its downfall.

A 1990 action thriller (horror tho) film starring Mark Hamill and Michael Dudikoff. One might expect some martial arts, what with Dudikoff on board... but one might not expect him not doing that at, like, all...DISCLAIMER: Language and Spoilers!MIDNIGHT RIDEdir.

For the entire month of March, the guys at Not A Bomb are throwing it back to their old Movie Matchup format, pitting notorious box office bombs against each other in a battle for redemption. Two flops enter… only one survives. There can only be one!This week, Troy and Brad are strapping on their headbands, polishing their katana, and diving into a matchup that blends ‘80s martial‑arts mayhem with ‘90s neo‑samurai intensity. It's a clash of cultures, a duel of destinies, and—let's be honest, a celebration of that timeless cinematic art form: white‑guy karate. That's right, it's American Ninja vs. The Hunted, and the dojo has never been more chaotic.American Ninja (1985)Directed by Sam Firstenberg and starring Michael Dudikoff, Steve James, Judie Aronson, and Tadashi Yamashita, this Cannon Films classic is the apex of Reagan‑era martial‑arts absurdity. It's a movie where ninjas fall from trees like confetti, the U.S. Army apparently has no HR department, and the choreography proudly screams, “We taught this guy karate last week.” A cult favorite for anyone who believes the greatest martial art is confidence.The Hunted (1995)Directed by J.F. Lawton and starring Christopher Lambert, John Lone, Joan Chen, and Yoshio Harada, this sleek, bloody thriller drops a confused American businessman into a centuries‑old samurai feud. Lambert, armed with nothing but bewilderment and the fighting instincts of a man who once took a weekend aikido class. It's stylish, atmospheric, and surprisingly intense, proving that even in the ‘90s, Hollywood couldn't resist the allure of “What if a regular white guy accidentally became part of a ninja war?”The MatchupThis isn't just a duel—it's a full‑blown martial‑arts heavyweight fight. Cannon‑era ninja chaos vs. moody samurai noir. Dudikoff's “I guess I'm a ninja now” energy vs. Lambert's “I definitely did not sign up for this” panic. Troy and Brad break down which film kicks harder, which one stumbles, and which earns the coveted weekly crown. Expect shurikens, sword fights, questionable accents, and enough white‑guy karate to power a VHS dojo.We Want to Hear From YouGot a cinematic flop you want us to tackle?

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel takes on American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt, the third entry in the cult-favorite action franchise — and this one was a Doug hall pass pick, so you know it's going to get wild.With a new lead, over-the-top villains, and peak late-'80s action energy, American Ninja 3 leans all the way into ridiculous fun, questionable logic, and nonstop martial arts mayhem.We dig into everything, including:

The American Ninja 1985 Review is finally here, and this one might be the ultimate test of childhood nostalgia versus cold, hard reality. Back in the day, ninja movies were everything. You'd watch them with your mates, then head outside, convinced you could take on an entire army with nothing but a headband and a questionable understanding of martial arts. But does American Ninja actually hold up, or is it another victim of the "we loved it as kids… but it's actually rubbish" category?This week, Whitey, Damo, and Gow step into the dojo to break down one of the most iconic and unintentionally hilarious action films of the 80s. From the opening scenes featuring hacky sacks and butterfly knives to the absolutely chaotic convoy ambush, the boys waste no time calling out just how ridiculous this movie really is. And somehow, it only gets better, or worse, depending on how you look at it, from there.We're introduced to Joe, an amnesiac army private who just happens to possess elite ninja skills. No explanation, no logic, just vibes. Throw him into the Philippines, add a dodgy arms deal, a kidnapped colonel's daughter, and a bunch of ninjas who appear out of nowhere, and you've got yourself a movie that barely makes sense… but is impossible to look away from.Gow, our resident martial arts expert and self-proclaimed dojo graduate, brings his unique perspective to the table, breaking down the "authenticity" of the ninja action, or lack thereof. Meanwhile, Damo questions everything from the acting to the storyline, and especially that unforgettable line about "witness testimony" confirming ninja involvement. Yes, that actually happens.Whitey leads the charge as always, trying to figure out where this movie sits in the grand scheme of action cinema. Is it so bad it's good? Or just plain bad? The answer might surprise you… Or it might not.There's plenty of laughs along the way, especially as the boys revisit scenes they hadn't seen since the early 90s. From over-the-top performances to questionable editing choices and a plot that only reveals itself in the final minutes, American Ninja is a masterclass in accidental comedy.But here's the thing, despite all its flaws, there's still something undeniably fun about it. Maybe it's the nostalgia, maybe it's the sheer absurdity, or maybe it's just the fact that movies like this don't get made anymore.So grab your black belt, sharpen your imaginary ninja sword, and join us as we dive headfirst into one of the most bizarre action films of the 80s.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONDid American Ninja hold up… or should it have stayed in the video shop archives? Is this the ultimate "so bad it's good” movie?  Would you have loved this if you saw it for the first time as a kid?  Where does this rank among 80s action classics?  And most importantly… do ninjas improve every movie? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

"American soldier, obviously very skilled in martial arts, single-handedly takes on mercenaries in the Philippines." - IMDBThe hilariously short blurb for this film tells you everything you need to know. Joe is a Ninja, he's exceptionally good... that's about it. Also, it's possible this film inspired the Power Rangers.https://linktr.ee/iseebadmoviesMusic by ZakharValaha from Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

Bright bright James Dean daylight katana blade fight, slash flip throw all in plain sight, machine gun bursts, explosions galore, man oh man, do I want more. "Listen to what I'm saying. With your skills, we could make some easy money."

On this VERY SPECIAL video episode or you could listen to the audio if you are not on Spotify. Phillip had the honor of interviewing Sam Firstenberg and it was a fun and informative conversation. He has directed such movies as Revenge of the Ninja, Ninja III: The Domination, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, American Ninja, American Ninja 2, and Avenging Force. Most importantly, and one of the reasons he is on, is to promote the release next year of the new to blu-ray Riverbend (1989) that he also directed. You can pre-order it here: https://shop.reelblack.com/products/riverbend-blu-ray-pre-order-limited-editionHe tells a great story about how him and Michael Dudikoff saved a girl from drowning, and a bunch of behind the scenes stories and how he got into the business. Come back next week when Phillip will be joined once again by Rob Papp from The Cinemigo's Podcast for a discussion about Night of the Juggler (1980). Thanks for listening and/or watching.

Could this be the last Cannon film we ever do???

After last week's break, THE BIG 4-0 returns to wish a happy belated birthday to John Candy's (first) bid to carve out a career as the slapsticky dad in the bumbling vacation comedy SUMMER RENTAL. We also wish an early happy BIG 4-0 to Martin Scorsese's one-night-tapped-in-SoHo surrealist dramady, AFTER HOURS. And, of course, this week's birthday boy is none other than The Koff (as we like to call him) in the omnipresent video-store-shelf slice of 1980s action cheese, AMERICAN NINJA. Ron and Peter also touch on a bevy of other films, including recent releases SINNERS, WEAPONS, NOBDY 2, HAPPY GILMORE 2, and THE NAKED GUN (reboot/legacy sequel), as well as a handful of older films including COUPLES RETREAT, REVENGE, and THE CHASE.

Zo finds himself in the Philippines where he's there to enjoy the scenery, snack on adobo with lumpia and visit some Army buddies. While there he gets wind of a tale regarding a soldier from a nearby base that nobody really gets along with because he keeps to himself. At the same time it's said that this guy has some amazing hand to hand combat skills and moves like no one has ever seen. He seems to effortlessly dodge bullets and strikes with incredible speed and efficiency. From the way others talked about this unusual soldier you'd think that they were talking about a shinobi, but who ever heard of an American Ninja?  Episode Segments00:06:57 Opening Credits for American Ninja starring: Michael Dudikoff, Steve James, and Judie Aronson00:17:40 Favorite Parts of the 1985 film: American Ninja00:58:21 Trivia from the Martial Arts Action Movie American Ninja01:06:47 Critics' Thoughts on Sam Firstenberg's American Ninja Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions kicks off in a week – we expect as always to get a lot of information! I'm not covering in person this year, but I'll bring you any big announcements. And we'll do a wrap up In the News the following week. -- XX UVA with something new.. technology that allows an artificial pancreas system to adapt to users' changing needs – and lets users adjust the settings – beyond what's commercially available now. They're calling this “adaptive biobehavioral control,” the technology helps fine-tune UVA's artificial pancreas every two weeks, giving users a virtual tool to test different ways to manage their blood sugar using their own data. In a six-month study, participants using the technology spent more time in a healthy blood-sugar range, rising from 72% to 77%, and saw a small but meaningful drop in their average blood-sugar levels. While automated insulin delivery systems help users better manage Type 1 diabetes, adaptive biobehavioral control technology is designed to improve blood-sugar control during the day, when fluctuations occur more frequently due to meals and physical activity. This new technology uses “digital twins,” computer models simulating how a person's body processes sugar. The models help the artificial pancreas keep up with changes in the user's body and habits and give users a way to interact with the system. For example, users can try different settings, like how much insulin is released overnight, using the simulation before applying them in real life. https://news.virginia.edu/content/uvas-artificial-pancreas-uses-digital-twin-tech-improve-diabetes-control XX Five years later after COVID-19 his the US, a new study shows that there is a connection with type 1 diabetes triggers. This is  new research from the University of Utah published in the journal ImmunoInformatics.   With T1D in particular, a COVID infection appears to trigger the immune system of certain people who have a prior susceptibility to the condition to subsequently develop T1D symptoms, the new study suggests.   University of Utah researchers hypothesize that COVID is leading to T1D diagnoses in a roundabout way as the virus presents the body with “molecular mimics,” or fragments of COVID proteins that bear an uncanny resemblance to those beta cell antigens.   When a person is infected with COVID, the immune system not only attacks fragments of the viral protein but also attacks fragments of beta cell antigens because they look so similar and get mistaken for each other, explains lead study author Julio Facelli, Ph.D., a distinguished professor of biomedical informatics at University of Utah Health in Salt Lake City. That means that in people who are already predisposed to T1D, there may be a simultaneous autoimmune reaction involving the destruction of healthy beta cells, spurring the onset of type 1 diabetes. Both 2022 and 2024 research indicates that there has been a significant increase in new onset type 1 diabetes following the start of the COVID pandemic. It's difficult to estimate just how many cases may have been triggered by COVID because numerous viruses, including rotavirus, measles, mumps, and rubella, can spark an autoimmune response that activates T1D, according to the 2022 research published in Immunology & Cell Biology.   Again, it's important to note that researchers don't believe a COVID infection is causing diabetes, but rather, triggering it, in the same way certain environmental factors are believed to trigger immune-mediated conditions like Crohn's and psoriasis. “   https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/how-covid-might-trigger-t1d XX Insulet announces the Omnipod® 5 App for iPhone is now compatible with the Dexcom G7. Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President, Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer. “With the addition of the Dexcom G7 sensor to the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone, our U.S. customers have more choice with fewer devices to keep track of, making it easier than ever to manage their diabetes.” The Omnipod 5 App with Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 compatibility is now available for download on the Apple App Store. Switching to a new Omnipod 5 device will require you to go through First Time Setup again. Insulin delivery history from previous Pods will be lost when you switch to your new device and adaptivity will start over. Use this guide and video to help transfer your settings: Omnipod also announced a collaboration with Marvel.. on an original comic to celebrate representation for the diabetes community and empower people with diabetes to unleash their inner hero. “Dyasonic: Sound of Strength” features Omnya, who was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, struggles with her management, and is prescribed an insulin pump. Omnya learns that when her glucose levels are in range she can take on anything, and anyone, and transforms into the comic's hero, Dyasonic! The hope is that readers will be able to see themselves overcoming these same challenges and break mental barriers to adopting technology with the potential for improved outcomes and quality of life.

This week we're getting real stupid with it and looking at Cannon Film's ultimate ninja festival, American Ninja from 1985. This one hits all the high notes for the 80's. Michael Dudikoff makes his starring debut playing an American soldier with a mysterious past who must fight evil ninjas to stop an arms dealer from selling missiles to communists in Central America or maybe it's Angola. Who can say? We also break down the dubious political conditions of The Philippines and the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos that made so many cheesy low budget action movies, the intense, apocalyptic conditions of the late Cold War, and the wild abandon with which Cannon made jingoistic action movies for the American market.This absolutely ridiculous movie is one of the dumbest movies we've watched so far and we cannot resist its stupid allure. It's got just about everything a twelve year old boy could want in an action movie. They're ninjas!

Ninja vanish! POOF! Don't just watch Action, B Action!!! 

Mike and Christian travel to a remote Caribbean island, where Army Ranger Joe Armstrong investigates the disappearance of several marines. This leads them to The Lion, a super-criminal who has kidnapped a local scientist and mass-produced an army of mutant Ninja warriors.

Low budget action coming from Mexico in the early 90's and based on an American action film from the 80's... well this just couldn't get any better... or could it? Will and Matt are ready to discuss this phenomenally low budget "lost film" that features everything you could want from a movie (if you want movie logic that makes little to no sense.) DISCLAIMER: Language and Spoilers!!EL NINJA MEXICANOdir.
