Description: On this episode of The Nonsense Podcast, we're putting our survival instincts to the test! First up, which action star would you trust to save you from 50 bad guys? We've got picks like Taimak, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, and Michael Jai White—who's your hero? Then, FNBob poses a million-dollar (literally) question: Would you take TWO uppercuts from prime Mike Tyson for $20 million? Henvincible thinks speed is his only hope, while FNBob isn't convinced survival is even an option. This leads to a chaotic round of "Would You Rather"—Wrestling Edition, where we debate which iconic finishing moves we could actually endure. Then we dive into gaming! Henvincible shares his excitement for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, while FNBob reveals he's finally taking the plunge into Magic: The Gathering for the first time. We wrap things up with a hot take—FNBob is officially taking a break from Kendrick Lamar after almost a year of his music being played everywhere nonstop. This episode is packed with off-the-wall debates, hilarious hypotheticals, and pure nonsense! Episode Highlights:

Jack Ma is the king of ecommerce in China. Nicknamed 'Daddy Ma', the former school teacher even appeared alongside martial arts legend Jet Li in a kung fu movie. But how did a scrawny, belligerent child, who was the only person who failed to get hired at his local KFC, become the chairman and CEO of online mega-platform Alibaba? BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng explain how a crazy trip to America, where Jack had to flee from a conman, ended up introducing him to the internet, which would make him his fortune. Then they decide if they think he's good, bad, or just another billionaire.

In this episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick, Anthony, and Elise tackle the rewatchability of the 1998 action-comedy Lethal Weapon 4, the final installment in the legendary buddy-cop franchise. Early in the discussion, Nick drops a fun fact that surprises Elise—Mel Gibson, who plays the iconic Martin Riggs, is actually Australian. Elise, having never known that before, adds a fresh layer of amusement to the conversation, sparking an interesting side discussion about Gibson's career and how his international background contributed to his rise as an action star in Hollywood. The trio dives into how Lethal Weapon 4 continues the series' signature blend of high-octane action and comedy while giving Riggs and Danny Glover's character, Roger Murtaugh, even more depth as they confront aging and family responsibilities. Nick, Anthony, and Elise discuss how the chemistry between Gibson and Glover is as strong as ever, making the characters' friendship the emotional core of the film. They also highlight the standout performance of Jet Li as the villain, whose martial arts skills add a thrilling new dimension to the franchise. As the conversation progresses, the hosts examine how the film mixes lighter comedic moments with more serious themes of family, loyalty, and legacy. Elise appreciates how the movie balances explosive action with heartfelt moments, like Riggs preparing to become a father and Murtaugh facing retirement. Anthony points out that these personal stakes give Lethal Weapon 4 an added layer of rewatchability, as the characters' growth feels earned after four films. The hosts also enjoy the return of Joe Pesci's Leo Getz and Chris Rock's introduction as Detective Butters, whose comic relief keeps the movie fun. By the end of the episode, Nick, Anthony, and Elise agree that Lethal Weapon 4 is a highly rewatchable film that brings a satisfying close to the series. They praise its blend of action, humor, and heart, with Nick noting that it's the perfect conclusion for fans of the franchise. Elise's newfound knowledge of Mel Gibson's Australian roots adds a playful twist to the conversation, making this episode of The Rewatch Party a must-listen for fans of the series and newcomers alike. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122151/

Light attack, heavy attack, dodge, immobilization, and transformation... as millions of Black Myth: Wukong players fight their foes with unrestricted combos of skills and abilities, many may wonder how these eye-dazzling moves were made possible.轻击、重击、闪避、定身、变身……当数百万《黑神话：悟空》玩家使用不受限制的技能和连击动作与敌人战斗时，许多游戏玩家想知道这些令人眼花缭乱的动作是如何实现的。Considered China's first homegrown high-cost, high-volume, high-quality stand-alone title, Black Myth: Wukong is deeply invested in the usage of cutting-edge motion capture technology to incorporate real-world martial arts into the game.作为中国首款高成本、高流量、高质量的国产独立游戏，《黑神话：悟空》在尖端“动作捕捉”技术（以下简称“动捕”）的使用方面投入了大量资金，将中国现代武术融入游戏中。Through the technology, the actions of professional stuntmen dressed in customized suits with reflective points are recorded from all angles, processed into virtual data and finally presented on in-game characters.为了还原游戏角色逼真的神态、流畅的动作，游戏制作方应用了大量动作捕捉技术。专业的动捕演员在动捕室内穿着动捕服、身上贴上反光点，由多台摄像机360度拍摄录制，将演员的动作捕捉成虚拟数据，应用到虚拟模型上，然后经过精修最终呈现在游戏当中。Yin Kai, hailing from Shandong province, is among the game's motion capture crew. He undertook the majority of the action work for the game's protagonist, a monkey character based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West.在《黑神话：悟空》中，来自山东淄博的小伙殷凯承担了游戏主角“天命人”的大部分动捕工作。 "Many people have a childhood dream to become the Monkey King. As I trained in the martial art that uses a monkey-style staff, I accepted the job offer right away," Yin was quoted as saying in a feature story released by China Media Group.最初得知自己要在西游题材的游戏中扮演悟空时，殷凯特别兴奋。“很多人小时候都有一个齐天大圣的梦，我从小练武术也学过猴棍，于是一拍即合。”殷凯在接受中央广播电视总台专访时说道。Inspired by TV stars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li, the young Kong Fu enthusiast began practicing martial arts at the age of five and majored in martial arts performance at Shanghai University of Sport.说起从事动捕演员这一行业，殷凯直言是机缘巧合受成龙、李连杰等武打明星的影响。殷凯从小就特别喜欢武术，他5岁开始习武，后于上海体育大学学习武术表演。To make the combat scenes more engaging both technically and artistically, Yin integrated a variety of elements from Chinese martial arts and traditional opera.游戏中，角色的每个动作、招式都要细细打磨才能呈现，表演中为使打斗场面既激烈又充满美感，殷凯融入了很多中国武术、戏曲元素。He also used nuanced body gestures to express different facets of his characters. For instance, Yin dived into meticulous observation and emulation in order to vividly present the animality and intelligence of the game protagonist.动捕演员要用身体动作为角色赋予个性，为了塑造好相应角色的动作，殷凯还会去观察。比如表现“天命人”的猴性和灵性，殷凯就得去琢磨、模仿。"Every time we start filming a character, we will speak with the directors in advance about its personality, background, signature weapon, moves, and so on."For the motion capture crew, a perfect move on the game screen may take rounds of revision behind the scenes. "Sometimes a shoot might start at around 10 a.m. and end at 2 a.m. the next day," Yin said.殷凯介绍，动捕演员的工作更偏向幕后。他表示：“经常在完成一个角色的动作后匹配到游戏中去看效果，不合适就推翻重新定制捕捉动作方案，直到满意为止。有时一次拍摄可能是从早上10点一直到晚上2点。”Since its release on Aug 20, Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, selling over 10 million copies across all platforms within three days of release. Its developer Game Science revealed earlier that the game's peak number of concurrent players across all platforms already surpassed 3 million.自8月20日发布以来，《黑神话：悟空》便风靡游戏界，发布3天内全平台销量突破1000万套。其开发商游戏科学此前透露，全平台同时在线人数峰值已突破300万。Several prominent gaming outlets praised various aspects of the game. PC Gamer lauded its "expressive combat" while IGN reviewed it as "a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world."多家知名游戏媒体对该游戏的各个方面都给予了高度评价。外媒PC Gamer称赞其“绽放出古灵精怪的角色和富有表现力的战斗”，IGN则评价其“是一款出色的动作游戏，有精彩的战斗、刺激的Boss战和美丽的世界。”。As a participant of the game's production, Yin also shared the pride and joy following its success. "Seeing that my performance is loved by the gamers, I feel all the hard labor I put into is worthwhile," he said.对于殷凯来说，自从踏入动捕演员这一行的那一天起，苦和累就已成家常便饭，“但看到自己的表演被大家喜爱，我感觉一切都值了。”他说。motion capture technologyn.动作捕捉技术Chinese martial artsn.中国武术

Is "Hero" truly a masterpiece or just a visually stunning puzzle? Join us as we dissect the 2002 Chinese film "Hero," which was introduced to U.S. audiences with the help of Quentin Tarantino in 2004. Despite its high regard among cinephiles, we share our candid, mixed feelings about the film. Listen as we praise the exceptional cinematography and Jet Li's captivating performance while also expressing our confusion over certain aspects of the film. Our conversation delves into the challenges of connecting with "Hero's" complex narrative structure and multiple storytelling layers. We also highlight the film's visual beauty and deeper meanings, even as we navigate our struggles with its story structure and character motivations. As we share our final ratings, we ponder if "Hero" is a must-watch film, but first urge you to watch "Hero" before diving into our spoiler discussion at the end of the episode to form your own opinion on its artistic merits firsthand.Letterbox'd Synopsis:  A defense officer, Nameless, was summoned by the King of Qin regarding his success of terminating three warriors.

Can Master Wong navigate China into the 20th-century and past the obstacles of modernity, invasive western culture, and a whole host of outside threats to tradition?  Of course he can.  But even he's got to admit: he looks pretty good in a boater hat and sunglasses.  Tsui Hark's epic kung fu period action/comedy pits western powers, local corruption, modern technology, and the stubborn refusal to adapt against a ragtag group centered around a fighting school and its stoic martial arts master played by Jet Li.

In Part 2 of this episode of "Your One Black Friend," Joli and guest host Kosmic Jedi continue their exploration of parallel universes, inspired by the themes and narrative of Blake Crouch's novel "Dark Matter," now a series on Apple TV. (Part 2 of this discussion deals only with episode 1-3 of the series.) Kosmic & Joli delve into the concept of infinite realities and discuss how this idea allows for endless possibilities and outcomes, making the show's narrative both exciting and thought-provoking. How does the concept of infinite realities reshape our understanding of personal identity? How does soul memory influence intuition and decision-making? How does exploring alternate timelines affect our perception of regret? Joli and Kosmic Jedi analyze the complex themes of the show, including Eastern mysticism, physics, and psychological analysis. They appreciate how these elements are intricately woven together to create a multi-layered narrative that encourages viewers to think deeply about the nature of reality and the choices we make. The discussion also touches on character relationships, focusing on the sacrifices and decisions made by the characters, particularly in the context of gender roles and personal fulfillment. They compare the show to other media like "Rick and Morty," "Invincible," and movies such as "The One" with Jet Li and "Deja Vu" with Denzel Washington, highlighting how these works handle the concept of multiple realities. Joli and Kosmic Jedi reflect on their own lives, contemplating how different decisions could have led to different outcomes. They emphasize the importance of intuition and the belief in multiple chances or lifetimes to experience different paths, suggesting that this mindset can reduce regret and anxiety by accepting the existence of parallel realities. The conversation also explores philosophical insights, particularly the idea of letting go of regret and anxiety by recognizing that this is not the only lifetime or timeline. They discuss how adopting this perspective can lead to a more relaxed and observant approach to life, reducing the fear of missing out and the intensity of decision-making. Throughout the discussion, Joli and Kosmic Jedi express a strong appreciation for the show and its ability to spark deep, reflective conversations about life, choices, and the nature of reality. They commend the creators for their ability to address complex themes in an engaging and thought-provoking manner, making it a standout piece of media. Youroneblackfriend.com •••

Sorry about the Audio- Beef and Rum Daddy had issues :/  Following the release of The Matrix in 1999, Hollywood saw an explosion of martial arts-focused action movies. Riding that wave was Chinese actor Jet Li, who made his first American-made film debut in Lethal Weapon 4 and went on to star in Kiss of the Dragon, Romeo Must Die and this dimension-hopping cop movie. Starring as both the hero and villain - the last two variants who have absorbed the energy from their murdered counterparts - Li faces off against himself with Jason Statham, Delroy Lindo, and Carla Gugino rounding out the cast. The film also tapped into a modern rock sound with Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Godsmack, and Papa Roach. Directed by James Wong and co-written by Wong with Glen Morgan, the film was neither a box office nor critical hit. While it may be the best of the Matrix variants in this universe, in the end there can be only The One!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

It focuses on two Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detectives, Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh. The franchise consists of a series of four films released between 1987 and 1998 and a television series which aired from 2016 to 2019. The four films were directed by Richard Donner and also share many of the same core cast members, while the television series is a reboot with different actors. Although the first film was not explicitly a comedy, the later films and the television series gradually became comedic in nature.Lethal Weapon is a 1987 American buddy cop action-comedy film directed and co-produced by Richard Donner, written by Shane Black, and co-produced by Joel Silver.

For the final entry in our Cinema Shock Roulette Extravaganza (but certainly not our last Cinema Shock Roulette episode), we're headed to Hong Kong to take a deep dive into the production of Tsui Hark's seminal martial arts film, ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA. In this episode, we'll discuss not only the production of ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA, but the history of Chinese folk hero Wong Fei-hung on film, the early careers of Tsui and star Jet Li, and how this film reshaped the Hong Kong film industry, not only revitalizing the period martial arts film genre, but also spawning no less than five sequels, which in turn helped launch the career of martial arts sensation Donnie Yen. Up Next: David Fincher — Rules of the Game, a 7-part series on the career of director David Fincher. Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy. This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne, and Justin Bishop & Todd A. Davis. For episode archives, merch, show notes, and more, visit cinemashock.net
