Product placement for Pizza Hut, Corona, and most-notably, the nitrous oxide brand NOS! A great high-speed heist to open the movie and plenty of (mostly) real stunts and action! Occasional surreal, anime-influenced racing scenes years before the Speed Racer movie came out! A versatile cast of young actors on the verge of stardom, including Vin Diesel with a rare shred of humility, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez laying the foundation for one of cinema's most iconic female action heroes, and Matt Schulze making the most of his very punchable face! A 2001 time capsule which may have borrowed heavily from Point Break, but still has great chemistry between the two leads with some impressive world building and story mechanics, and would surprisingly go on to become one of the biggest and most influential action franchises in movie history!In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Spring Breakers, The Beekeeper, Lucio Fulci's dance-themed giallo Murder Rock, and Sam Raimi's return to horror, Send Help!You can find Death Don't Do Fiction on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with legendary self-defense expert and fear management coach Tony Blauer for an in-depth discussion on betrayal, resilience, and the power of managing fear in business and life. Tony shares candid stories of being betrayed by trusted partners and employees over his 40+ year career, revealing how he's shortened his recovery time from months to mere hours through the principles he teaches. The conversation explores the "timeline of violence" concept applied to business relationships, the importance of trusting your instincts, and why fear—when properly managed—becomes your greatest asset rather than your enemy. Episode Highlights [4:18] Betrayal is Inevitable for Innovators - If you're creating something original and breaking new ground, people will copy you. Tony shares how he went from taking months to recover from betrayal to processing it in 24 hours by building his "resilience muscle" through experience and applying his own fear management principles. [33:34] The Three I's: Instincts, Intuition, and Intelligence - Tony reveals the core of his SPEAR system's soft skills: your instincts give you a "bad feeling," your intuition whispers warnings, but cognitive dissonance often makes you ignore both. Learning to trust these signals and "choose safety" is critical in business partnerships, relationships, and dangerous situations. [53:54] You Can't Be Brave If You're Not Afraid - The primary ingredient of courage is fear. Tony explains why there are things in life you must do afraid, and you'll never not be afraid of them. The key is managing fear rather than eliminating it—mismanaged fear is always negative, but managed fear is always positive. [69:50] The Rational-Lie - We all rationalize why we should or shouldn't do something, but when you put a hyphen between "rational" and "lie," you realize you're selling yourself a story. Tony shares how recognizing your rational-lies—whether in business decisions, relationships, or self-defense situations—is the first step to making better choices. Tony Blauer is a pioneer in close-quarters combat, self-defense, and fear management training with over 40 years of experience. He created the SPEAR System (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response), the world's only behaviorally-based self-defense protocol founded on neurobiology, kinesiology, and psychology. Tony has trained military special forces, law enforcement agencies, and martial artists worldwide, and his research on fear and human performance has influenced everyone from Hollywood actors to elite operators. He's also developed the "Know Fear" program, teaching people how to convert fear into fuel for peak performance in high-stress situations. At 65, Tony continues to innovate and mentor through Blauer Training Systems, sharing hard-won wisdom on resilience, courage, and the intersection of physical and psychological preparedness.

Doug Marcaida of Forged in Fire on the History Channel brings the Filipino Martial art of Kali to the world of comics in Lineage. Estranged Brothers Miguel and Virgil are reunited by the death of their father and the trauma of a mysterious cult that has haunted them since they were children. Miguel and Virgil must remember the training given to to them by their father as the Blades passed down by generation are very distinct to their culture. The story not only brings the action you would expect from a martial arts comic, but the studies and philosophies built in the foundation of Kali and the idea of Legacy and Mentorship in the reunion of Family.

Sworn to Justice (1996) was chosen by friend of the show and Patreon supporter Leigh, and is a prime example of mid-90s direct-to-video action thrillers built around martial arts credentials and late-night cable appeal. Produced by PM Entertainment — a studio known for churning out low-budget, high-concept action films — the movie was designed specifically for the booming VHS rental market rather than theatrical release. Director Paul Maslak leaned into the studio's house style: fast-paced action, neon-lit cityscapes, and a blend of crime, thriller, and exploitation elements. The film was shot quickly and economically, typical of PM's efficient production model, which prioritized practical stunts and tight schedules over polish or prestige.The production's biggest selling point was its lead, Cynthia Rothrock, already a well-established martial arts star with multiple Hong Kong and American action credits. Her real-life fighting background allowed the filmmakers to stage fight scenes with minimal doubles, keeping the choreography grounded and physical. Filming took place largely around Los Angeles, using recognizable streets and interiors to stretch the budget while maintaining a contemporary urban feel. Like many PM Entertainment titles, Sworn to Justice found its audience through home video, cable rotation, and word of mouth, eventually earning cult status among fans of 90s action cinema and martial arts B-movies. Today, it's remembered as a quintessential slice of direct-to-video action filmmaking — scrappy, stylish, and unapologetically of its era.Checkout Leigh on The Movie Vent.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryA city drowning in crime… a system that's failed… and one woman who's had enough.When the law can't protect the innocent, justice goes underground.

Stewart Alsop interviews Tomas Yu, CEO and founder of Turn-On Financial Technologies, on this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. They explore how Yu's company is revolutionizing the closed-loop payment ecosystem by creating a universal float system that allows gift card credits to be used across multiple merchants rather than being locked to a single business like Starbucks. The conversation covers the complexities of fintech regulation, the differences between open and closed loop payment systems, and Yu's unique background that combines Korean martial arts discipline with Mexican polo culture. They also dive into Yu's passion for polo, discussing the intimate relationship between rider and horse, the sport's elitist tendencies in different regions, and his efforts to build polo communities from El Paso to New Mexico.

Turn-On Technologies is revolutionizing payment systems through behavioral finance by creating a decentralized "float" system. Unlike traditional gift cards that lock customers into single merchants like Starbucks, Turn-On allows universal credit that works across their entire merchant ecosystem. This addresses the massive gift card market where companies like Starbucks hold billions in customer funds that can only be used at their locations.2. The financial industry operates on an exclusionary "closed loop" versus "open loop" system that creates significant friction and fees. Closed loop systems keep money within specific ecosystems without conversion to cash, while open loop systems allow cash withdrawal but trigger heavy regulation. Every transaction through traditional payment processors like Stripe can cost merchants 3-8% in fees, representing a massive burden on businesses.3. Point-of-sale systems function as the financial bloodstream and credit scoring mechanism for businesses. These systems track all card transactions and serve as the primary data source for merchant lending decisions. The gap between POS records and bank deposits reveals cash transactions that businesses may not be reporting, making POS data crucial for assessing business creditworthiness and loan risk.4. Traditional FinTech professionals often miss obvious opportunities due to ego and institutional thinking. Yu encountered resistance from established FinTech experts who initially dismissed his gift card-focused approach, despite the trillion-dollar market size. The financial industry's complexity is sometimes artificially maintained to exclude outsiders rather than serve genuine regulatory purposes.5. The information age is creating a fundamental divide between curious, resourceful individuals and those stuck in credentialist systems. With AI and LLMs amplifying human capability, people who ask the right questions and maintain curiosity will become exponentially more effective. Meanwhile, those relying on traditional credentials without underlying curiosity will fall further behind, creating unprecedented economic and social divergence.6. Polo serves as a powerful business metaphor and relationship-building tool that mirrors modern entrepreneurial challenges. Like mixed martial arts evolved from testing individual disciplines, business success now requires being competent across multiple areas rather than excelling in just one specialty. The sport also creates unique networking opportunities and teaches valuable lessons about partnership between human and animal.7. International financial systems reveal how governments use complexity and capital controls to maintain power over citizens. Yu's observations about Argentina's financial restrictions and the prevalence of cash economies in Latin America illustrate how regulatory complexity often serves political rather than protective purposes, creating opportunities for alternative financial systems that provide genuine value to users.

Start with a vision, test it in the dojo, and forge it in a studio where code becomes sculpture. That's the journey we explore with Tokyo-based French-Spanish artist and independent curator Baptiste Tavenir, whose life bridges Japanese martial arts, musicology, and 3D-printed fine art in ways that feel both unexpected and inevitable.We talk about the leap that changed everything: leaving a Paris lab for Budo University and discovering that discipline, patience, and community dynamics aren't just for the mat. Baptiste shares how years of training in tankendo, jukendo, and naginata sharpened his focus and taught him how groups actually work—lessons he carried into his creative practice. When tinnitus undermined his work with sound, he translated composition into space, building a unique visual language from Polaroids, carved plastics, and modular 3D-printed forms. He explains why plastic can be beautiful, how open-source culture shaped his “modules” collection, and why he set intentional limits to keep quality high while still inviting others to play.We also confront the “made by a machine” objection to 3D printing. Baptiste unpacks the design decisions hidden inside CAD, the handwork that follows printing, and the broader history of tools in art—from cameras to presses—that mediate but don't replace human intention. The thread running through everything is a grounded take on ikigai: the joy of making something uniquely yours, without compromising under pressure. His line lingers: fear is the enemy of ikigai.If you're curious about where craft meets code, how martial arts can rewire creative focus, and what it takes to defend a niche against doubt, this conversation will resonate. Listen, share it with a friend who loves art or Budo, and leave a review to tell us what fear you're ready to face. Subscribe for more stories at the edge of art, technology, and purpose.

On her Patreon account, she produces translations, interpretations, previews of books in progress and videos. She also teaches swords around the world. We start by talking about travelling with knives and guns, before moving onto the main topic, which is looking at the ways to mitigate the downsides of aging as we train and get older. One of the main things to work out is understanding the difference between discomfort and dysfunction, i.e. is this pain OK, or have I catastrophically injured myself? And at what point should I listen to the fear? We talk about what lessons a long term martial arts practice has given us in our daily lives, especially when dealing with life's big moments.

SUMMARY In this Part 2 conversation, Andrew Adams and Paul Coffey discuss martial arts from a trauma-informed perspective, emphasizing the importance of understanding the physical and psychological aspects of self-defense. They explore various techniques that can be used to de-escalate situations without resorting to violence, highlighting the distinction between ceremonial and non-ceremonial violence. The discussion also covers the need for martial arts instructors to adapt their teaching methods to accommodate students with trauma backgrounds, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment. They delve into the complexities of violence, self-defense, and the importance of realistic training in martial arts. They discuss the different types of violence, the necessity of teaching practical self-defense techniques, and the significance of training in everyday clothing to prepare students for real-life scenarios. The conversation emphasizes the need for martial arts instructors to create a safe learning environment while also encouraging problem-solving skills in their students.   TAKEAWAYS Martial arts can be approached from a trauma-informed perspective. Physical techniques can be adapted for students with trauma. Non-ceremonial violence requires more responsibility from martial artists. Ceremonial violence in the dojo differs from real-world situations. Space and separation are crucial in self-defense scenarios. Understanding the difference between strikes and pushes is important. Instructors should present material that meets students' needs. Crisis intervention techniques can be effective in self-defense. Teaching should focus on de-escalation and control rather than aggression. Training in street clothes can be very different and should be practiced.   Join our EXCLUSIVE email newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out! https://www.whistlekickmartialartsradio.com/subscribe

Fifth-degree black belt, martial arts instructor, and international karate competitor Malcolm Dell joins Katie for another edition of Doing What Works. He shares what makes a great teacher, how to move through the world, and what you can do to keep conflict at bay.Here are your show notes…Malcolm does Kimura Shukokai.

Is Krav Maga a martial art?Language is not just how we describe reality. It is how we organise it. When the language is sloppy, the thinking that follows is sloppy. You cannot have clarity downstream if the foundation is vague or emotionally loaded.Krav Maga operates in the realm of force, harm, violence, and authority. That is dangerous ground. Mislabeling something here does not just confuse discussion. It confuses outcomes, and in this world outcomes are often life and death.Most people use words like self-defense, fighting, sport, and martial art interchangeably. They are not the same. In this episode, I unpack why those distinctions matter, where Krav Maga actually sits once the language is taken seriously, and why the line between sport and martial practice is far less clear than people assume.This isn't about labels or branding. It's about clarity, responsibility, and understanding what we are really training for.www.kravmagaisrael.com

I love it so much, I'm copying it here: Pick Your PoisonThe sign says, No touching, smelling, or tasting. It's human nature to pick one. Touch: you'll get a nasty rash. Didn't you learn from when you used Ivy leaves for toilet paper while camping? Smell: it will look like botched Botox.And taste: your tongue is now the size of an eggplant. Breathing might stop altogether.I know the plant names are enticing—Oleander, Donkey tail, Nightshade, Thorn apple.The intoxicating is often toxic.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Elicia Ybarra, she unpacks her path to healing through EMDR trauma therapy. She realized how buried triggers from years of grooming and abuse sabotaged her marriage and self-defense curriculum development, leading to a near-separation and inability to be touched even by her son. She broke down her "Pretty Hands, Hard Punches" empowerment model. We also discussed why stats show 975/1000 sexual assault perpetrators walk free, the red flags of abuse, multi-layered boundaries (emotional, time, social), and the "think, yell, run, fight, tell" progression with simple, realistic strikes like palm heels to the nose (tested by board-breaking!).Elicia shared red flags for parents: how to check for safe martial arts schools (check one-star reviews, watch instructor interactions, run background checks via Academy Safe, avoid MMA locker-room culture), how unquestioning obedience grooms kids to ignore gut instincts, and practical family rules like no adult secrets with children and always respecting "no" to hugs.Be sure to follow Elicia on her website, prettyhandshardpunches.com, or on Facebook or Instagram @prettyhandshardpunches.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of sexual assault statistics and low conviction rates, trauma triggers/panic attacks, strangulation, and stalking/harassment.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

In Part 1 of our conversation with martial artist and empowerment self-defense instructor Elicia Ybarra, we trace how a childhood love of ninja turtles and karate turned into a 30-year journey through grooming, coercive control, and abuse in multiple martial arts settings, and how she eventually turned all of it into a curriculum to help other women fight back before it ever gets physical.Elicia described being groomed by a trusted instructor from ages 13–16, losing her community when she tried to set boundaries, getting pulled into a second “family” TaeKwonDo organization where a grandmaster weaponized rank, money, and humiliation, and how those patterns set her up for an extremely violent relationship she barely escaped. She walked us through the turning points: postpartum depression, COVID, therapy, watching cult docs (shoutout, The Vow), quitting smoking, and finally building “Pretty Hands, Hard Punches” and an empowerment self-defense model that starts with boundaries, intuition, and situational awareness—not just throat punches and palm strikes.Be sure to follow Elicia on her website, prettyhandshardpunches.com, or on Facebook or Instagram @prettyhandshardpunches.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of sexual abuse, statutory rape, workplace sexism and harassment, intimate partner violence, and suicide.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.
