Following clues left behind by his father, Ryu journeys to America where he becomes entangled with the CIA, a shadowy criminal organization, and a plot involving two ancient demon statues said to hold unimaginable power. Along the way, he battles armed soldiers, mutant creatures, and an army of relentless birds that may be the game's true final boss.As Ryu races to stop Jaquio from resurrecting an ancient evil, Dave and Nick will relive one of the NES era's most notoriously difficult action games—complete with cinematic cutscenes that were way ahead of their time. Will Nick keep his cool when enemies respawn every two seconds? And how long before Dave starts a personal vendetta against those dive-bombing birds? Hosted on Acast.

First up is the new Street Fighter movie, bringing Capcom's iconic fighting game to life once again with a fresh take on legendary characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and M. Bison, with a cast that includes Andrew Koji (Warrior, Snake Eyes), Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, Black Adam), and Callina Liang (Presence, Tell Me Everything), promising high-energy action and stylized combat rooted in the beloved franchise. We also check out Focker-in-Law, the next chapter in the Meet the Parents comedy series, with Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder, Night at the Museum), Robert De Niro (The Irishman, Goodfellas), Teri Polo (Meet the Parents, The Fosters), and Blythe Danner (The Tomorrow Man, Meet the Parents) returning for more chaotic family dysfunction. From Lucasfilm, The Mandalorian and Grogu continues the story of Din Djarin and his fan-favorite companion, starring Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, Narcos) alongside Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Avatar) and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Boys), expanding the Star Wars universe with cinematic scale and new threats across the galaxy. On the international front, we revisit the Oscar-winning phenomenon Godzilla Minus One, directed by Takashi Yamazaki (Stand By Me Doraemon), and starring Ryunosuke Kamiki (Your Name, Rurouni Kenshin), Minami Hamabe (Shin Kamen Rider, Let Me Eat Your Pancreas), and Yuki Yamada (Tokyo Revengers), reimagining the King of the Monsters in a grounded, post-war Japan setting with emotional storytelling and stunning VFX. Finally, we dive into The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, the next installment in Suzanne Collins' dystopian saga, with a cast led by Joseph Zada, Whitney Peak (Gossip Girl, Hocus Pocus 2), and Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, The Power of the Dog), exploring the history of Panem with new characters and deeper connections to the original series.

I just moved here," Ryu spoke with a friendly tone.Ja: 遙は少し戸惑いながらも返事をしました。「こんにちは、私は遥です。今日はインスピレーションを探しているんです。」En: Though a bit unsure at first, Haruka replied, "Hello, I'm Haruka. I'm looking for inspiration today."Ja: 二人は桜の木の下で話し始めました。En: Under the cherry blossom trees, the two began to converse.Ja: 龍は自分の夢を語り、遥は自分のアートに対する思いを話しました。En: Ryu talked about his dreams, and Haruka shared her thoughts on her art.Ja: 周囲の美しい景色と彼の話に触発され、遥は次第に心が軽くなるのを感じました。En: Inspired by the beautiful surroundings and his stories, Haruka gradually felt her heart lighten.Ja: 「あなたの話を聞いて、私も新しい挑戦をしたくなりました」と遥は微笑みました。En: "Listening to you makes me want to take on new challenges," Haruka smiled.Ja: 龍もまた、彼女の情熱に触発され、「それならお互いに応援し合いましょう」と言いました。En: Ryu was equally inspired by her passion and said, "Let's support each other, then."Ja: 二人はそれからも時々会うことを決めました。En: The two decided to keep meeting from time to time.Ja: 遥は新しいアイデアとともにエネルギーを取り戻したようでした。一方、龍はこのコミュニティにもっと馴染んでいると感じました。En: It seemed as though Haruka regained her energy along with new ideas, while Ryu felt more at home in this community.Ja: そして、彼らは、お互いの夢を支え合うことで、新しいインスピレーションを見つけながら、友情と協力の大切さを学びました。En: And thus, by supporting each other's dreams, they discovered new inspirations and learned the importance of friendship and collaboration.Ja: 桜が咲き誇る季節、二人の新しい旅路が始まったのです。En: In this season of blooming cherry blossoms, a new journey began for both of them.Ja: 遥はもう、他者とのつながりを恐れることはありませんでした。そして、その旅路は桜が再び満開になった時に続くでしょう。En: No longer did Haruka fear connecting with others, and that journey would continue when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom once again.

Has the FDA thwarted Donald Trump on his Right to Try initiative in 2018? Angelina Olivera tells me about her son Ryu, who suffers from a rare disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Ryu is running out of time for an effective medical treatment, but the FDA is blocking access to one drug that shows great promise. Angelina talks to us about fighting the bureaucracy at the FDA, and the need to have promises kept now rather than somewhere down the road.

Jill comments on the weather implications of Groundhog Day and mentions Terry’s completion of a book in the Eve Dallas series. The group discussed a new outdoor security camera that Keith had mounted on his house. They talked about its features, including night vision, a 360-degree rotation, and a two-way speaker.

In lieu of the upcoming Street Fighter film... let's talk about one of the originals! Future Cops!

It is a solo this week with Rick out and a short one on top of it. Jack starts off with a focus on how different versions change the experience if you watch the English or Japanese versions. He breaks down the name swaps between Japanese and international releases, and he also points out major edits like censorship cuts and trimmed scenes, and compares how soundtrack and dialogue changes can completely shift the tone depending on which cut you watch. He also talks about how the movie feels more like a fan focused showcase where lots of characters pop in briefly, why the game style fight moments are the most fun part, and how the whole thing hit him as a nostalgic easy watch that made him want to pick up Street Fighter II again.About the anime:This movie straight up takes the Street Fighter II roster and builds a globe-hopping action story around them. Vega ( or M. Bison for the dub fans) is running Shadaloo (or Shadowlaw) and basically hunting down the world's strongest fighters so he can control or recruit them to help him with is goals, and Ryu sitting at the center of the target because of his pure raw potential. While Ryu's out doing his lone-wolf “I'm just here to get stronger” thing, Chun-Li and Guile are pushing the investigation and military side of the plot, trying to shut Shadaloo down before Vega can do any more damage. The movie's big focus is pretty straight forward, the fight scenes are well executed even if some of them pay homage to the game itself in a fun way and that “that character gets a moment” energy, more than deep mystery plotting.Next Week's Pick: “A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof”Have you had the chance to watch Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie or any of our previous selections?

Today's episode is a double-feature for design nerds. First, I'm sharing Production Designer Loo Sung He on Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice—in a first-ever translator format where I'm reading her responses. Then we switch to TV with my full audio interview on Overcompensating with Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. Film first, TV second—two deep dives, one episode.First, Production Designer Ryu Seong-hie (Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice) answers Kim Wannop's questions in a unique format: the interview was conducted through a translator, and Kim reads Ryu's translated responses on the show. Ryu breaks down how the film's spaces carry character and pressure—especially Man-su's home, built around a 1970s Korean “French House” ideal (mid-century suburban planning with French Provincial influence), plus the way greenery and color shift as the story darkens.Then the episode switches to TV with the full audio interview on Overcompensating featuring Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. They dive into building the show's visual language—tone, texture, location choices, and the practical realities of designing and decorating a world that feels specific, modern, and lived-in.If you love production design, set design, set decoration, art department craft, and behind-the-scenes filmmaking, follow Decorating Pages Podcast for more conversations with the creatives shaping what you see on screen.
