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:

Probably the best way to describe this movie would be as a "Kung Fu Musical Comedy" but that MIGHT not do it justice!  Produced by the founder of Motown Records (Berry Gordy) and directed by one of the early pioneers of African American cinema (Michael Schultz), it was a tale as old as time....of Bruce Leroy (Taimak), a young aspiring martial artist from New York City who aspires to become as accomplished as his idol, the legendary Bruce Lee.  Of course, some folks stand in the way of our hero achieving his goal, mainly a local Kung Fu bully Sho'Nuff (Julius Carry III) and a local gangster, Eddie Arcadian played by Christopher Murney.  Beyond that, he also might be falling in love with the host of a local music video show, the luminous Laura Charles played by the late, great Vanity.  And what results is an enduring cult classic which could ONLY come out during the 1980's featuring loads of memorable fighting, music, and hijinks....all geared towards answering one critical question: "WHO is the MASTER??" Let's find out.....Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

This weeks special guest Big Court The Last Dragon (sometimes listed as Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon) is a 1985 American martial arts comedy film produced by Rupert Hitzig for Berry Gordy and directed by Michael Schultz.[4] The film stars Taimak, Vanity, Julius Carry, Christopher Murney, Keshia Knight Pulliam, and Faith Prince. Choreography was created by Lester Wilson and Lawrence Leritz. The Last Dragon was released in theaters by TriStar Pictures on March 22, 1985. The film was a financial success despite a mixed reception by critics, and is considered a cult classic. In New York City, Leroy Green (also known as "Bruce Leeroy") has dreams of becoming a great martial artist like his idol Bruce Lee. His master explains that he has reached the final level of martial arts accomplishment known as "The Last Dragon." Martial artists who reach this final level are said to be able to concentrate such mystical energy into their hands that they begin to glow. Only a true martial arts master would be able to exhibit "The Glow" over his entire body. Leroy doesn't fully understand and, in possession of a medal supposedly belonging to Bruce Lee, Leroy embarks upon a spiritual journey to find Master Sum Dum Goy, whom his master claims can help Leroy unlock the power of "The Glow."BlackBusters is a podcast focused on reviewing, celebrating, re-living and critiquing Black film.

Taimak stars as a young African-American Harlemite who is a devout student of martial arts.  He lives kung fu, breathes kung fu and is so entrenched in the ways of the kung fu warrior, he stands out in his predominantly Black community for his lack of hipness and Asian-tinged wardrobe (he even eats his movie popcorn with chopsticks).  He is sent out into the world from his master teacher to reach the final level of his training to become a true kung fu master, involving a golden amulet and a master named Som Dom Goy.  Meanwhile, his quest is detoured by constant disruptions by a neighborhood bully, Sho'Nuff. who, along with his gang of thugs, are terrorizing the neighborhood.  Leroy also gets embroiled with an even bigger bad guy, amoral record producer Eddie Arkadian, whose quest to get his girlfriend's video played on the hottest music show on TV hosted by singer/VJ Laura Charles causes them to get physical.  Leroy becomes Laura's reluctant bodyguards, and the sparks between them suggest that they might have something more going on.

Star of the 1985 Motown-produced cult classic, The Last Dragon, we welcome Taimak to our first podcast of 2018. Taimak Guarriello was only 19 when he made his starring-role debut as the wise kung fu kid 'Bruce' Leroy Green in Berry Gordy's weird and wonderful action fantasy. It's a fun mix of martial arts and music, but the shoot wasn't always smooth, and Taimak explains some of the on-set disputes, rivalries and relationships which fuelled the production. He discusses working with legendary music mogul, Berry Gordy, and his co-stars Julius Carry and Vanity. But we also talk about his tough upbringing in New York and London, where his bohemian parents introduced him to many of the major celebrities of the time, including the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Andy Warhol and David Bowie. He was inspired by Bruce Lee and Shaw Brothers films, and even trained under the legendary 'Black Dragon' himself, Ron Van Clief. Taimak has remained true to the martial arts ever since, and he continues to train all the time as well as make his own movies, including a pseudo-sequel to The Last Dragon, called Master. You can read more about Master on the film's Indiegogo page. You can also keep up-to-date with all of Taimak's activities by following him on Instagram and Twitter. Also on this episode, I spend a bit of time chatting to the actor, fitness trainer and filmmaker, Daniel Lue, who has just made his own kung fu movie, called Kung Fu Theatre. Its a zero-budget tribute to the old-school kung fu movies he loved in his youth, and you can watch it for free on Amazon.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The kids were passed out and mama was tooWhich meant I had plenty of time for kung fu.I poured a BIG nightcap, and settled into my chairWith visions of ninjas slicing right through the air Picked up the remote, flicked on the TVGrabbed an armful of random kung fu DVDsThere was Five Deadly Venoms and Liu’s Master KillerKing Boxer, Flying Guillotine, all classics, no fillerAs I watched every fight scene I began to drink faster,and started to feel like a true Drunken MasterTore thru Shaolin Temple, Deadly Duo and ButcherFive Element Ninjas then got Bruce in the pictureI waved my arms ‘round, as my head felt much lighterThen struggled to count to Eight Diagram Pole FighterMad Monkey Kung Fu was the next film on tapAnd then followed by Ninja in the Deadly TrapI giddily laughed at the ball crushing White LotusAnd at least for the moment, forgot all about POTUSThen the Kid with the Golden Arm flexed some muscleMy Young Auntie and Five Shaolin Masters did tussleShaolin vs Ninja, Warriors Two, Masked AvengersAnd I’m no longer sure how much of this I’ll remember When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I tripped over the dog to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters, nearly threw up on the sash.When I held down my bile and looked out o’er the snowI smiled briefly at the number of films left to go When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,I shook my head hard and fought off being sickStared down at my drink and thought “That can’t be St. Nick.” More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and call'd them by name: "Now! Bruce, now! Jackie now! Donnie and Jet, On! Sammo, Don Wilson, and Chuck Norris, you bet! Today we’ve got Adkins, Jai White & Cung LeLewis Tan, Amy Johnston, and Alain MoussiThere’s Iko, Katrina, Tony Jaa on the blockErnie Reyes, Don Niam, Jacobus, Taimak.Jean Claude Van Johnson, Daniel Wu swings his swordEven Iron Fist if you have to, so kung fu fans can’t be boredTo the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! Gimme all that kung fu! To me, give it all!" As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound:He landed in stance brushed off his red sweaterHe said “Your kung fu might be good … but Mine is better.”He peeled off a roundhouse that I ducked but just barelyThen flipped over my head, and double punched my back squarelyI coughed up some blood then threw down my glassI can’t believe Santa's about to kick my ass.I channeled my Jackie and broke out Drunken MonkI bet I looked awesome. Or maybe just drunk.I bobbed and I weaved as Nick drove in with his kneeI blocked it with my face and probably started to peeWhen I regained my senses, I avoided a punchTried to hadoken, but just upchucked my lunch.Through bruised bloody eyes, I saw my adversaryHis eyes‍—‌how they twinkled! His dimples: how merry, His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, He said “Your kung fu is garbage. But at least now you know.I’ll let you live this time but I’ll be back in a year.Maybe then you’ll be ready and give me something to fear." As I lay there in pain, trying hard not to cryHe smiled at my weakness and gave a wink of his eyeHe had a broad face, and a little round belly That shook when he laugh'd, like a bowl full of jelly: He spoke no more words, but went straight to his work, And fill'd all the stockings; then turn'd with a jerk, And pressing his thumb to the side of his nose He gave it a Bruce, and up the chimney he rose. I looked up to my stocking and smiled thru the painat a gift card for classes so that I could go train:As I slowly blacked out, I heard the scrape of his sleighI quietly whispered, Santa, you bastard you will rue this day.The next time I see you. I’ll be lively and quick.And I plan to make very short work of Saint Nick.I watched him depart carried on Christmas magic.What my kids will find tomorrow will be nothing short of tragicBut I heard him exclaim, as Flags of Iron unfurled—‌ Happy Christmas to all, Poison Clan Rocks the World!

Coming from an interracial background (African American and Italian) his parents chose to move his brother and two sisters to Europe.
That’s where he got his first taste of the entertainment business. At 11 years old, he had the privilege to meet legendary director and family friend Federico Fellini. Mr. Fellini took him on a tour of the set of “Roma” where he also met another film legend Vincent Minnelli. Taimak and his family eventually moved back to New York City where he delved deeper into martial arts training. He won the New York State kickboxing championship and the very next year he was cast by music mogul and Motown legend Berry Gordy to play the lead role in the cult classic film “The Last Dragon”.
