Joining me today on this very special episode we have returning guests Lindsay Wilkins, Bede Jermyn and Super Marcey. Yes that's right, 3 guests. Meaning 4 voices total to talk about a rather crazy film known as Ninja 3: The Domination. Celebrating it's 40th anniversary and being the finale of ninja month. It's all culminated in a lovely crossover of our themes in the recent episodes. Directed by Sam Firstenberg and starring Sho Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, Jordan Bennett, and James Hong. This should have been the apex of the Ninja trilogy, instead it went in a very different direction. Is it all the better for it?

Today we are celebrating the first of many 40th anniversaries, kicking things off with Walter Hill's rock and roll fable Streets of Fire. A film that had a lot more influence on pop culture than anyone could have foreseen at the time, even if you've never seen this movie you've likely seen one that took inspiration from it, music videos that learned from it's editing or video games that took the aesthetic and ran with it. Joining me today we have returning guest Mike Fury, author of the Art of Action books and a massive Walter Hill fan!Mike's Twitter: @TheMikeFuryAction Addicts Links: https://linktr.ee/actionaddicts Hosted on Acast.
