Note sull'episodio

Black Myth: Wukong is out, and we're celebrating the game's release by continuing our exploration of various adaptations of its source material, the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West! In this second leg of our podcasting journey westward, we discuss the 2008 film The Forbidden Kingdom, starring Jet Li and Jackie Chan! Surprising no one, we find a way to pivot back to toilet humor, but it's not all debates over the best way to move those bowels (the answer: Horse Stance, of course). And while this episode finds us disagreeing over certain tropes, forms of escapism, and many of the specific choices this movie makes, there's one area where we can wholeheartedly agree: "It's better than hardtack!"
