Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's episode, I hop on the trending bandwagon to throw in my opinion on the current discussion, "who would win, 100 men vs 1 gorilla?" This has been an on again, off again debate for five years now, and thanks to MrBeast we're back at it again. Can we take down one gorilla? Have we learned nothing from Planet of the Apes? What is our best plan of attack? All this and more in this episode. Instagram: @kungfupizzaparty Letterboxd: KungFuPizzaPrty YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StudioTwoOneNine…

Why do we do what we do? Why do we hold onto our traditions? Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party.

After briefly reviewing the history and popularity of Street Fighter, I dive into this rather short short story in the life of Ryu as he trains to battle Goki (Akuma).

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Recently, the trailer for the upcoming Superman movie dropped and it got me thinking about how James Gunn has a great opportunity to appeal to us, the martial arts movie goer, in this new relaunch. In this episode, I appeal to James Gunn with his love for B superheroes and lay out a whole pile of DC martial art superheroes that he could use. From fan favorites, to returning characters from other DC projects, to even one that he has already used, DC has a great opporunity to appeal to the martial artist in the new DCU. @kungfupizzaparty on Instagram…
