72: Kung Pow: Enter the Whiskey

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bottle

Part Three of our Comfort Food Movies Miniseries! (NOW WITH GUESTS!)
How does a largely forgotten and unapologetically stupid send-up of Hong Kong martial arts movies hold up to our 2023 sensibilities? What memories are conjured by drinking this well-branded, cocktail focused Japanese whiskey from spirits giant Beam-Suntory? And is “Onion Wine” actually impossible to make, or is Jamie just too scared to try? Who wants a round of Arnold Palmers spiked with Toki? Pour yourself a double, for you are the Chosen One today!

• Suntory ‘Toki’ Japanese Whiskey is widely available at most retailers for $45.
• Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is a 2002 film from writer/director/producer/star Steve Oedekerk. As of this episode’s release, you can rent or purchase it wherever you get your VODs.
• Follow our dear friend and Eisner-nominee Steve Arnold on Instagram @pillowtalktalktalk and buy his comics at HotPressComics.com. Seriously go buy them right now, they’re great.
