GAM Bonus 010: Street Fighter
Added 2017-03-01 05:03:30 +0000 UTCWe said we'd have two bonus episodes out in February and it looks like we're gonna miss that by a couple of minutes; so clearly we were talking to people in the Central time zone and west.
Enjoy.

Saw this in the theater with a friend of mine who, inexplicably, had already seen it and was willing to pay to see it a second time.

2021-10-16 23:00:50 +0000 UTCDid he have cancer? Wiki says bad sushi cause tummy infection and the later had to be hospitalized where he had a stroke.

2018-11-10 06:51:37 +0000 UTCThank you Eli for the Doctor Who mention. It's even more geek creed and increases my already high levels of respect for you.

2018-10-14 04:50:32 +0000 UTCOh my god today my roommate and I found a pack of Street Fighter trading cards that had been sitting in the Dollar Tree since 1994. We bought them. They were $0.01. We paid our penny and did an unboxing video in the car immediately.

2017-03-20 03:47:30 +0000 UTCI second this all the way. Eli describing the stereotyped fighters would be hilarious. Plus it shows us one of the situations where it is actually ok to punch a Nazi!
Bennykins the great.
2017-03-18 23:37:47 +0000 UTCDoes anyone have the link for the pateron's only RSS feed? I can't find it anywhere...

2017-03-13 15:48:35 +0000 UTCYou guys need to do The Quest. It's Van Damme's masterpiece and boasts a marvellous turn from Sir Roger Moore.

2017-03-04 17:16:30 +0000 UTCOkay, Eli, I hate to be "that guy who has watched Kindergarten Cop and retained any information from it," but there actually WAS dialogue in that film where one of the kids asks him why he talks that way and Arnold's character tells him that he's from Austria.

2017-03-04 16:14:59 +0000 UTCAn excellent desecration of an execrable film … with one exception. Ryu has neither a long 'e' sound nor an 'ai' sound. The only vowel is the (long) u at the end. If you want to know what it is supposed to sound like, plug リュウ into Google Translate and click the speak icon. Good luck saying that, though: I studied Japanese for years and I still can't completely suppress a vowel sound between the 'r' and 'y'. (It's an odd name to be sure. In the original game, it was written 隆 [filial piety], which would ordinarily be pronounced 'Takashi'. But the furigana indicate it should be pronounced like 竜 [dragon].)

2017-03-03 22:17:33 +0000 UTCThe Patreon app sucks. Full stop, doesn't matter what device you try to use it on. Use the rss feed in ITunes instead, works perfectly for me.

2017-03-03 16:59:10 +0000 UTCIs it just me or does the Patreon app suck on iPhone 5?? Regular podcast app works fine. Patreon app always fails downloads, and is very difficult to get it to play anything.

2017-03-02 23:36:50 +0000 UTCI worked (wardrobe) on a made for TV film (for HBO) with Raul Julia in it. He was very intense and focused. It was a dreadful shoot and no fun at all so I don’t know if he was a nice guy or not. Nobody knew who he was then. But I knew him from theatre.... from a televised “Shakespeare in the Park” “King Lear” where he was GREAT as the bastard Edmund, and from an equally amazing performance on B’way as Macheath in “Threepenny Opera”. “Florida Straits” is the title of the film. It’s so bad! I don’t even think it’s on disc. OMG...there’s a Wiki page for it! <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Straits_(film)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Straits_(film)</a>

2017-03-02 21:14:08 +0000 UTCOtherwise his name is like Lightening-Oil or something. Madness.
Thomas J Wood
2017-03-02 19:25:31 +0000 UTCI fucking love this movie. It definitely goes down in the "so bad it's good" category. "For me it was Tuesday"
Alex Eckersley
2017-03-02 18:43:30 +0000 UTCConcerning the pronunciation of Ryu (隆): Actually Noah was right. It should sound like "few" or "cue," just one syllable, not Rai-you.

2017-03-02 17:58:26 +0000 UTCI am going to recommend "Cloak and Dagger" from 1984. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFj4e-AmhTo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFj4e-AmhTo</a>

2017-03-02 00:50:20 +0000 UTCStreet Fighter is on the UK Netflix if you want to see Jean Claude looking for Charlie.

2017-03-01 18:50:12 +0000 UTCOmg if you guys do mortal kombat too, imma goosh all over the place. Lmao

2017-03-01 16:14:53 +0000 UTCAhhh the best way to start my day....You guys DO have "Kull the Conqueror" on the list, don't you? I mean, if you do intend to explore K-Sorb's full filmography, that one is essential. I still remember the day I stomped on that VHS tape....

2017-03-01 15:13:55 +0000 UTCOMG too many downloads at once!! Its like a bukkake of podcasting. Hand me a cleansing wipe please, Sephora if you have one. yikes.
Jack Meyers
2017-03-01 15:12:28 +0000 UTCThere is such a difference between when you guys have experienced a "good bad" movie like this one, and a "bad bad" movie like Super Mario Brothers. Both types of shows are always entertaining and I love it when these patron-only episodes are posted. You guys rock! All Praise Shakara-kiki!

2017-03-01 13:25:10 +0000 UTCI literally lol on the train while listening

2017-03-01 12:05:25 +0000 UTCFirst off a couple quick notes. Sagat is played by a Native American (not a bad actor he's been in Avatar and Dances with Wolves), don't get me started on the Hawaiian playing a sumo wrestler that should be Japanese, Zangief isn't played by a Russian, Ryu is played by a Chinese American, and of course Cammy isn't Brittish. Bison isn't Thai, he's either British or Irish depending on the story. That is the nationalities they fucked up. Fey Long is trademarked by the Bruce Lee family so he can't be represented by any actor. And the actor who played T-Hawk was actually a Native American, Cherokee to be exact.

2017-03-01 09:12:44 +0000 UTCI used to work in an office that was a good 50% offshore-imports - I thought the head bob was curious, so I just asked the guy I was talking to what that head bobby thing was.
Chubby Bunny
2017-03-01 07:55:11 +0000 UTCIncidentally, the "Indian head bob thing" _is_ actually a thing. Kind of like nodding, it's the "Oh, ok, I get it" motion in Hindu culture.

2017-03-01 07:54:01 +0000 UTCAnd remember, if you rearrange the letters in "Street Fighter" you get "Shit Grteefter" (many thanks to the Film Sack podcast)

2017-03-01 06:00:38 +0000 UTCI can't help holding my breath until Jupiter Ascending gets on here as a Bonus Ep - while not religious it does involve preposterous mythmaking about the nature of the universe! I literally cringed multiple times during that movie, to the point of hiding my head under my jacket.

2017-03-01 05:13:19 +0000 UTCSo no airbender?
