TPToA Podcast 236 – Kung Fu (2021)

The CW formula can only do so much...
Probably one of the most formulaic feeling shows to attempt to reboot the original '70s series. Which is amazing as it abandons pretty much all linkages with the old show and should be new, fresh and exciting.

One-Inch Punches
It's got a good diverse supporting cast of excellent chinese actors
Some of the fights are excellent and they do stick mostly to actual Kung Fu
The show develops throughout and changes towards the mid season improve it markedly
Drunken Fists
It's got a terrible pilot that crams in SO much that it all feels like a cliffs notes story.
The whole thing feels cheesy and twee, the issue of the week concept is very tired.
Really feels like Arrow and all the other CW shows without the Super-heroics.

AWESOME

In this week’s show we will be asking you, Grasshoppers, to snatch these pebbles from our hand… probably because we don’t want to hold the pebbles anymore. Who knows where they’ve been? All we do know is that we are checking out the CW Network’s 2021 reimagining of the classic ‘70s TV show Kung Fu!

Calm your mind and centre your chi to begin your training with your Sifu Jill along with fellow students Peta, Quinny and Dion.

Truly our podcast style Kung Fu is the strongest!

A massive thank you to our shao-lin bretheren who support the show during the Twitch stream this week, and every week! Your highly interactive style of typing kung-fu is unbeatable!

Thank you all for joining us each Tuesday night, and if you haven’t done so before, do some wire-work inot the chat 7:30pm next Tuesday to get in on the action.

Special love and thanks goes to those who have dropped some financial aid into our wandering monks bowl, financially bolstering this podcast via our Ko-Fi jar and now also by subscribing on Twitch! You are the best!

Maybe drop us a sub! The More subscriptions we get the more Emotes you get! Every bit of your support helps us walking the earth, you know, having adventures and shit…
