Full disclosure: I, and by extension And You Thought It Was Safe, received what I believe you English call a “right proper” in the midst of the following discussion. If I’ve done nothing but connect intelligent, articulate, and downright hilarious people, despite the literal oceans between them, then these mad piles of swearing, invective and spelling errors have not all been in vain. And if the Iad Uroboros broke through tomorrow, I’d great them a happy man with both middle fingers in the air.

As March-ial Arts month come to a close the trio picked a modern Wushu film based on a legendary Wushu master. Legend and lore has it Ip Man (or Yip Man) trained the kung-fu film legend Bruce Lee and the trio delves deep into this story to see if any truth is in these rumors. Donnie Yen leads the cast in this amazing tail of action, suppression, and uprising. Join the @TCPodCast crew in their discussion and review of this semi-biographical account of Yip Man and be amazed with the skills and fighting styles the crew brings to the table. Tune in to witness Mike Wickliff’s Midwestern Devastation Panda Paw Wing Chung style. Admire for the first time in 200 years Mr. DeMoss’s West Coast Negative Angst Whooping Crane Bitch Slap method. And before you leave you will see for the last time performed in public MuGumBo’s Flying Dragon Spinning a Yarn Eight Legged Spider Boxing style.
It has taken slightly over a year but the Traumatic Cinematic show has finally logged their 60th episode. In celebration, and to keep in line with March-ial Arts Month, the trio delved deep into Takashi Miike’s spaghetti western kung-fu extravaganza Sukiyaki Western Django. This is not the first nor the last Miike experience for the boys but it is the first gun slinging western. Tune in to see if Wickliff gushes all over yest another one of his own picks, listen to see if Mr. DeMoss finds something to hate about this film like all the rest, and see if Mugumbo understood any of the film’s Engrish.
This is our 2nd installment in our March-ial Arts month spectacular and we bring you Jet Li’s “last martial arts movie” Fearless. We invited a special guest on the show from the Movies, Cigars, and Beer podcast Keith Hughes and we give him the Traumatic Cinematic royal treatment. Tune in to find out if Mike drinks himself into a Sassafras blackout, find out if Keith gives up podcasting forever after being soiled by the trio, and if DeMoss hogs all the airtime.
To close out Black History month we at the TCPodcast studio decided since we’ve already tasted the modern throwback Blaxploitation film Black Dynamite we needed to also view one of the greatest and most copied films from the genre. Pam Grier plays the ever so sexy badass in this 1974 cult classic Foxy Brown and we get elbow deep in it. The trio invited 3 Black Geeks to join in and Chris Powell represents them and the East Coast verses MuGumBo’s Midwest style and DeMoss’s West Coast jingle. Tune in to find out where Wickliff was, see if DeMoss and Chris Powell start a coast to coast podcast war, and if Antonio Fargas is the Steve Buscemi of Blaxploitation films (spoiler alert: he totally is).
William Bruce West (@WilliamBWest) joins the crew as we celebrate Black History Month with the 2009 retro blaxploitation extravaganza, Black Dynamite.
