Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

How does God provide for David while in Saul's court? What is Goliath's sin and how does Israel fail to come up to the challenge until David intervenes? How can Saul not know who David's family is despite his having served him? How can David kill Goliath? What are we to do with the Goliaths in our lives? How do David and Jonathan become best friends? Why is their relationship strictly platonic? What is the cost of having a poor view on friendships between men? Why would David stay in the same house as his abuser and what are we to learn from this? Who is Michal and how does she factor into the story?

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, I sit down to look at a training film that has gotten famous over the years on certain circles of the internet. This is my review of 1988s Suriving Edged Weapons from Calibre Press; a film designed to train local law enforcement officers on why it is important to take edged weapons seriously. As a training film it already has a level of camp to it, but by 2026 standards and what we now know about violent crimes in America, the film goes from dated to harmful very quickly.

"Strength through order, that is Tekken."

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, we are headed back once more to the Arcade as I dive into the world of Tekken. the 2009 film Tekken is considered to be one of the worst martial art films ever made with a flat 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Throughout this series, however, I have continually reviewed poorly received films. Is Tekken really that bad, or have I been preparing for the final boss in the King of Dookie Fist Tournament?
