Cult Film Showdown: Enter the Octagon Archives - We Talk Podcasts

Yakmala! Yakmala! American Ninja is truly a classic of the VHS-era action movie genre. Spawning an impressive 4 sequels, this film was a repeat view for all of the hosts. A trip down memory lane. A trip that has ninjas, motorcycles, climbing claws, and lots of khaki. 

Welcome back for more Kung Fu Electric Boogaloo. Your five hosts continue their search for the ultimate B-Movie with the next entry in the “White Dragons: All American Ninjas” season. 

Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter and secret ninja on an American Army base in the Philippines, gets caught up in an attack while driving in a convoy. The attacking rebels try to steal the weapons the platoon is transporting and kidnap Patricia, the base colonel’s daughter who happens to be along for the ride. Joe rescues Patricia and gets her safely back to the base, but everyone else in the platoon is killed, leading his superiors to conclude that Joe is guilty of cowardice, collaboration or simple incompetence. At the same time, the rebel leader vows revenge against the serviceman who disrupted his plans, and sends an army of ninjas to assassinate him and bring back Patricia. If he wants to survive and save the girl, Joe’s going to have to draw on every last ounce of his training.

Yakmala! Yakmala! It’s time to learn the ancient art of Gymkata!

Welcome to the debut episode of a podcast in which five friends begin an epic journey in search of the ultimate b-movie.

Join Stan Adu, Jim Kata, Jack Hall, Nic Boxer, and Brad Dock as they explore from the early days of the double bill, through grindhouse, VHS, and on to Netflix to find the movie that truly has more heart than budget.

This episode, the boys look at 1985’s Gymkata. Considered by many to be one of the quintessential films of the VHS action era, Gymkata tells the tale of an American gymnast who travels to a foreign country to compete in a deadly game that … is really hard to describe… do you remember Mousetrap? It’s sort of like that but with more ninjas and lunatics.
