Digging into the deepest, most dustiest section of the TNE Archives, we present to you the nearly lost Bonus #96. In it your hosts discuss their thoughts on Video Game Remasters, and their favorite entries there. They also debate what format to take for their upcoming retrospective on films based on Marvel Properties. And to round it out, a first on the podcast, they give a mini-review of their (then) recent viewing of the Roger Corman cult classic, Rock n Roll Highschool.
This episode is a composite episode from several recordings from July and August, 2023.

Friday Mar 29, 2024
Isaac and Caleb are back in the Basement, this time looking at a not particularly Oltra-Violent OVA, in the 1991 video game adaptation, Wizardy. Isaac brings in his second pick in our rekindling of the series, this time one that Caleb hadn't heard of previously. Have you heard of Wizardy? If so, join our hosts as they talk their way through it, and see if this piece of anime history deserves a bigger spotlight than it has.

Fist of Fury (1972) {Bruce Lee Series}
Monday Mar 25, 2024
Monday Mar 25, 2024
The Bruce Lee series kicks it's way back onto the feed as Caleb and Isaac return to discuss our sophomore entry in the Year of the Dragon, as they discuss the 1972 film, Fist of Fury. Lo Wei makes his return to the director's chair, kicking off an unlikely franchise covering the (fictional) legend of Chen Zhen, a character who would see several sequels, as well as a remake which received a spin-off and a sequel.
Note from the editor: In the discussion Caleb claims that this character is either based on a legend, or is a legendary figure in his own-right: This is only partially true. The Master in the film was indeed real, but Chen Zhen is fictional, supposedly inspired by Liu Zhensheng, a student of the real life teacher Bruce Lee's character is avenging.
