Monday Jul 19, 2021
Caleb and Isaac are kicking it old school by jumping back to the classic TNE mode of one of them picking a movie for the other to watch. This time Isaac chose Return to the 36th Chamber for a blind commentary. They discuss their history with the Shaw Brothers, as well as martial arts films in general. But apart from that, they just have a good old time hanging out and watching the movie. So why don't you pull up Netflix, or a dvd copy or two, and watch along with your pair'o buds.

The boys from the NE return to the realm of schlock cinema, and make good on a promise they've been putting off for nearly a year.

Covid soured those plans at the time, but now we have finally convened for our first in person commentary, taking a look at the film that served as a turning point in M. Night's supposedly illustrious career.
