Grady Hendrix and Chris Poggiali, the authors of These Fists Break Bricks, the definitive book about kung fu movies in the United States, join us to discuss the films of producer Serefim Karalexis, and actor/martial artists Ron Van Clief and Charles Bonet.

Chris and Grady tell an incredible story about the heyday of 1970s-1980s independent film distribution, the rise of martial arts in New York City, and the huge impact kung fu movies had on Black cinema and vice versa. This is an unmissable episode for fans of v, independent film, and anyone who loves a great story.

We discuss Black Dragon, Black Dragon's Revenge, Superweapons, and many more!
