EP. 331 — New York Ninja LIVE!

Paul, June, and Jason break down the insanity that is New York Ninja—an action movie shot in 1984 that wasn’t released until 2021 when the unedited footage was found without audio and completely reconstructed. LIVE from the Count Basie in New Jersey, the crew discuss the villain eating his own rat tail, the $100 special effects budget, the news reporter who constantly gets abducted, ninjas on roller skates, and so much more. Plus, they debate with the audience about the most amazing wig of all time… or was it?
