Andrew Milne from the excellent Two Friends Watch podcast joins The Goods to try and clear up one of Dan and Brian's blind spots: martial arts films. They talk through the curious saga of a forgotten prison drama revived into a series of high-powered, direct-to-video fighting movies anchored by Scott Adkins' memorable Boyka fighter. Join as they talk through the series' ups and downs, the unexpected thematic threads, the goofy exploitation campiness, and elegance of a great fight scene.
