I got to talk about a wonderful, unusual samurai film and one of my favorite filmmakers with @heroes3podcast.bsky.social ! Check it out! heroes3podcast.blogspot.com/2026/05/160-...

Reasons I can't Quit Social Media: Without this account, Godfrey Ho would only be mentioned on BlueSky once every ten days or so, and that's defintely not enough.

RIP Kenji Ohba, one of my favorite tokusatsu actors. A brilliant example of the power of finding a charismatic stunt performer and putting them at the center of your show. Always moving dynamically, jumping over things that could simply be walked around, and just a joy to see on screen.

Today on @heroes3podcast.bsky.social we are joined by Leon and Shaz from Hong Kong and Beyond to talk about Sammo Hung’s homage to the legend, Enter the Fat Dragon from 1978!
