QFT. Today, for new fans, "old school" means GSP and Cain. But going back to the beginning of the sport, those first 5-10 years, there were some incredible fighters doing incredible things, and Igor's one of the most incredible for sure. He not only took on everyone, regardless of style and...

<TrumpWrong1> Meet Igor Vovchanchyn, aka "Ice Cold." Before Khabib, before Fedor, Igor was the Russian bareknuckle destroyer. Between 1995 and 2000, he went 38 fights without losing, and the only blemish is when PRIDE briefly didn't want people kneeing to the head of downed opponents and...

Yeah, he tapped him on the ground, but he didn't outwrestle him. He tapped Chael on the ground, too, but he got mauled beforehand. Not exactly the same as GSP outwrestling Hughes or Fedor outstriking Cro Cop. More like Bas Rutten never being able to stop the TD but being able to either KO you on...

Weird bump, but it's an excuse to say that Dirty Harry is solid if a bit clunky, but Magnum Force is far and away the best in the series. Tight plotting and a very clever way to reposition "dirty" Harry as still having a line and a code as a cop and standing up for the spirit of the law after...

One of his worst takes is his take on '80s American cinema. He went full Pauline Kael on that nonsense in his book, and you should never go full Pauline Kael. It's one thing to prefer other decades - Tarantino's an unashamedly biased lover of the '70s films that he grew up on - but the hate that...

Wow, that's legitimately awful. I hope that he saves this type of silly shit for the novels that he'll write and I'll never read. For a film, he definitely made the right call abandoning this idea. It's too bad that he's so popular that even scrapped ideas get talked about. We shouldn't sift...

Hard not to pick Mighty Mouse. Punches, kicks, knees, wrestling in the clinch and shots, GNP, grappling on top, grappling on bottom...there was literally nothing that he didn't do at an insanely high level. GSP and Jones didn't threaten people with wicked guards, Anderson wasn't going to...

Yes, technically he looked great, but physically he was in shambles. In the Frye fight, his shoulder and his neck were bad and his knees were so shot that he literally couldn't shoot. That's why he clinched the whole time: He knew that he couldn't box on the outside with him but he also couldn't...

The only problem at this point - aside from the still pervasive culture of silence surrounding Japanese MMA and the early era works - is Ken's memory. It's so long ago that he doesn't remember things that well. I noticed in this podcast that he repeated a story that he's told before about him...

I've said this many times on here, but since this is the latest Ken thread, I'll post it again in here to go with the trip-down-memory-lane thing: First, Ken really didn't want to do that show. Literally the only reason that he did it was to fight Tito. Part of what the original Lion's Den...

Just to clarify, the nerd with glasses isn't Erik Paulson. I don't remember who he is - Master, do you remember who that guy was? - but Paulson is the grizzled guy behind Ken in that photo who you can't fully see.

I get where you're coming from, as I love Tarantino's writing, too, but that's what makes Jackie Brown so special: Even when Tarantino's doing "someone else's" writing, he makes it his. He changed so much, not least the main character, that it became a Quentin Tarantino Special, not a movie...

Same with sci-fi, if he's going to do one of these new genres, I'd want him to do his own thing, not enter a world that already exists, be it Halloween or Star Trek or whatever. His idea about adapting a horror novel would be cool if he doesn't think that he can whip up an original horror movie...

I think you and I have talked about this before. Again, unfortunate shit in Tarantino's head. If he doesn't think that he can make a good horror movie, then he won't try, which means this'll never happen. That's too bad, because I believe in him more than he evidently believes in himself. Just...

In the past, he's mentioned his desire to do a period crime film (1930s era) and a proper horror film. I'd be happy with either. I don't care to see him do sci-fi and I'll lose my shit if he ends his career with another fucking Western. I think I'm leaning more toward a horror movie. He's danced...

That was a great podcast. Ken's been doing the podcast thing for a little while now and I'm loving hearing more from him on the ins and outs of his career. It's also a cool part in that vid when Rampage tells Ken that it meant everything to him when Ken told him that he could be a champ, as Ken...

Haven't watched it and don't plan to, but my YouTube says it's at 705k after 18 hours.

This honestly isn't worth arguing about, because it has nothing to do with the point that this whole ending-his-career thing is a goofy move on Tarantino's part that's all in his head. Say whatever you want about Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood, it was better received than Jackie Brown, his...
