Episode 101: Swordsman and Sword Master - Who Are They?

A young listener caught the name of a character I mentioned briefly in Episode 85, and asked me to follow up with his history.  This made me realize I had messed up in that episode, so I go over the history of the character I did name, plus dive into the backstory of the similarly named character I actually meant.

Apparently, if you have a French name, you also get an upturned mustache. I don’t write the rules, I just report them.

Marry a tree? (I’d make a “slippery slope” joke here, but I’m afraid someone might think I mean it)

See that upturned mustache? French tree…

Sequoia. He mostly takes after his dad…

Swordsman…Sword Master…You know, Potato/Potaster.

Episode 88: Who is Shang-Chi?

We’ve recently gotten a teaser trailer for the Marvel film “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” but you may not have heard of the character before that.  We give you a basic rundown on who Shang-Chi is, his infamous father, and how he fits into the Marvel Universe (and possibly the MCU as well)!

Shang-Chi’s dad as originally portrayed…

Limited Edition First Issue…#15? Math is hard!

and as seen in one of the (many) films where they cast a white man to play him.

Bruce Lee? No, we weren’t inspired at all by…um…okay, maybe a little.
