  • Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Recently, the trailer for the upcoming Superman movie dropped and it got me thinking about how James Gunn has a great opportunity to appeal to us, the martial arts movie goer, in this new relaunch. In this episode, I appeal to James Gunn with his love for B superheroes and lay out a whole pile of DC martial art superheroes that he could use. From fan favorites, to returning characters from other DC projects, to even one that he has already used, DC has a great opporunity to appeal to the martial artist in the new DCU.

  • Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode we are wrapping up Hymns of Christmas as we complete our journey through the birth of Jesus guided by our favorite Christmas hymns. Today's guides are Silent Night & Oh Holy Night. After recapping and taking a brief look at Isaiah 9:6, I talk about this important aspect to the good news of Christmas that Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the peace to whom God has given to those He has given His grace, the peace that Micah prophesized about. What does it look like to live at peace because Jesus is peace? How does the imagry of Silent Night and the social justice message of Oh Holy Night play a part in us understanding what it means to be at peace? Also, I look at the war and poverty surrounding one of these hymns, and the Unitarians are at it again with our second Christmas hymn today. Bonus, I wrap this whole series up in a nice little bow by quoting part of Dr. Maya Angelou's poem Amazing Peace.

  • Welcome to my dojo, mthis is Kung Fu Pizza Party. This is the 2025 Coming Soon edition of the show where I talk about three of the most anticipated films of 2025, Karate Kid Legends, Mortal Kombat 2, and Love Hurts. I walk through what we do and do not know about these movies, how simply the two Karate Kid universes are coming together, how I'm not thrilled about Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, and why I think all movies need Marshawn Lynch. Then I run down four rumored films that may be coming out in 2025 that all have Donnie Yen reportedly in them.

    Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

  • What is the book of Numbers? Why would God ask Moses to have a census of Israel done? How were the tribes separated? Why was Levi exempt from the rules when it came to warfare? How can we better build and organize the church? How do we know what we're good at? How many Israelites were alive at the time of the census?

  • Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode, we continue our journey through the birth of Jesus guided by our favorite Christmas hymns. Hymns of Christmas continues with our guides Joy to the World & Oh Come All Ye Faithful as we look at Luke 2:16-20 and discuss how we are given a testimony to declare of God's faithfulness. I also talk about how brilliant Isaac Watts was and how we should all thank the Catholics for one of these hymns today.

  • Everybody was Kung Fu fighting...

    Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. in today's episode, I sit down to go over the history of Carl Douglas's iconic song "Kung Fu Fighting" which turned 50 this year. As I explore the history of the composition of the song, I also explore the history of the term "chopsocky" which contributed to the popularity of the song. After looking over the song's status as a one-hit wonder and the various groups who have covered the song, I breakdown the lyrics to help us better understand the story of this song. And of course, I over use the word "cats" and "funky" just to annoy you.
