  - Hello, I'm Olivia here with--
• 0:09
  - Shauna.
• 0:09
  - And this is your PCJ pop for the week, Shana.
• 0:14
  Have you ever seen the 2002 classic,
• 0:18
  Kung Pow: Enter the Fist?
• 0:21
  - Yes.
• 0:22
  (laughing)
• 0:25
  - Okay, this was my absolute favorite movie in childhood.
• 0:29
  It still holds up.
• 0:30
  It makes total sense that this is what I absolutely love.
• 0:34
  So it's Steve Oedekerk.
• 0:36
  It is directed, written, and starred in by Steve Oedekerk.
• 0:40
  And ultimately, it is an old Kung Fu movie
• 0:45
  that he edits himself into with the stupidest,
• 0:50
  like silly little dialogue.
• 0:54
  - And then--
• 0:55
  - So dumb.
• 0:56
  - So it's like an old school Kung Fu movie, very serious,
• 1:00
  but dumb, slapstick, fart jokes,
• 1:04
  all of the most dumb, slapstick comedy you could ever see.
• 1:08
  - Very middle school humor.
• 1:09
  - If you've never seen it, it is just--
• 1:12
  - Oh, it's funny.
• 1:13
  - It's like, it's like, you're gonna gag.
• 1:14
  You should watch it.
• 1:15
  It is just truly my cousin and I,
• 1:19
  would watch it over and over and over again.
• 1:21
  We thought it was so funny.
• 1:22
  And so it is, you know, Steve Odechirk, very white.
• 1:26
  Everyone else, very Asian, in there, very seriously,
• 1:30
  acting.
• 1:31
  And he's just a rough around that edges martial arts master
• 1:35
  who seeks revenge for his parents death.
• 1:38
  And so they like, dub over it in English.
• 1:42
  It's quite fun.
• 1:43
  - Yeah.
• 1:44
  - So I absolutely love it.
• 1:46
  - This is a great movie to watch, if you're like,
• 1:49
  in a bad mood or you're having going through a rough time,
• 1:52
  or if you're very high.
• 1:54
  - Very high.
• 1:55
  Having a bad time.
• 1:57
  I'm doing both right now.
• 1:58
  Okay.
• 1:59
  - She's just having a bad time.
• 2:00
  Well, I--
• 2:01
  (laughing)
• 2:03
  - The only thing that's gonna save me
• 2:04
  is Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, okay?
• 2:07
  And so you can find Kung Pow: Enter the Fist on Prime Video.
• 2:12
  And that's it for your PCJ Pop.
