This Is Us: Miguel (2022)
This One Caught Me Off Guard...
This Is Us has brought me to tears on many, MANY occasions (like it does for so many people who love it). But Miguel's episode caught me off guard in an all-too-incredible way. I've liked his character throughout the show, but haven't necessarily loved him. Therefore, I made the mistake of thinking this episode might give me a break from all the emotional roller-coastering the show typically takes you through. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong... and I should have known better! Because the writers on this show are too good and have known EXACTLY what they are doing since Day 1!
Kudos to causing one of the hardest cries I've ever had over this show, and giving us one of the sweetest character arcs in recent memory with Miguel. The writing and editing of this episode made it absolutely memorable... and I can't wait to see how the series concludes. One of the greatest "dramadies" of ALL TIME! Now... just stick the landing and take your place at the top!

A Gordon Liu Classic!
Another Gordon Liu classic, Clan of the White Lotus was directed by White Lotus Chief himself, Lo Lieh, and is old school Kung Fu fun at its finest! This one features such crazy concepts as the White Lotus Chief having the ability to suck his testicles into his stomach (as a means of defense) and some insane use of "acupuncture-fu" toward the end of the film. Liu trains in some uniquely interesting 'woman's style' Kung Fu as he battles Lieh 3 times, each fight growing in intensity. And his fights with Wang Lung-wei are absolutely fierce! These two square off in several flicks, with every encounter being great (check out "Instructors of Death" aka "Martial Club" for one of their absolute best). COTWL is hands down a MUCH better version/remake of "Executioners From Shaolin."
