Recorded in multiple parts that listeners received access to by sending in their donation receipts to a charity of their choice, this first hour has Kenny B, Stewart Sutherland and King Who talk recently watched movies, Kenny B speaks to Coffin Jon about donating to Japan Society and discovering Japanese film and fight choreographer and author John Kreng stops by to speak about Bruce Lee for a bit. Note there are some references to video materials that were also available to donors. They are not now. Stoo is probably happy about that.
