NINJA NOVEMBER 2024 concludes! Thankful for Punches & Popcorn? If you haven't seen American Ninja 3 yet, you just might be thankful your Punchy Pals watched it so you don't have to! We sure are thankful to be joined by our buddy, CHAD YOUNG, of HORROR MOVIE BBQ to take on this final film in our 2025 Ninja November slate. Is this the most Cannon of Ninja films? It's certainly a lot of SOMETHING... listen in as the gang gets thankful and tries to decide what that something is....
