Set your motion to choppy 90's slo-mo, because this week we're talking about John Woo's Hard Boiled from 1992! We discuss the idea of a comfort genre, what it's like to risk your life for 90's cinema, and how John Woo's greatest strength is never planning for anything.

Hard Boiled is rightfully a mainstay in Hong Kong action cinema, and works as a great entry point to the subgenre. Watch it ironically or earnestly, the choice is yours!

Next week, we continue our accidental neo-noir theme,with To Live and Die in LA (1985)!
