Do pixie girls dream of manic cinema? Just what is the deal with Chungking Express, the beautiful and mysterious 1994  masterpiece from celebrated Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-wai starring Faye Wong, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Brigitte Lin, and Valerie Chow. Marcus and Dana unpack and decipher a film that bathes in its own contradictions like murky tub water - or is it an uncleaned aquarium? Apartments and Men cry. Mules run off with butt drugs. And, sometimes you just want someone to like the same 60's pop song as you.

Stick around through the end of the recording to hear Marcus pay his tribute to a dearly departed personal hero of his, Michael Brooks, on the anniversary of his passing.

NOTE: Tremendous apologies for technical issues with the sound in some areas - which unfortunately effects the tribute at the end.
