August 05, 2024 Episode 19: No Way Out and Spy Games
In this episode we thought we would cover 2 films with a similar theme, Spies!

Firstly we look at 1987 film No Way Out which stars Gene Hackman and Kevin Costner. We can't wait to talk about the ending twist in the spolier section!

We then move onto 1989 Hong Kong film Spy Games. This film gave us a much needed Hong Kongness boost! And Leon discusses a new entry into his top 10 Hong Kong actors list!

As usual we discuss the films, the directors and some of the cast members along with anything else that pops into our minds as we chat!

We hope you enjoy this episode. If you would like to get in touch on either of these films or general comments on the Podcast, please do, we'd love to hear from you!

July 01, 2024 Episode 18: Sweet Bean and The Passenger
In this episode we go Beyond and look at Eureka's release of Sweet Bean, a sweet Japanese drama with a harsh reality check thrown in for good measure! We loved this 2015 film and we hope if you haven't seen it already that our discussion sparks your interest in tracking down a copy!
We also look at 1973 Jack Nicholson film The Passenger, released by Indicator. This film kept us on our toes! We really enjoyed covering this 70s classic.
We hope you enjoy this episode and if you would like to get in touch please do!

September 18, 2023 Episode 12: Fatal Termination (1990) and Melancholic (2020)
In this episode we discuss our recent purchase from Error 4444 - 1990's Fatal Termination starring the legendary Moon Lee alongside Ray Lui and Leon's idol, Simon Yam (The Macho Yam). We talk about the film including the crazy, infamous, child dangling from a moving car stunt! We delve into Moon Lee's filmography and discuss director Andrew Kam. Then we go Beyond Hong Kong to Japan and look at Third Window Film's release of 2020 film Melancholic written and directed by Seiji Tanaka. We were both blown away by this relatively unknown indie film about a bath house used after hours for some not so squeaky clean Yakuza activities!
