From a director who makes the most out of his sporadic filmmaking, we find Lee Chang-dong directing a lead performance with enough acting for 3 movies. So is his 140 minute drama Secret Sunshine from 2007, about grief, belief and emotional trauma worth the investment. Or do we need to watch vidoes of puppies to […]

For episode 19, we cover the oldest Korean movie with recorded sound in existence that also is the shortest Korean movie discussed on this show. And hence maybe the shortest episode we’re ever likely to record. Brevity is an art not practised today, in Korea and elsewhere but anyway, the movie is Sweet Dream from […]

They wanted more Game Of Death, they got more Enter The Dragon. So yet another movie was made “starring” Bruce Lee and actually also starring one of the official doubles for Game Of Death. Not obscured anymore, we follow Tong Lung to the Tower Of Death. With Kenny B and Paul Fox of the East Screen West Screen podcast. […]

In the wake of Bruce Lee’s death, there was popularity at its peak and savvy producers, high profile or not, started to exploit the image of him by casting other people looking semi to not similiar at all. Hence your Bruce Le’s, Li’s, Dragon Lee and so forth. When Golden Harvest decided to try and […]

From Hong Kong to Spain and back to Hong Kong and back in time again, for this episode we follow the three brothers (i.e. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao) as they take their martial arts action comedy formula to Spain and into a meal-van in Wheels On Meals. And we then transfer from […]

Double crossing, doubt and destruction wreck havoc on innocent lives. An evil ninja challenges a righteous ninja. One man takes on a whole gang. He’s no ordinary man.

Let’s talk some fucking living next door to Dr. Lamb! One actor that took roles left and right, evolved his craft and did not in some cases (by his own admission) was Anthony Wong and he was as much of a mainstay in mainstream, lower rated Hong Kong cinema as in Category III movies. In […]

Well, well, well… we’ve reached episode 200 and thank you for listening and supporting the show! We came up with an innovative idea for the celebration: WE’RE GONNA REVIEW MOVIES!  With Kenny B and many of the co-hosts of the network, across 4 hours and several separate recordings you’ll essentially get all network shows in […]

The tale of a Chinese protection deity isn’t as dry as it may sound as the story has cinematic colours galore so we’re taking a look at one such literary adaptation from Taiwan: Feng Shen Bang. EDIT – Unfortunately there are three instances of unexplained audiodropouts at these points in the show: 11.26-11.32, 12.30-12.36 and 52. 53-52. 57. […]
