The Complete Works Podcast

This week, Michelle Yeoh plays a supporting role in 2016's MECHANIC: RESURRECTION, the sequel to 2011's THE MECHANIC, which was itself a remake of 1972's THE MECHANIC. The Jason Statham vehicle features lots of fun action scenes... and unfortunately, the movie doesn't have Michelle Yeoh get involved with any of them! Instead, we've got a gonzo Tommy Lee Jones performance, rooftop pools turning into deathtraps, and more anonymous henchmen than can be counted.

16 years after the release of the original CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON - an Oscar-winning masterwork and breakthrough for foreign-language films in the US - Michelle Yeoh returned to star in a sequel which was directed by her frequent collaborator Yuen Woo-Ping, co-starred Donnie Yen, and got released straight to Netflix. Did it live up to the first one? Maybe not, but there's a lot to like when you take it on its own terms - it's time to talk about CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON: SWORD OF DESTINY!

This week, Michelle Yeoh teams up with director Gina Kim to tell a story about family, food, and redemption - it's time to talk about FINAL RECIPE! Yeoh stars alongside Chin Han, Henry Lau, and Bobby Lee.

This week, Michelle Yeoh stars as Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Luc Besson's biopic, THE LADY! Does this film reach its potential heights, or is it a by-the-numbers Oscar-bait drama? Either way, you can bet that Yeoh's performance in it is great. David Thewlis also stars as Suu Kyi's husband, Michael Aris

This week, it's time to talk about Michelle Yeoh's very first animated film! Yeoh joins the cast of the blockbuster Dreamworks sequel, KUNG FU PANDA 2, alongside voices like Jack Black, Angeline Jolie, Gary Oldman, her future EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE co-star James Hong, and Jackie Chan (now joining the Yeoh Four-Timers Club)!

This week, Michelle Yeoh takes on her first leading role in a martial arts film since CROUCHING TIGER with 2010's REIGN OF ASSASSINS! Directed by Su Chao-bin (with an assist from legendary Hong Kong filmmaker John Woo), the movie features Yeoh as a former assassin who must face her past to save not only her own life, but that of her husband's.

This week, Mike and Mike are taking a break from Michelle Yeoh to get back in the Cage! That's right, Nicolas Cage fulfills his destiny by finally getting to play a real vampire (sorry, VAMPIRE'S KISS) in RENFIELD! Also starring Nicholas Hoult, Awkwafina, and Ben Schwartz, RENFIELD is Cage's first live-action work at a major studio in over a decade, and he's hamming it up in thick, grotesque makeup for his portrayal of Dracula.

This week, Michelle Yeoh reunites with director Yuen Woo-Ping - at this point, pretty much her most frequent collaborator - for a small supporting role in another martial arts epic. This time around, we're learning the story of Su Can, aka Beggar So, a renowned martial artist known for his skill in Drunken Boxing. But how did he become the Drunken Master? Did it involve David Carradine injecting a team of wrestlers with steroids? Let's find out as we review 2010's TRUE LEGEND!

This week, we move on from one troubled blockbuster from the summer of 2008... to another troubled blockbuster from the summer of 2008! Michelle Yeoh appears in Mathieu Kassovitz's BABYLON A.D., a sci-fi action film starring Vin Diesel that plays like a low-rent CHILDREN OF MEN. Critics hated it, audiences hated it, and its production was a disaster - so let's dig into it!

For years, Mike DeCriscio has desperately tried to find any reason to talk about THE MUMMY on a podcast. And now, he gets his wish... sort of. It's time for us to talk about the third movie in the MUMMY trilogy, which boasts a change of scenery, a change in director, an iconic role recast, and also, yetis. And hey, Michelle Yeoh is here too - and she just might be the emotional center of the whole thing. It's time to talk about THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR!
