Part of the network crew gather for a relaxed, free for all roundtable centering around the participants bringing something Eastern and/or Western to the table. Donnie Yen is mentioned, former Superman, sexy Korean Christmas tales, Hallmark movies, cats and Japan flavoured… stuff. Kenny B, Paul Fox, Stewart Sutherland (Films And Swearing) and Paul Quinn (Hangul Celluloid) finish off the year at the network so thank you for listening and for your support in 2014!

AND
It would be the utmost honor to be taken by Human Dick Charlie or Bat Cho Charlie which sounds like Batshit Charlie which it kind of is but anyway welcome to the This Week In Sleaze Christmas Special of 2014 and it’s a filthy, cummy Charlie Cho Christmas as usual. Therefore we bring you the smelly brew of two of his cinematic classics: Take Me from 1991 and The Other Side Of Dolls from 1993. Click image or link below to access the show!

Because we had fun discussing colourful Wuxia pian last time (when The Ghost Hill was reviewed), we jump ahead a decade to Night Orchid by Chang Peng-yi, starring Adam Cheng and Brigitte Lin. Memorable color for the genre? We’ll see. Also, we get very sparse feedback regardless of the show on the network but when a listener request is put forth towards Taiwan Noir… a specialized, niche show, we listen. Andrew in California wrote in and told us of a movie that kind of scared him as a child. Through surreal scenes, spooky sound design, eerie music but largely, we’re also dealing with a kung fu movie here with hopefully, because it is called that, The Greatest Plot.

For our regular mix of something old, something new-ish, we turn to director Im Kwon-taek’s The General’s Son from 1990. The first of three examinations of brawling gangster turned politician Kim Doo-han and in the second half, Castaway On The Moon’s Jung Jae-young is an excellent police officer who’s also an excellent robber as it turned out in Ra Hee-chan’s Going By The Book from 2007. With Kenny B and Hangul Celluloid’s Paul Quinn. Click image or link below to access the show!

Podcast On Fire Network Bonus Episode 20: General’s Son 2 & 3
The ancient tradition of a ninja set in the modern world. An international ninja conspiracy which almost succeeds. Where the heights of violence are only equal to the depths of sexual degradation.

Alan Tam double bill, people! Normally an actor I detest and for part of this episode I will continue doing that but no doubt, Tam-ster, Tam-boy, Tammi was part of a thriving Hong Kong cinema and put in various vehicles requring a lot out of him. Among other things action and for part of this evening, that admiration will be put forth. We first look at Wong Jing’s gun-fu, gunplay, Singapore set The Last Blood from 1991 and in the second half we discuss Sammo Hung’s politically incorrect action-comedy Pantyhose Hero.

Japan On Fire 20: Sabu – Blessing Bell
Originally recorded as one long Japan On Fire 19, it is now re-edited into a shorter episode and second half of the long recording will feature in Japan On Fire 20.
This is part 2 of our series on director Sabu after covering his first two movies Dangan Runner and Postman Blues in episode 18 of Japan On Fire. His characters ran and rode on bikes amidst droll, quirky and absurd humour as well as drama in the first two and not a lot changes as we look at Monday from 2000. Does Sabu still evolve though?

Japan On Fire 19: Sabu – Monday
‘Three reports in and we’re still playing with the format, mixing and matching and certainly not setting any cut off point in terms of a movie being too old. Just have to be fairly new so for this episode, you’ll be hearing Paul Fox, Dr. David Lam and Kenny B talk The White Haired Witch Of Lunar Kingdom from 2014 and Floating City from 2012. One might or might not be a totally unneccssary re-thread of the novel The Bride With White Hair was based on (and it might even be a close remake) and the other is Aaaron Kwok putting away the outlandishly colored pants in favour of acting.

As one review hinted at, on this show we don’t pick the expected but rather what WE feel is worthy of a spotlight and the time has come for a new subject. His name is David Chiang. Yes, martial arts action superstar had a directing career so follow Kenny B and Tom K-W as we open up a new Director’s Series on David Chiang’s The Drug Addicts and A Mad World Of Fools.
