Christmas Double Bill At The Podcast On Fire Network!
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!

Podcast On Fire 190: Christmas Special 2014AND
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!

Taiwan Noir 16: Night Orchid & The Greatest Plot
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.

The Golden Ninja Podcast 5: To Catch A Thief VS Ninja Thunderbolt
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. Where the ninjas nerves of steel meet their match in a ruthless bid for power. Click image or link below to access the show!

Podcast On Fire 189: The Last Blood & Pantyhose Hero
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.

The Director’s Series 14: David Chiang – The Drug Addicts & A Mad World Of Fools
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.

Podcast On Fire 187: Face/Off & Hong Kong 1941
Podcast On Fire may focus on the known and the big guns out of Hong Kong cinema, classics or not, but no one’s demanding the programming to be strict or they’ll tune out so for this episode, based on the suggestion of our guest, we switch it up and head to part of the Hollywood filmography of a Hong Kong director. Namely John Woo and his third outing in America from 1997 called Face/Off. For our second review, we’re following among other things an actor on top of his game but not quite ready to be embraced by the public. Still, didn’t stop awards juries from giving Chow Yun-fat accolades for his performance in Leung Po-chih’s 1984 war drama Hong Kong 1941. With Kenny B and special guest Dr. Stan Glick.
