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.

Review: Naked Rose (1993)
The Category III explosion lead to some minor efforts. Then there’s this.
Full, written review available at sogoodreviews.com.
Video removed since Vimeo (who allow tags involving sexually suggestive content) removed my account. Despite no nudity in any reviews of Category III movies, it’s not worth the headache to repost old and new reviews on another service. Original posts in the Past Sleaze and Sleazy K’s Video Reviews-categories will remain as they do link to the written review but video content will be removed and any future Category III related reviews won’t have an accompanying video review.

What’s Korean Cinema? 14 – General’s Son & Going By The Book + BONUS EPISODE
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 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.
