Awesome podcast!! Thanks for this! But, don’t know what you call this…but somehow, the “s” sound is too prominent…
Great Podcast!!!
I’m glad I’ve fund your podcast through “East Screen West Screen”.
I don’t think i’ve ever heard such a extensive podcast on a single movie, yet learned so much about the genre and the local culture of the time period.
As I was growing up, I haven’t really started watching HK cinema until the late 80’s, and have never even heard of HKG, so this was very informative.
I just watched the film on Tudou over the last a couple night, and it sure bring back some memories. Now i see the origins of “Young & Danderous”!
Thanks again, awesome!!!
Thanks so much Clawlesstiger and Jisong! We’ll try to figure out what’s making the “s” sound. I hope you enjoy the rest of the podcasts!
