Remember the summer of 1990 when two action-drama and romance classics came out and that you were left devastated after each one? If you did (and even if you didn’t), here’s your chance to relive some of that through Kenny B’s and Tom K-W’s discussion on Benny Chan’s A Moment Of Romance and John Woo’s Bullet In The Head. Dr. Lam is also at hand, providing two separately recorded reviews and check out his show specific doodles in the show links! Pardon the audio quality of these two segments.

Bringing the old forum exclusive Members Only section to the bonus episodes, for this first look into its archive, we go back to Podcast On Fire 10 and the additional 20 minutes Stoo, Kenny B and Mike Banner cut from the main show. Among other things contained in these bits is random banter, friendly ribbing containing topics such as who’s the better Twin out of Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung, does Ken have any fan website and we look at the still amazing you tube clip of Andy Lau leaping off stage to aid a fan who’s being roughed up by security guards.

One of the early episodes lost to some website issues, we’re re-posting it while at the same time adding the cut conversations and outtakes previously only available on the forum as a BONUS EPISODE. So get the full context with Stoo, Kenny B and Mike Banner as they talk of suiitable introductory movies when it comes to Hong Kong cinema, books, Taiwanese war movies and an hour in a tipsy Mike gets abuse.

We’ve reached the era containing the myth of director Patrick Yau and his three movies at Milkyway that he barely directed but before Tom K-W tells us of his London trip watching Ann Hui’s A Simple Life and Ken re-examines Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend. Latter half features the review of the hard to explain, slapstick and uplifting comedy triad drama The Odd One Dies from Milkyway but rest assured, there’s no confusion as Tom elevates his usual A-game and delivers a fantastic examination of the Yau/To/Wai/Milkyway team product… the latest Milkyway Treasure?

This week, Kenny B and Tom K-W go in depth on the upcoming show Taiwan Noir, Tom contemplates doing a Ken-free commentary (cue cheer from the audience!) as well as covering a film from the director who was kidnapped by Kim Jong-il! The week’s main review is ‘Hong Kong Top Gun’ (kinda) aka King Lee’s Proud & Confidence starring Andy Lau. Somewhat homoerotic behaviour (which is healthy of course) follows with lots of Dick coming your Wei and even Scud logically finds a place in the discussion!

This week you get the regular network updates plus Ken reveals a little about the creation of two new shows. Jackie Chan’s 1911 get the Hong Kong Dave treatment while Tom’s pick of the week, Benny Chan’s Shaolin, gets the Ken treatment who’s still fuming over New Police Story.
