15 December 2011 knetan PODCASTS, The Director's Series, Nam Nai Choi 01:59:16 2 Comments

Welcome to the debut of The Director’s Series where we try and expand your knowledge (if you want it that is) of directors you may love via only one movie, may love via multiple movies but don’t know the name to put next to that love. Starting with Nam Nai-choi, the director of Story Of Ricky, Ken and David go back to the very beginning and examines Nam’s first two movies as director (at Shaw Brothers to boot). Expect talks of Nam himself, Danny Lee, Chin Siu-ho, Phillip Ko and Johnny Wang.

Adam Torel of Third Window Films join the trio after a barrage of heat and films at the Cannes Film Festival to talk of impressions of Thirst, the new film from Chan Wook-Park. Him AND Ken weigh in on the Casshern-war and issues of collecting limited editions, out of print dvd’s etc. gets a discussion where YOU the listener might finally find out if you’re insane, a collector or somewhere in between. The discussion doesn’t end just because the plugging starts either. Remember that.

As the Stoo is away (enjoying social life instead…Guitar Hero) for the opening of the show there will be no Storm Warriors gushing for our demoted host as Ken and Mike open an echoey (sorry about that) first 12 minutes with trailer discussion of hot movies coming out of Asia. Eventually some of them will reach the UK so the trio share their thoughts and covers the current cinema climate for Asian cinema in the UK. There’s also a feelgood story within in the plugging so join us the entire way through why don’t ya?

Podcast On Fire 47 – Oh when the Shaw’s come marching in… and off they go again?

What do you mean this picture has nothing to do with the show!!

Ken hosts just because he can and aside from discussing in depth our last movies watched and Stoo admitting he’s found his new Dragon Tiger Gate, the trio takes us through thoughts on if Shaw Brothers movies got any chance on the UK dvd market. It’s fun and illuminating, kidz. Read More

Podcast on Fire 46: The re-launch of Shaw Brothers dvd’s in Hong Kong… horse crap or dreams come true?

6 June 2009 Stoo PODCASTS, Podcast On Fire 1 Comment

youngcastCouldn’t decide what to use as cover art, so when in doubt…

The Magnificent Trio does need to discuss Silverhawk a little bit but rightfully time is spent on the only vaguely official announcement that Shaw Brothers movies are hitting dvd in Hong Kong again. With a list that will wet anyone’s appetite, is it safe to assume this boner-inducing list of movies will produce actual dvd releases? Mike also recommends a lot of Mainland Chinese Martial arts and a lot of movies in general while Stoo gets a title to go with his supreme Young And Dangerous-knowledge. Acronyms are fun.
