No new Podcast On Fire this weekend (editing in process, computer trouble etc) but I urge you all to listen to Jacob Feltner’s 100TH EPISODE of Podcast Without Honor And Humanity or simply give Big Jake a pat on the back for a job well done establishing such a KEY presence in the Asian cinema podcasting community.

He inspires me daily and I was glad and honored to be a guest on this episode talking Tsui Hark’s The Blade (which is the second of three reviews, others being Satoshi Kon’s Perfect Blue and Kinji Fukasaku’s Battle Royale, in this epic big 100).

Podcast Without Honor And Humanity 100 – Perfect Blade Royale

Our Scottish team of Stoo and Andy are in the Vincent Zhao-years of the Once Upon A Time In China-series as parts 4 and 5 are discussed in this episode! Our audio equipment goes a little screw-ball-scramble towards the second half but the worst is edited out.

The Scottish edition of Podcast On Fire with Stoo and Andy carry on with their Once Upon A Time In China coverage, with towel- and flaming arrows action from Jet Li and Donnie Yen. Which can only mean parts 2 and 3 are up for discussion. The audio is a little wonky, but that thankfully should be the last…the last of the wonk.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Hong Kong cinema trendsetter and legend Tsui Hark (the man behind Zu: Warriors From The Magic Mountain, Once Upon A Time In China, Blade, Peking Opera Blues plus much more… not enough can be said so let’s not say too much!) who was kind enough to share with us his thoughts on the past and the now, including on Detective Dee: Mystery Of The Phantom Flame (available now on UK dvd and Blu Ray).

The moment has come and the waiting is over, The Magnificent Trio that is Podcast On Fire re-unites for the first time in 8 months! Mike Banner sacrifices sleep to join Stoo and Ken for a bit of formal and informal chat about various bits and pieces including Last Movies Watched covering the inappropriate Happy Hour, City Of Violence and Mike has gone on his patented Shaw run! Mike also gives us a glimpse into his new mostly POF free and cold life but it comes with the advantages of meeting a legendary Hong Kong director on the streets of Seoul. Dance routines are a big disadvantage to life in Korea though…

In the MEMBERS ONLY section (only a FREE registration away on our forums), we babble on for  an additional 3 minutes! So riveting it had to be cut.
