Let’s start the we wish you a merry fucking by Chaaaaaarrrliiiie Cho-carol! In the spirit of Christmas and tradition, here on This Week In Sleaze we are talking two Charlie Cho movies as we say goodbye to this dreadful year that was 2020. In The Story Of Lady Sue, Charlie has a sweet pencil thin moustache and shoots energy bolts out of his hands and in Madam Fung Shen’s Lover, aka Demon Wet Nurse, his prowess is so mighty women literally die (or faint) after having sex with him. I think we’ve picked the right films for Christmas.  With Sleazy K and The Great Lord Joshua Regal. King Who? also stops by to share his thoughts on the films.
