This Week In Sleaze 56: Tightie Whitie Theatre – Liu Jai Home for the Intimate Ghosts & Unforgetful Holiday

The Category III movie scene had opportunistic filmmakers so when elegant and uniquely crazy movies such as Erotic Ghost Story hit or a Sex & Zen, you had everybody and their creepy uncles making films. But a veteran of the format, director Lam Yi-hung would prove to be skilled at stretching his dollars and he does so in 1991’s Liu Jai Home For The Intimate Ghosts. Featuring Charlie Cho as the dumbass version of a Lam Ching-ying. Also Charlie and Stuart Ong take club girls for a day on the sea, smoking and some nights on an island. An unforgetful holiday. With Sleazy K, The Great Lord Joshua Regal and King Who?

Podcast On Fire 272: Fantasia

A Lunar New Year comedy is perhaps not the best pick for an in depth discussion as they are often designed as harmless, audience friendly entertainment. They sometimes stand out, they sometimes don’t as the stars of the day ham it up and play dress up. But when Milkyway’s Wai Ka-fai brought 2004’s Fantasia to the Lunar New Year Screens, it was conceived and made with an eye towards beloved Hong Kong comedy of the past. Main target being the comedies of the of the Hui Brothers Michael, Sam and Ricky. So is this comedy only for the locals or can Westerners penetrate Fantasia? With Kenny B and the the crew of the East Screen West Screen podcast: Paul Fox and Kevin Ma.
