Podcast On Fire 143: Tom On Fire aka Taste Better Here Or In The West?

The so far quite much beloved Tom On Fire segment returns in a big bad way as Tom brings the following topics to the table that you can follow along with and discuss at home:

*How, as we’ve got older and our tastes for cinema in general have changed has this changed the way we approach Asian cinema?

*Do we feel in anyway certain performers or directors get TOO much attention in the West, or too much attention from fans in general ?

Also featuring a possibly controversial review of The Raid: Redemption, Daniel Wu and Kevin Spacey as superheroes and Kenny B watched a Korean movie?
