I'm on the thing but will be active on the bird until I am not. Happy to follow and reconnect with you here. Especially you. I'll check in from time to time.

This works so well if you think of Hauer as some kind of spectral, supernatural entity.

A quick state-of-the-podcast update: we’re going monthly. The episodes are getting deeper, the research heavier, and naps are now officially part of production.

Full note below.

Ringo Lam’s The Adventurers, filmed on a global scale, plays like a warm-up for Hollywood: big scope, little to no soul. A messy shoot, rewrites, and delays didn’t help, but the problem runs deeper. Lam’s realism flickers early, then fades. He got better when he came home again.

Happy to support re-issues like this one from Eureka, even if my old VCD viewing already told me this was minor stuff. SHAOLIN BOXERS is a brisk 78-min Golden Harvest pickup. Competent, occasionally lively, but pure filler from the post-Bruce Lee product era.

The only review of a certain film on @letterboxd.social is mine. I choose to believe that makes me a pioneer, not a weirdo.

The mystique of the original, gone here.

Restrained but unthinkable, graphic violence. No restraint in the remake.

Awful.

I guess I would say, I don't know if it's him and just have a feeling his low profile means he's not interested in talking about his work. Am sure the labels and commentary experts have approached him.

Kenny B @sogoodreviews.bsky.social · 14d

I know he seemingly was on Twitter, sharinf his photography, but I never approached him.

Look for a new Podcast On Fire this weekend, on site and wherever you find podcasts.

And yes, even this stuff gets a deep dive.

Sounds like the commentaries are hit and miss. Am sure all are prepared well but not every speaker is for everyone. We weren’t asked :)

Finances don’t allow collecting them all plus Shout makes it a wee bit difficult for us foreign customers to buy from them.

Since the thing with the 4 just got announced, thought I’d catch up with the thing with the 3.

Reviewing the first half of Eureka’s Exact Revenge set, The Eunuch comes from a fresh voice in Teddy Yip, delivering sharp revenge beats and fierce swordplay. Pai Ying, in Dragon Inn reprisal mode, doesn’t disappoint. A lean, confident slice of early-70s Shaw wuxia.

Nam Nai-choi's Shaw Brothers actioner MEN FROM THE GUTTER is coming soon from Vinegar Syndrome. He wasn't just goo and gore in the vein Story Of Ricky. He knew genres, and this demonstrates it well.

Serious lack of Combo Cops, because that is a film for every year. That's how it positioned itself, to be legally designated a 2025 film also.

Good option for US customers while Europeans should wait for Arrow to announce theirs. That’s the beauty of the Cinema City/Golden Princess deal going global.

We wouldn’t be able to produce at the frequency of the high profile contributors but we’ve made enough connections to be mildly in demand at the rate we ARE able to produce at. Got a few unreleased, two being researched now and it’s the most material we’ve ever compiled.

Kenny B @sogoodreviews.bsky.social · 26d

You’re a sweet boy, Matthew. Thank you. You get cookies and love.

Kenny B @sogoodreviews.bsky.social · 26d

Not that anyone really cares about us yacking on discs, but we enjoy the challenge, and getting better. I also adopt a strict STFU attitude when it comes to reveals. They only happen when announcements do. Like Challenge Of The Lady Ninja.

Watched a ton I didn’t log because I don’t want to leave a trail of breadcrumbs in regards to blu ray and 4K physical stuff thingies involving talking I’m working on 😆

I think Nansun Shi even apologized when the film got foreign screenings with those subtitles in place.

Kenny B @sogoodreviews.bsky.social · 26d

While I can tolerate most old subtitle translations, on theatrical prints or carried over from those prints into optional subtitles like on early Hong Kong editions, the subs for Peking Opera Blues were legendarily and excessively bad back in the day. The film needed a touchup in many ways.

Was very pleased with our podcast on this and looking forward to the upgrade.
