Episode description

Special guest Ali joins us to discuss a couple of Hong Kong tales of legendary proportions. We check out Legend of the Mountain (1979), directed by King Hu, and The Legend of Wisely (1987), directed by Teddy Robin. A period supernatural epic and a rollicking Indiana Jones-esque adventure story. This is some trip to the East.

We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films this week. For Legend of the Mountain, you can then skip ahead to the 1:17:42 mark to avoid spoilers, and spoiler territory ends around 1:50:34 for The Legend of Wisely.

Theme music: "The Cold Light of Day" by HKM. Check out HKM on #SoundCloud or Bandcamp

Our closing music this week comes courtesy of The Briefest Echo of Lemon and their track "First Night" (K. Darke, T. Morton, J. Ramsden, A. McKinnon) © 2024
