In this episode, we return to our vault of listener suggestions to cool down from our focus on made-for-tv movies. Echoing back to our block on Westerns and Dustin’s recent foray into Hong Kong cinema, we’re taking a look at Jiang Wen’s Let the Bullets Fly from 2010. Dustin weighs some shoddy CGI as the price of admission for the comedy that follows. Jason shares his undying devotion to Chow Yun-fat. Michael lays out some of the differences between Hong Kong cinema and films from mainland China. But before all that, the Shaw Bros boxset round-up concludes plus Michael and Dustin bond over their admiration for Elisha Cuthbert. And so much more!
