Show Notes

CINEPUNX IS BACK WITH ANOTHER EXCITING, RIVETING, EXPLOSIVE and of course SWEATY EPISODE! Here. on episode 206 we burst into your eardrums to take our first tentative steps into the films of Ringo Lam, classic Hong Kong director. We begin this journey with two films in a thematic trilogy but for some reason skipping the second film in that trilogy by discussing City on Fire and School on Fire. While I have some experience with these kinds of films I had never explored Lam's specific filmography nor had Josh!

It was fun discussing these films but we are far from experts. If you check out the two podcasts on our network with our friend Samm Deighan, TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE and EROS + MASSACRE you will find some discussion of Lam as well as references to other writers who have covered his work. This represents a beginning of our journey but one I hope we return to soon. Of course we discuss our usual WACK AND ON TRACK gimmick and other shenanigans. ALSO, are you into anime? I am just getting into it and I wanna discuss it with folks who know more than me, get at me.

Thanks for listening! Please spend some time checking out our Patreon and of course, check out the family of shows available at Cinepunx.com.

You can hardly believe it but those stalwart boys of Cinepunx are back! On this explosive new episode we get into it on two classic films we should have seen already, but somehow had not: Apocalypse Now and Platoon. We specifically watched the redux edition of Apocalypse Now if that matters to you, which I had not seen before now. Despite some reservations about the style of these movies, some of the narrative decisions, and the method they were made, we were mostly blown away by these movie.

BACK TOGETHER AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! Hey friends, welcome to our new episode as we check in on the cinema of today! Basically, we are working to try and record more, and I would LOVE to blame Josh but in reality scheduling has been hard for both of us. Episode is still super good, so no worries, but yes, it is a bit of a catch up so we have something to put out. Still love you though
