Join James and Zack on this late release episode, while they discuss the continued dysfunction of the GOP House Conference in picking a Speaker of the House, as well as the inability of the extremes on both the Right and Left of the American political mind to understand the complexities of the current global issues and conflicts (Ukraine and Israel/Hamas/Gaza). Why is it that the extreme positions on both ends of the American politician system come together on Foreign Policy? And how dangerous are those positions for not only us but the rest of the world, should they ever be acted on? Join us as we give our listeners some food for thought to munch on.

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!

Its huge commercial success made everyone believe Jiang had found the way to dominate Chinese cinemas. In fact, his grip on the audience was so firm that even critics refrained from pricking, or if they did whine their voices must certainly have been drowned in the deafening sound of adulation. But with the advent of his new film "Gone with the Bullets", the previously muffled discontent of his antagonists have suddenly found an outlet. Starting from real estate veteran Ren Zhiqiang who spoke of his difficulties understanding the movie, more and more self-styled critics blamed their bewilderment on the director's ego. They believe that Jiang Wen has once again lost control in narcissistic self expression and this is going to cost him dearly in audience reception. One thing about the film that sets the critics on fire is the vast number of messages hidden in the story. In 1920, a Shanghai playboy Yan Ruisheng robbed and murdered a well-known prostitute, he was later caught and publicly executed. But that was not the whole story, before the case was closed, local media had explored and exposed almost every detail of the suspect and his victim. And after Yan's death, his crime was told in China's first full-length movie and once again became a product for public entertainment. "Gone with the Bullets" examines the relative truths in news reporting and filmmaking, his idea is best represented by a scene where his character vandalises a camera in a film set. This is just one example of Jiang's many implicit ideas. During 140 minutes of sitting, we also witness new money's attempts to become respectably "old", a politically married couple's advices to their daughter regarding the importance of concubines and the wisdom about men, plus a lot more metaphors and mockeries. All of these can be too much to digest, it certainly took me a second viewing to get an overview. And comprehension is not made easier by the varied forms of expression. Beginning with an extravagant beauty show featuring garish colours, loud music and way too many bared legs, the movie's narrative is continued in talk show, black and white silent film and stage play, all the while paying tribute to "The Godfather", "A Trip to the Moon", "2001: A Space Odyssey" and many others. This wealth of information and sometimes contradicting opinions drive the critics over the edge. Some of them refer to Jiang Wen's good upbringing and his other autheur films as evidence to suggest he is an elitist director and has no respect for the needs of the viewers. I think these critics' worries are not well grounded. First of all, one doesn't have to be an elite to be able to enjoy classic music and well-made films, and the reluctance to exercise one's brain should not be encouraged as normality. China's movie industry has already seen too much vulgarity made in the name of satisfying the audience. It is high time we stopped feeding the viewers with nonsensical comedies, it is the ultimate crime of disrespect a director can commit against his viewers. Jiang Wen, on the other hand, have consistently encouraged his fans to think with his challenging storylines, and the images and music in his films are always enjoyable. Any viewer in their right mind who refuses to wallow in the mud of vulgarity will be able to appreciate the healthy amount of his narcissism. The only question is, who would you rather be?

It is a commonly accepted norm that art-house films winning international awards don't sell very well in Chinese cinemas. Director Wang Quan'an's romantic drama "Tuya's Marriage" won the Golden Bear at the 2007 Berlin Film Festival, but its total box office revenues never exceeded the 2-million-yuan benchmark. China's film market has expanded exponentially since then, but 2 million yuan still remains a meager amount in the world of Chinese cinema. Director Diao Yinan's award-winning thriller "Black Coal, Thin Ice" is different. In just four days of its release, the latest winner of the best picture award in Berlin has earned more than 50 million yuan; not bad for an award-winning production in a market that is yet to learn how to appreciate films that do not feature a pounding soundtrack. This moderate success is mainly due to the result that the film was not promoted as an art-house production. Instead, it has been touted as another Chinese blockbuster, and the distributors were not lying when they promised an enchanting story. The crime thriller stars Liao Fan and Gui Lunmei. Liao Fan is the first Chinese screen performer to win the Berlin silver bear for best actor, for his role in this film as an ex-policeman. He is connected to Gui Lunmei's character of a young widow while investigating the murder case of the latter's husband. As Liao digs deeper into the case, he is also deeply attracted by the mysterious young woman. And since more murder cases revolve around the charming female, Liao realizes that his infatuation ultimately leads to a fatal outcome. It is a story with many twists and turns, but the complicated excitement never infringes on its art-house feel; for example, the story develops at a gracefully slow pace against a relatively quiet backdrop, and indulges quite a few eloquent long takes on casual yet highly symbolic objects, which constantly invites viewers to unravel the film's hidden messages. Just one day after its public release, numerous articles have already emerged analyzing the film in detail, utilizing everything from Freudian to feminist theories. Liao Fan's acting skills have also been widely appreciated. Since Jiang Wen's 2010 movie "Let the Bullets Fly", Chinese viewers have not seen many masculine figures on the big screen. Liao's profile fills that vacuum. In contrast, Gui Lunmei is her usual quiet self. Normally the poor acting of some Chinese actresses renders their beauty pointless, but not this time. Many Chinese headlines have celebrated the film's release by claiming that this is the beginning of a golden age for Chinese art-house films and directors. "Black Coal, Thin Ice" will be followed by Police Diary by Ning Ying, Coming Home by Zhang Yimou and rather conveniently The Golden Era by Xu Anhua. At present, "Black Coal, Thin Ice" is doing well at the box office, especially compared to its predecessors of the same genre. But still it falls far behind average Chinese films of our time, so I wouldn't be too optimistic too soon.
