Description

Hong Kong Cinema expert Jeff Briggs joins the podcast to discuss recent Blu-ray and 4K releases.  We start off with a discussion of the surprising Oscar nominations for Michelle Yeoh and the cast of "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once." Then we go into a brief review of Jeff's personal experiences with Hong Kong Cinema and the release history on Laserdisc, DVD, and Blu-ray in the US.  Then we dive into a deep review of recent Arrow releases of the Shaw library on the terrific Shawscope Vol. 1 & Vol 2.  Next we review the excellent Criterion boxset of "Once Upon a Time In China" and Jeff explain why these films are a must-own for HK cinema fans.  Then we discuss the 2022 Blu-ray releases of "8 Diagram Pole Fighter," "Come Drink With Me," and the January 2023 releases of "Dragons Forever" on 4K.  We end with a look at some upcoming titles including "Gorgeous" Blu-ray and "Police Story 3: Supercop" 4K starring Michelle Yeoh and Jackie Chan.Purchase:Shawscope Vol. 1 Blu-rayShawscope Vol. 2 Blu-rayOnce Upon a Time In China Blu-ray8 Diagram Pole Fighter Blu-rayCome Drink With Me Blu-rayEverything, Everywhere All at Once 4KDragons Forever 4KPolice Story 3: Supercop 4K The Extras Facebook pageThe Extras Twitter Warner Archive & Warner Bros Catalog GroupOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.
