Episode 123: A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)

from Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast · host Genre Exposure

In this episode, after some extensive black magic rituals, Dustin has (mostly) recovered from his illness, and we take to the mics once again to continue our exploration of genre cinema. This time Jason's pick takes us back to the 80's (as usual) but specifically to Hong Kong to check out Tony Ching Siu-Tung's legendary A Chinese Ghost Story from 1987. Prepare yourself for a tale of two varied takes as our hosts weigh in quite differently on the spectacle. But before all that, we dish on some recent watches as Jason scratches off an unseen Sam Raimi flick and Dustin champions an odd slice of V-Cinema trash. And so much more!
