In episode 10 of That movie sounds gay, I'll be looking at Five Venoms (1978).

It's time to finally talk about at Chang Cheh (again)...
Five Venoms is probably one of Chang Cheh's better known movies, and was responsible for launching the career of a prolific group of actors known colloquially as the Venom Mob.
In this episode, I'll be discussing the background of the Venom mob, costume choices, suffering with a homoerotic edge, strong male friendships, and plenty more.

In episode 9 of That movie sounds gay, I'll be looking at Ichi the Killer (2001).

Takashi Miike's ultraviolent interpretation of Hideo Yamamoto's manga has been no stranger to controversy, with critics and audiences split on whether it is brilliant or just nasty. In this episode, the focus will mostly be on the film's portrayal of sexuality. I'll be comparing the way it handles its themes to the manga, as well as taking a look at the bisexual, sadomasochistic yakuza enforcer, Kakihara.

In episode 8 of That movie sounds gay, I'll be looking at Promare (2019).

Promare is a film full of bustling action, fire, explosions, and gays...?  

This episode will be a bit of a look at Studio Trigger in general, but also how the film itself deals with themes of outsiders and oppressed groups. Plus, whether Lio and Galo were really just meant to be 'good friends', and whether or not that matters.

In episode 7 of That movie sounds gay, I'll be looking at Midnight Cowboy (1969).

Widely considered one of the best American films of all time, Midnight Cowboy is iconic. The film shows New York and loneliness and sexuality, all without flinching. At the time of its release, it pushed boundaries and it still remains the only x-rated film to win the best picture Oscar.

In this episode, I'll be taking a look at how the film handles sexuality, masculinity, and also some of the behind the scenes drama that makes it so interesting to look at from a gay pov.

In episode 6 of That movie sounds gay, I'll be looking at The Killer (1989).

Like Chang Cheh, John Woo is an important director in HK film history, and although there's no mistaking a John Woo movie for a Chang Cheh movie, the two filmmakers have a few things that connect them. They've worked together, their films generally focus on romanticised ideas of brotherhood and violence, and... they seem kind of gay.

Although this episode is focussing on The Killer, I'll also be talking about John Woo in general, his influences, and of course, heroic bloodshed.

In episode 5 of That movie sounds gay, I'll be looking at The New One-Armed Swordsman (1971).

Finally, a chance to talk about Chang Cheh...
The New One-Armed Swordsman, starring David Chiang and Ti Lung, is maybe not one of Chang Cheh's most famous titles, but it is one that has felt like it would be a crime to overlook for this podcast. In this episode, as well as talking about the actual movie, I'll also be looking at Chang Cheh as a whole, his filmmaking aesthetics, his favourite actors, and of course, close male friendships.
