    Fe-Biao-ary Part II: The Return of Billy Biao Biao! The Iceman Cometh (1989) and A Kid from Tibet (1991) - Episode 116

    Kevin, Ben, and Chris return to the fun topic of Billy Biao Biao to discuss 1989's The Iceman Cometh and 1991's A Kid from Tibet. These are two vastly different films compared to most of Yuen Biao's filmography, figuratively and actually a departure from the Three Dragons' bread and butter. The Iceman Cometh is a pseudo-Highlander action film with time traveling warriors, and A Kid from Tibet is Yuen Biao's only directorial effort. Does Yuen Biao measure up to his brothers: international phenom Jackie Chan and Hong Kong legend Sammo Hung? Listen and find out! Chanuary walked so Fe-Biao-ary could run. And don’t worry, when autumn hits, Hungtober awaits. Please rate us a 5/5 on Apple, Spotify, or Podbean, and review us on Apple.  Our episode catalogue: https://searchersfilmpodcast.podbean.com/

    "Fe-Biao-ary" Part I: Rosa (1986) and On the Run (1988) - Episode 115

    This is it... the moment some of you Hong Kong cinema fans have all been manifesting. Welcome to "Fe-Biao-ary," now officially locked into your cinematic calendars. This episode is a double bill — or as we like to joke, a “Biao Biao” (we had to brush up on our Cantonese for that heavy hitting joke). In episode 115, The Searchers are pairing Rosa with On the Run, two tonally opposite films united by one constant: Yuen Biao and his effortlessly compelling chemistry with his leading ladies. Rosa leans into lighter, more relaxed comedy territory with Biao's co-lead singer songwriter and actor Lowell Lo. On the Run swerves sharply into brooding, arthouse intensity — the 1988 cult classic from Alfred Cheung that absolutely refuses to pull its punches. Check both out on home video at 88films.  Chanuary walked so FeBiaoary could run. And don’t worry, when autumn hits Hungtober awaits.

    A Christmas Carol (1984) - Episode 110

    A very Merry Christmas to you all! We’ve reached the big day before the new year, and what better choice of a film to cover than Clive Donner’s A Christmas Carol from 1984? For this one, Kevin’s bringing on an old friend of his, Alan, to join us for the show. Through such subtlety in performance, cinematography, and the natural cadence of the screen translation of Charles Dickens’ beloved novella, we take you through the delivery of this single iteration out of a very many and tell you why it truly might be the cream of the crop. A miser’s journey to resurgence and renewal that’s only so fitting for the reason for the season. So without further ado, join us, everyone, for a joyous occasion. Don’t you dare say, “Bah! Humbug!” Or else from under your feet, we’re pulling the rug! Remember to send us your mailbags at thesearcherspodcast@gmail.com! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

    Eastern Condors (1987) - ep 109

    This week, Eastern Condors takes us back into familiar territory with an artist we never tire of revisiting: Sammo Hung. After covering Mr. Nice Guy and Encounters of the Spooky Kind earlier in 2025, we arrive at our fourth Sammo film on the show—but this time the laughs are traded for gunfire, jungle sweat, and brutal combat.   A stark departure from kung fu comedy and supernatural hijinks, Eastern Condors finds the magnetic Hong Kong giant tackling a grim war-action epic, showcasing yet another facet of his remarkable versatility as both performer and filmmaker. Dirty, dangerous, and unrelentingly physical, this is Sammo operating in full men-on-a-mission mode.   Joining us for the discussion is again Nick Langdon, helping us break down the film’s intensity, themes, and place within Sammo’s ever-expanding legacy.   Is this the last time Sammo Hung marches onto the show? Not a chance. And stick around—next episode, we’re ringing in the season with A Christmas Carol starring George C Scott. Thanks, as always, for listening—and locking in.
