Two Asian Blokes Podcast is back for a new year and we have a new years resolution - less slop for 2026! Well, three out of four ain't bad. We're kicking off the year with four big reviews. 🎮 Return to Silent Hill (2026) – A new adaptation of Silent Hill 2, directed by Christophe Gans, who also helmed the 2006 Silent Hill movie.

Rush Hour (1998) Extended audio - Jackie Chan-uary

Two Asian Blokes ·

2026/01/29

We’re wrapping up Jackie Chan-uary with a fan favourite: Rush Hour (1998). With a fourth Rush Hour film reportedly in development, now’s the perfect time to revisit this iconic 90s action comedy that paired Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker for the first time. In this review, we break down why Rush Hour worked so well - its chemistry, action, and cultural impact and how its racial humour reflects the tensions of 1990s America. It’s a movie that helped launch Jackie Chan into Hollywood superstardo...

City Hunter (1993) Extended audio - Jackie Chan-uary

Two Asian Blokes ·

2026/01/22

Jackie Chan-uary continues with City Hunter (1993) - a live-action film adaptation of the popular manga of the same name, written and illustrated by Tsukasa Hojo. This is indeed a strange addition to Jackie Chan's library, with over-the-top cartoony action and humour befitting of its origins in Japanese manga. Does this movie succeed as an adaptation or does it stand on its own as a fun Jackie Chan movie? Let's discuss. If you enjoy content like this, maybe you'd like to check out ou...

2026/01/15

We're continuing Jackie Chan-uary with Drunken Master II (1994), or The Legend of Drunken Master as it was called in the West. This is probably Jackie Chan's last Chinese masterpiece and paved the way for his success in the West - ironic considering the nationalist themes running through this movie. But still, who doesn't enjoy watching Wong Fei-hung drink a bunch of industrial grade alcohol before kicking some hanjian butt?

Armour of God (1986) extended audio - Jackie Chan-uary

2026/01/07

Happy Jackie Chan-uary everyone! In this series we are taking a look at four of our favorite movies from one of our favorite martial artists/actors - the one and only Jackie Chan! Starting with Armour of God (1986) - Jackie Chan's first attempt to do an Indiana Jones movie. And just like an Indiana Jones movie, there are some bits that would cause Disney to put one of their trigger warnings up before the start of the movie. Y'all know what I'm talking about.

In this week's episode of Two Asian Blokes, we finally review Wicked: Part 1 and Wicked: For Good. Why, you might ask? Well, these two movies happen to be directed by a man that has been mentioned on the podcast quite a bit, usually in a negative context - Jon M. Chu. So what did we think of this series of movies, which are in a genre of film that we're not huge fans of, based on source material that we have little interest in, directed by a man of whom we are not fans? Well, you'll hav...

In this week's episode of Two Asian Blokes, we took a look at a couple of hot South Korean Netflix titles that explore politics, deception, and systemic corruption for the sake of saving face... not really, though. First we take a look at Good News, a dark comedy political thriller directed by Byun Sung-hyun (Kill Boksoon), starring Hong Kyun and Sul Kyung-gu. In the 1970s, hijackers take over a Japanese flight. They demand a course to Pyongyang, but a mysterious mastermind devises an absurd ...

First of all, apologies for the poor sound quality. Danh recorded with the wrong mic. Big thank you to Rizky for salvaging it as best he could. In this episode of Two Asian Blokes, we talk about a bunch of recent monster movies. First we review Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, a movie about a horrible monster, but actually he is misunderstood and handsome and has generational trauma. Next we review Predator Badlands, a movie about a remorseless killing machine, but actually he's brave an...

In this episode of Two Asian Blokes, we’re talking all things Timo Tjahjanto — Indonesia’s master of mayhem and one of the most exciting action directors working today. We kick things off by chatting about the recent announcement that Timo will be directing The Beekeeper 2, starring none other than Jason Statham. What does this pairing mean for the future of Western action cinema, and how might Timo’s brutal, kinetic style translate to a Hollywood sequel? Next, we dive into our review of Nobo...

In the first of a series of guest episodes we have leading up to Halloween, we invited Nick Sheist of the Bad Movies We Love podcast onto the show to watch and share his thoughts on Takashi Miike's 2012 thriller Lesson of Evil. Based on Yusuke Kishi's novel of the same name, this film has been criticised for its debatable taste in the handling of sensitive topics - if you know you know. Because of this it was banished to the realm of cult cinema like many Miike joints before it. B...

We chat about its legacy, the unsettling tone, and how it stacks up against modern horror. Thavy then shares his first impressions of Silent Hill f, having just started playing the game.
