God of Gamblers with Will Sloan

Episode 9: The Wong Jing Experience, Part 6
<p>In this Thanksgiving episode, John and Samm are running the gauntlet through three of Wong Jing’s gambling and crime films from the late ’80s: Born to Gamble (1987), yet another tale of a gambler (Natalis Chan) deceiving his prospective love interest (the divine Joyce Godenzi) to try to win her heart; Doubles Cause Troubles (1989), where two cousins (Maggie Cheung and Carol Cheng) are forced to live together for an inheritance, but they get swept into a plot involving gangsters, a secret code, and crooked cops; and Casino Raiders (1989), where Andy Lau and Alan Tam play two professional gamblers on the wrong side of the law who are forced to contend with nefarious Japanese businessmen as one of them falls in love with a wealthy heiress (Idy Chan). While Born to Gamble and Doubles Cause Troubles are comedies, Casino Raiders is more of a melodrama, but all three represent variations on how some of Jing’s common themes developed throughout the ’80s… which we are thankfully almost finished with.</p> <p>Our suffering is legendary, but it is for you, dear listeners. This also isn’t really a Thanksgiving episode, but we wanted to give you something to play loudly to get your relatives out of the house.</p> <p>Thanks for listing and please follow <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/sammdeighan">Samm</a> and <a href="https://www.patreon.com/oscarbate">John</a> over at Patreon for more!</p> <p>The post <a href="https://cinepunx.com/perverse-permission-episode-9-the-wong-jing-experience-part-6/">Perverse Permission Episode 9: The Wong Jing Experience, Part 6</a> appeared first on <a href="https://cinepunx.com">Cinepunx</a>.</p>
