Michael Winner didn’t just make violent movies and try to live only on steak tartare. He also made this comedy about the Golden Age of Hollywood. Won Ton Ton the Dog Who Saved Hollywood is one of the mid 70s movies that tries to put as many cameos in as possible and hopes that you won’t notice the movie isn’t all that great. Why am I doing an episode about it? Because these kind of movies are the ones I get obsessed about.

Jing hun feng yu ye is a 1982 Hong Kong horror film that steals liberally from several movies, most notably Halloween. Known as Devil Returns, it’s not available commercially outside of the gray market. Yet even though it’s taking so many things from so many films, it has a pretty even handed discussion of post traumatic stress and postpartum depression within it, as well as an awesome karaoke scene.

This episode gets into all four of the movies in a short burst that will help you decide whether you should buy this set.
