An ode to all things Hong Kong action movie this week as the crew of the Waverider makes its way to the year 1997 to face off against a resurrected Genghis Khan. We discuss the impact of John Woo on modern action cinema, a touching moment from a jerk sorcerer, and great cameo deployment. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we take a peek at Batman’s suit from the upcoming film and expostulate on where we feel Hollywood has wronged the Caped Crusader in recent history. Finally, in our Letters Page, we answer a query about…podcasts! Lian Yu will live forever in our hearts, so why not get a commemorative t-shirt?
