Content Warning: Suicide Mention

Whatever you do, if townspeople seem a little scared of an abandoned temple, DON'T SPEND THE NIGHT THERE! Oh well, if that isn't enough of a warning maybe this episode on A Chinese Ghost Story (1987) with the authors of The New Essential Guide to Hong Kong Movies, Rick Baker and Ken Miller, will impart the warning better! We unpack this classic of Hong Kong cinema, from the incredible Leslie Cheung's performance to just how explosive exorcisms can get.

What is Moviestruck?

Moviestruck: A podcast about movies and the people who watch them

Every week host Sophia Ricciardi is joined by a different guest to talk shop about a different movie. The catch? Every episode's movie is the guest's choice, and any movie is on the table. From Sky High to Ben-Hur, we explore the movies we love, and why we love to watch them.
