For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Duel to the Death (1983), a Hong Kong wuxia film set in 16th-century China about a duel between the top swordsmen in China and Japan. Outside forces seek to rig the fight, and the supporters of the respective combatants attempt to intervene. Who will survive? I guess we’ll find out. Director is Tony Ching Siu-Tung, who is otherwise best-known for A Chinese Ghost Story (1987), which we have not yet watched.

After that is Glass Onion (2022), the sequel to Knives Out (2019). As with its predecessor, it is a murder-mystery comedy following the silly adventures of Southern detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) as he tries to uravel a web of intrigue surrounding a rich tech-bro and his douchebag friends. Hilarity and satire ensue. Director is Rian Johnson, the guy behind both the first film, as well as, Looper (2012), and, uhh, Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017). Let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
