To be honest, Jocko, even more. This next one I'm looking at six movies all in a foreign language, plus wikipedia and deep googling research. And I do that every three weeks.
For the podcast on "The Mna From Hong Kong" I had to spend a fair while tracking down on-line rumours that the star of the film, Jimmy Wang-Yu is now a hitman and enforcer for the Taiwanese triads. I site hopped until I found a site for an English language newspaper in Taipei and searched their archives for references. Took hours, but it's the kind of detail that separates podcasts that review the same movies.
