Devil and Angel/恶棍天使 (2015) is the last film of Calum's Chineaboo Dream month and the last film we will cover on this podcast. Until we come back in September, that is.

Carry On Cruising (1962) is next on our Carry On Carrying On Month. Will a cruise beat the highs and excitement of last week's spying heist?
