What You Talking

In this episode Chi-Hung joins us to talk about "Carol the Conqueror", family, wrestling, and the origin of the Burbaes (fans of Run The Burbs).  As always, don't miss it!   

We bring back our episode deep dive format for our favourite episode of Season 1 on Run The Burbs, Raccoon Fever.  It does get a bit spoiler-y on the rest of the season but we talk about a lot of the behind the scenes things we found out from Andrew's IG Lives over the weeks.   As always, Don't miss it!

We're back at it again.  In this episode we talk about "Run The Burbs" which is Andrew Phung's (aka Kimchee on Kims) new show.   It's been called the spiritual successor to Kims and there are a lot of great things about it.  We talk about the 5 top reasons why (whether you're a Kims fan or not) you should watch it. Also we chat briefly about Episode 1 (Blockbuster).. so there are some spoilers ahead!

In our Season 4 Finale, we try to put together "The Story of Ins Choi" that led to the end of Kim's.  We also time jump 3-4 months later and talk about things like Strays, Run The Burbs, and all the new projects from our favourite people.   Finally we answer, What is the legacy of Kim's and the big question, what's happening with "What You Talking" now that Kim's is over? We'd love to hear your thoughts.  Until then, thank you for listening!

This episode we have a special co-host, Chi-Hung (the @kimbits416 community lead, but also @chiofsteel on twitter) a man who doesn't get enough credit for the hardwork he does! He brings on two HQ-friends - Eugene (@eybyon on twitter) and Emily (@emoleechen on twitter), to chat about Asian representation in North American Entertainment.   A very insightful episode with some great stories.

Fan-Favourites Jay and Kara are back with special guest Maria (Mike's sister).  Together we discuss "Friends and Family" as well as: How we felt about Season 5 as a whole? Did we like this episode as the finale? What was the legacy of Kim's Convenience?

After a long hiatus, we are back!  (Thanks for waiting) In this episode our friend Mel (@Colour66 on Twitter, also known as the #QueenOfCBC) joins us to talk about the frequently asked questions about the end of Kim's Convenience.   We recorded this back in May before all the reveals from some of the cast, but Mel breaks down how she came to her own conclusions (which are spot on).
