On Episode 17, Pete & Seb hit The Selwyn for an 80s crime thriller double bill: FIRST Robert Forster and Nancy Kwan must evade a gang of criminals out for blood in WALKING THE EDGE. Then low budget Martial Arts legend Leo Fong is a San Francisco private detective who infiltrates a deranged religious cult in LOW BLOW. 

Nancy Kwan was one of the first Asian Hollywood stars I can remember seeing. She broke out in the hit movies "The World of Suzie Wong" and "Flower Drum Song" in the 1960s. Over the next several decades, Nancy worked in front and behind the camera in over 50 productions.  It was a real pleasure to speak with Nancy, she is as charming and lovely as ever. I really think you'll enjoy hearing from her. You can learn more about her interesting life in her new memoir, The World of Nancy Kwan, available everywhere. Get a copy for yourself and perhaps your parents, too!

My interview with actress Nancy Kwan, author of "The World of Nancy Kwan"

Welcome to the hellscape that is 2025! We are back in the cave for episode 237, this time looking at two films from 1973, both shot largely in the Phillipines and both featuring dangerous women! We start off with "Devil Woman" which is known by several different names (and also listed with a variety of release dates) which focuses on a magical woman with snakes for hair who is seeking revenge on the people that killed her family. It's low-budget fun but not "good" by any metric. We follow that with "Wonder Women" fom show-favorite direct Robert Vincent O'Neil and with a stellar cast lead by Ross Hagen and Nancy Kwan. The plot revolves around an evil scientist with a money-making scheme to transplant healthy body parts from unwilling donors onto the bodies of rich people. Along comes agent Hagen who settles everybody's hash! It's a blast from beginning to end! Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.

On this edition of Parallax Views, journalist Albert Lanier, a multi-time guest on the show, just started a Substack called The Final Cut. This new venture from Lanier is a return to his roots. Although he's become known, especially to listeners of this show, for his thoughts on true crime cases and politics, in a previous life he was a film critic/movie reviewer. He even contributed to Ain't It Cool News! And over the years he had an opportunity to meet Hollywood players ranging from Nancy Kwan to Roger Corman. In this conversation, Lanier and I will discuss his work writing about cinema and his experiences going to film festivals. But we'll also discuss his thoughts on the state of the movie industry and the state of film criticism as well. In particular, we will look at the decline of film criticism and what phenomena such as film-focused, anti-woke, culture war Youtube channels have on film criticism as well as the impact of Movie Tok on film criticism and how we understand and appreciate cinema. We'll also discuss the cycles of the film industry, the importance of overseas markets to Hollywood, and much, much more.

Flower Drum Song was a benchmark in the the Golden Age of Hollywood grandeur and musical beauty -- and it was very racist by 2023 standards. We unpacked this Ro with stand-up comedian, actress, activist, and blazer of all trails Margaret Cho (Fire Island, Good Trouble, Hacks, Flight Attendant). Cho and Dino-Ray Ramos talk at length about the Rodgers and Hammerstein movie 1961 musical based on the 1958 Broadway musical on -- which was based on 1957 novel of the same name by the Chinese American author Chin Yang Lee. The Oscar-nominated film gave us memorable performances including "I Enjoy Being A Girl" by the legend Nancy Kwan -- but also a lot of blatant, heavy handed, gong-banging Orientalism. The Asian representation in this film is remarkable and a watershed moment for the Asian American diaspora in 1961 Hollywood as it was a majority Asian cast... it also has a scene where an Asian woman's teeth is inspected to make sure she would make a good wife. Cho admits that this is one of her favorite movies but also realizes its many problems. In this episode, we examine the Flower Drum Song and how it may be one of the most critical moments in cinematic history with problems that the Asian American diaspora are still facing in the 21st century. === Problematic Fave is presented by DIASPORA and is created, hosted and produced by Dino-Ray Ramos. The series is also produced by Sanjay Sharma of Marginal MediaWorks and edited by Brian Aguilar.

Nancy Kwan had two major hits right in the beginning of the decade, and then what? Bart & Jenna investigate the bizarre twists and turns of her 60s career and the pitfalls of being a Chinese actor in the dominantly white world of Hollywood.

Marketing is hard. It's even more challenging when you're the lone marketer. You need to strategize, coordinate, tactically execute, and organize. In other words, you have to be a multi-task player. On the Marketing Spark podcast, Nancy Kwan talks about life as a solo marketer. One of her biggest pieces of advice: "Don't become a yes person. Be comfortable saying no." Nancy says that solo marketers need to be strategic and ask tough questions before committing to anything.

On this review episode of The Outlaw Nation, John Rocha welcomes his cohost on The CineFiles and Bruce Lee aficionado Steve Morris to do a spoiler review for ESPN's new 30 for 30 documentary, Be Water. The film covers the years 1960-9172 in Bruce Lee's life when he was developing his philosophy for life and the martial arts that would later come to be known as Jute Keen Do. The film from director Bao Nguyen includes interviews with Lee's widow, daughter, brother, fellow students, and former associates including producer Raymond Chow and actress Nancy Kwan. John and Steve break down what they liked about the documentary, if Nguyen's approach worked for them and what they felt might have been missing from the documentary.
