Hey film buds, We all love a good laugh. We always have. Comedy is one of the oldest genres that humans have ever understood in our plays and stories. To celebrate AAPI Heritage this week, we decided to look at Comedies made by AAPI Filmmakers, and some of the history of AAPI people in film. Introduction - 00:00Opening ChatThoughts on ComedyAAPI History: Sessue Hayawaka - 10:46To begin our AAPI discussion, we start with some history on Japanese film star Sessue Hayakawa. Our first film is Slacker-Sports Comedy Ping Pong Playa. Co-Written by its star, it often bucks most media portrayals of AAPI people. We'll discuss Slacker characters, what we like about Comedy, and how it also reflects the time in which it was made. Ping Pong Playa - 23:43Review and DiscussionSecond, we'll review and discuss the Martial Arts Comedy The Paper Tigers. The film is a labor of love, that took years to realize. We'll talk about the production history, compare it with other Martial Arts films, and discuss the similarities between Ping Pong Playa and The Paper Tigers.The Paper Tigers - 35:55Production History/BackgroundReview and DiscussionOur final discussion will focus on three segments. First, we'll dive into What We're Watching.

Get ready for Episode 2! You better have done your homework, which was to watch Jessica Yu's Ping Pong Playa from 2007, starring Jimmy Tsai. This week, Ada learns that Ping Pong Playa is about more than the comedy of grown men wearing short shorts, but also the humor of Asian American men who overcompensate in attempts to prove their masculinity in a society that often desexualizes them. Brian learns that when Ada says she related to the scenes with the immigrant parents, it's partially about the sonic authenticity of the Chinese American accents (which generally gets messed up a lot), but mostly about that familiar tone of voice when you get yelled in Mandarin for being ridiculous. Ada also learns who Manu Ginóbili is. Saturday School is a podcast where we teach your unwilling children about Asian American pop culture history. First season will be about Asian American film comedies. 10 episodes will be released every Saturday at 8am, which is when we were forced to go to Chinese school as kids.
