Russia's invasion of Ukraine prompted a former star of 90210 to share her spoken word fantasy about being Vladimir Putin's mother; the new Batman movie starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz is chock full of daddy issues.

When the coronavirus summarily shut down the world in 2020, we were all sent home to figure how to live, work and play from a distance.  Within weeks millions learned to use digital platforms to connect to work, family, school, and friends. Streaming services like Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix benefited greatly.  In one year, subscriptions during the pandemic rose over 30% and increased to 1 billion subscribers worldwide. On this episode, guest host Dr. Melanye Price chats with her favorite content viewing partner, twin sister, Melynda Price, along with cultural critic Jeff Yang, who's co-host of the podcast, They Call Us Bruce and author of RISE: A Pop History of Asian America from the ‘90s to Now.  Yang also shares his unique perspective on why there's a lack of Asian American representation in the media today. We're taking a closer look at streaming in the American mainstream on this episode of I SEE U.

“You have to choose to become Asian American. I went from just being a Korean kid in Silicon Valley to belonging to this community. I want that to mean something.” Phil Yu is best known for AngryAsianMan.com - THE website about Asian American perspectives. But he's really not as angry as people think? Phil's a writer, speaker, and host. AngryAsianMan.com is one of the most widely read / longest-running sites covering news, culture, and perspectives from the Asian American community. Phil ALSO hosts the podcasts “They Call Us Bruce” and “All The Asians On Star Trek” (a new personal favorite). And in January 2022, Phil's book “RISE: A Pop History of Asian American from the Nineties to Now” comes out. Phil's been featured in The NY Times, NPR, the LA Time, CNN, WaPo, Gawker, and more. He's won awards for his work AND worked in documentaries, film commentaries, and web series. Honestly, Phil's been the guest we've wanted since we started our podcast, as he is one of the reasons why we do what we do. Phil was doing this before most of us, and continues to trailblaze for the rest of us. AND he's a total nerd that wants to change the world, one angry word at a time...

With the recent box office success of movies like Shang-Chi and Candyman along with other movies that center multicultural storylines, is the mainstream entertainment industry becoming more representative? More diverse casting, and the willingness to have conversations about diversity, have gained steam and attention in recent years, but what does that really mean? A survey by the Division of Social Sciences at UCLA found that only 2.5 out of 10 film directors are people of color. What's still missing from the discussion? What's Hollywood still getting wrong? And how has the pandemic complicated - or taught us - things? Local and national media experts discuss the current film and entertainment landscape - and how diversity is being addressed. Plus, we hear about Q-Fest, Houston's annual Houston's long-time annual, international LGBTQ film festival, now in its 25th and final year. Dr. Tyrone D.

After a year and a half of the pandemic, ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings', Marvel's first blockbuster film to feature an Asian American superhero did big numbers at the box office.

#AsianAugust live on! This month, we're talking about the thriller Searching. We talking John Cho and other leading Asian men, creating Asian families on screen, and what does the TV world looks like for representation in 2018.  It's Been A Minute with John Cho and Aneesh Chaganty: https://www.npr.org/2018/08/08/636576081/john-cho-and-aneesh-chaganty-on-searching  They Call Us Bruce with John Cho: https://theycallusbruce.libsyn.com/episode-47-they-call-us-john-cho    Avatar and a non-whitewashed cast: https://deadline.com/2018/09/avatar-the-last-airbender-live-action-series-netflix-1202467089/ 

Jeff and Phil take a moment to acknowledge and reflect on making it to 50 episodes of They Call Us Bruce. They look back at the Good, the Bad and the WTF of the first fifty shows, consider the future, and make A VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

For all you overachievers out there, Saturday School hosted an AP Honors discussion group with 5 people who have seen Crazy Rich Asians in theaters 5 TIMES *OR MORE.* The #CRA5timersclub. Like the SNL 5-timers club, but more Asian. Spoilers galore. And full disclosure, Ada's only seen it 3 times, so she's both hosting and crashing the party. Brian has only seen it once, so he was not invited. If you're obsessed with the movie as much as Phil Yu, David Magdael, Cheryl K, Minji Chang and Marvin Yueh are, we'd recommend first listening to Crazy Rich Asians episodes of our fellow Potluck Podcast Collective podcasts: They Call Us Bruce, KollabCast, First of All. And then come to Saturday School if you want to talk about stuff like: why Curtis was flown to Singapore, was that Teresa Teng's "Tian Mi Mi" playing in the background, and did the addition of that one line de-creepify Peik Lin's brother just a little bit or was it always there? Hang on tight, the super crazies have got the mike.

Having now ni hao'd their way into your hearts, Jeff and Phil recap, and revisit the first 20 episodes of They Call Us Bruce. Then they welcome friend and fellow podcaster Minji Chang (Kollabcast, First of All), for a round of The Good, The Bad and The WTF.
