Welcome to Season 5, Episode 6! Today we're talking about food (one of our favorite recurring themes). Specifically we're going to talk about Egg Foo Young, a popular staple in Chinese American restaurants for generations. Egg Foo Young may not be as popular now as it used to be, but it still has a special place in the history of the Chinese diaspora. In this episode, we discuss the Cantonese dish's origin, it's adaptation in the U.S. and across the globe, and how Colonialism played a part in transforming it… yep, even with food, we need to talk about Colonialism. We begin the episode with some current events, and we end it with our recurring segment on What Are We Watching. Today on WAWW, we talk about Interior Chinatown (playing on Hulu and starring Jimmy O. Yang, Chloe Bennet, and more) and XO, Kitty (playing on Netflix and starring Anna Cathcart, Anthony Keyvan, and more).  If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 3! We're back with Part 2 of The History of Mahjong. Last episode we talked about the games origins and how it came to America. In this episode, we discuss the rise of Jewish-American Mah-Jongg and how it was standardized and simplified in America by the National Mah-Jongg League. We also take time to talk about cultural appropriation and how the Asian American community has tried to reclaim the narrative of Mahjong as a connection to our culture. We open the episode by talking about some current events that include the Philadelphia arena, the passing of Farewell to Manzanar author Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, and Moana 2. We close the episode with another addition to “What Are We Watching” as we discuss the movie Wicked, directed by the amazing Jon M. Chu. To learn more about Mahjong, check out these two books: Mahjong: A Chinese Game and the Making of Modern American Culture by Annelise Heinz and Mahjong: House Rules from Across the Asian Diaspora by Nicole Wong.

Tim Burton 1992) with the fantastic Mike Bowers  of the 'Agree to Disagree' podcast. We took a whole 2hr edited episode and then smushed it, and crushed it, and compacted it, and compartmentalized it, and crammed it all into a neat little package just for you! More random noises! More music than before! More offensive than you recall! Turn on the bun toasters (heated seat), fill up the cocoa mug, and enjoy this listener fave at blazing BATMOBILE SPEED!

Send us a text“Great, now I have another reason to hate Christmas…The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.” Happy Holidays! “Gremlins,” (D. Joe Dante 1984) Starring: Zack Galligan, Pheobe Cates, and Hoyt Axton.

Send us a textSeasons Greetings from The Review Review, and our second of three new holiday episodes to close out 2024. Ghost of episodes past, and Christmas Sweater Queen, Audrey Marlene joins us with her pick, "Scrooged." (Dir. Richard Donner 1988) Starring: Bill Murray, Karen Allen, and Alfre Woodard. We go on a tonal journey through the years, and the tears that are abound in this modernized take on the classic Chucky Dick (Charles Dickens) story "A Christmas Carol." A stark reminder that in these uncertain times, it's always nice to know someone is there for you....SkyNet is there for you.

Send us a textThis Thanksgiving, hunting season is over, as Ben and Paul go guestless (hunting is hard) and get restless for a mulleted JCVD, and as a result, a “guaranteed good time” (guarantor @whollymoses). This go round it's the action classic “Hard Target” (d. John Woo 1993) starring: Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg, Yancy Butler, and Lance Henrickson. Should this have been a Lance Henrickson vehicle? Is the only cop working during a strike the only cop you can count on? Do poor people get THIS bored too? And the power…of the one true mullet.

HERNY SELICK people, we cannot stress this enough. 1993) Starring: Chris Sarandon (Jack speaking), Danny Elfman (Jack singing), and Catherine O'Hara (doin' it all, baby!). Is it good enough for someone to have good intentions, even if they're making everyone's existence a living nightmare? Are characters going from A to C or even A to Z more forgivable in shorter films? Is this movie part of your personality? Spoilers

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 40! You may not know what a steel guitar is, but once you hear the sound it makes, we guarantee you've heard music where it's used. Originating in Hawaii, the steel guitar has gone on to spark innovation and integration into bluegrass, blues, jazz, country, and more.  In this episode, we share the origins of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar as well as some of the key players and events that made Hawaiian music so popular in the early 1900s. To learn more, we recommend checking out recordings of Sol Ho'opi'i, King Nawahi, Kalama's Quartet, Sam Ku West, and other masters of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar. You can also read the book Kika Kila: How the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Changed the Sound of Modern Music by John Troutman. We also take time to discuss the big night of Emmy wins for Shōgun as well as the historic season for Shohei Ohtani. We close out this episode by talking about what we're watching… DiDi the movie and Sarah Kinsley in concert.  If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 36! It's time to talk about iconic Asian candies again! These are candies and confections that originated in Asia but have meant a lot to people worldwide in the Asian diaspora. Today we're here to share the history of Botan Rice Candy and Dragon's Beard Candy.  Have you tried either? We think they're worth looking for if you haven't. Both are generally vegan and gluten-free, so they're good for most people. If you have a nut allergy, you should avoid Dragon's Beard, or you can make it yourself without nuts. If you like celebrating iconic Asian Candies, then check out S03E44 where we talk about White Rabbit and Kopiko as well as S03E47 where we talk about Hi-Chew and Haw Flakes. To begin the episode, we catch-up on a few current events including the Paralympics. In our recurring segment, we have another installment of “What Are We Watching?”, and we wax poetic about the Acolyte on Disney+ and Pachinko on Apple TV+.  If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.
