Ep 126 AAPI Heritage Month!

5/7/2024
It's always fun to get together with my teacher pals, but it was even more fun to get together at my new favorite Southeast Asian restaurant, Lime Tree! Loan, Vicky, Jackie, and I got together right before our Spring Break to talk about AAPI history, facts, and historical figures. Pictured here is the Tape family, their 8-year-old daughter, Mamie, was part of a Supreme Court case that led to the desegregation of schools in America in 1885. I hope you learn something and have fun at the same time! Fact check: I said George W. Bush signed AAPI Heritage Month into law... but it was his dad George H.W. Bush who signed it in 1992. (Loan knew it... but I blew it) We recorded at Lime Tree in SF's Richmond District, and as a special treat, we got to interview the owner Ming too! (We stayed for dinner, we're not sponsored by them, but I can tell you that the food is super yummy and you should go!) https://www.yelp.com/biz/lime-tree-southeast-asian-kitchen-san-francisco-2 Thanks to my guests and our host Ming for making it a really fun and delicious night!

Ep 125 Yvonne Chapman - Actor in Kung Fu and Avatar The Last Airbender

4/30/2024
For someone who plays villains, actor Yvonne Chapman could not have been nicer! Calling in from Vancouver, Canada, Yvonne talked with me about her road to acting as well as her three seasons on CW's Kung Fu, playing villain turned friend Zhilan Zhang. In February of 2024, Yvonne was stunning as the larger-than-life supernatural Kyoshi Avatar in Netflix's live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. This fall you can see Yvonne in CW's Superman and Lois, playing another "misunderstood" character Amanda McCoy. I had such a great time talking with Yvonne, and wish her all the best as she's definitely a star on the rise!

We headed back to our favorite KPOP store, SarangHello, here in San Francisco to have some fun on a Friday night! We had a Trivia Night with about 30 of our listeners and friends! It was lots of laughs, a few tense moments, but in the end, I think everyone left a winner! Special thanks to Chesca, Pip, (and Kevin in absentia) for hosting us and providing our final prize of a $50 gift card to the shop! Also shouts to the Lawton Alternative School and Galileo High School's KPOP clubs for participating! Intern Sydney, helped a lot with the logistics! I hope you have fun listening to this.

Ep 123 Chinatown Rising Film with Harry and Josh Chuck

4/16/2024
This episode was so much fun to record! I was able to get a mini tour of Chinatown with two SF natives who grew up down there, Josh Chuck, co-producer and co-director of the documentary film Chinatown Rising, and my mom Brenda! It was really fun to capture the sounds of Chinatown on this recording, I hope you enjoy! A few FACT CHECK items: I said Pan-Pacific Exposition, but I meant The Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939. And I also said my mom's grandparents immigrated here in the 1870's, but I meant to say my mom's GREAT-grandparents. After a little walk through the streets, we ended up at the historic Donaldina Cameron House, where we met Harry Chuck who had worked there as director for over 40 years. He captured footage of various social justice moments during the 1960's-1980's. Flash forward over 40 years and he and Josh were able to produce a film about that era. It is wonderful to see some moments in SF history that many of us would otherwise never be able to see. For now Chinatown Rising is limited to school and community viewings, but it will be available for rent via streaming soon, so stay tuned! To learn more about the film you can go to https://www.chinatownrising.com or follow them on social media @chinatownrising Thanks to all my guests, Harry and Josh Chuck and special thanks to my mom for showing me a little bit more about where she grew up!

Ep 120 A 2023 Hollywood Wrap-Up with Kelvin Han Yee and Katie Nguyen

3/26/2024
What a year 2023 was for Asian American representation in TV and film. Since the Oscars is traditionally the end of awards season, I figured it’d be fun to do a little recap of some of our favorite AAPI projects that aired in 2023! I brought back 2 friends of the pod to help me with this. We’re happy to have Katie Nguyen back! And joining us again is our old pal Kelvin, who is a real Asian American Hollywood mainstay with 90+ acting credits under his name. It’s always fun to hear Kelvin’s take on things happening in Hollywood! Also, Katie and I were able to screen a film called Earthlings. Earthlings depicts what happens when people of drastically different backgrounds are thrown together for a dinner party where a little too much tequila is consumed. Thanks to Kelvin and director Steve Doughton for the screening invite! Thanks to both my guests for a lively chat!

2/6/2024
*Spoiler Free 1st Half* Netflix’s The Brothers Sun started 2024 with a bang! Starring Michelle Yeoh, it is a non-stop adventure from episode one.

My co-host Katie and I got to spend our lunch hour with two of the stars of the show, Jon Xue Zhang who plays Blood Boots, and Alice Hewkin who plays twin sisters May and June. Both Alice and Jon called in from England where they live. They are both so kind, funny, and insightful. We honestly could have talked to them until the wee hours of the night (London time).
