  • My Love Mix-Up
    Adapting a television series from a book can be a very difficult task.  Especially, when someone else has already taken a crack at it and you’re not only trying to live up to the source material, but also find a unique perspective in which to tell your own version of the story.  
    We discuss all of these issues on the podcast this week as we talk about the 2024 Thai BL Drama “My Love Mix-Up.”  Having originally been released as a Manga, then adapted into a Japanese series, will the Thai version live up to those that came before it?  And were they able to find their own way to make it even better?

  • 5 Dramas We Dropped in 2024
    Not all dramas are award winners. Not all dramas are popular. Not all dramas are worth watching to the bitter end.
    As much as we try to keep an open mind and give every drama we watch a fair chance, sometimes you need to just throw in the towel.
    In this episode we discuss 5 dramas from 2024 that put such a foul taste in our mouth that we couldn’t stomach even one more episode.
    Are we kind of being haters this week?
    Yes! Yes we are!

  • Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In
    This week is a return to the Hong Kong Cinema heyday, as we discuss the 2024 action flick "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In." Taking place in the infamous Kowloon walled city, this over the top action bonanza starring Louis Koo (古天樂), Raymond Lam (林峯), and Sammo Hung (洪金寶) has us reminiscing about the golden age of Hong Kong entertainment industry.

  • Didi

    This week, we talk about the 2024 coming of age US film Didi, and it's well crafted characters, great acting, and the idiosyncrasies of awkward adolescents. This movie stars Izaac Wang, Joan Chen, Mahaela Park and directed by Sean Wang.


    We definitely recommend checking this raw and realistic movie about a Taiwanese American protagonist as he navigates through puberty.
