We're still in hiatus mode, but wanted to give our subscribers a little bonus for staying with us while we're figuring things out. A few weeks ago we chatted with Michael Golamco, who co-wrote the Netflix Original Movie "Always Be My Maybe" with his friends Randall Park and Ali Wong. Michael shares his early days with the UCLA Asian American Theater Troupe and Randall co-founded and how that led to him to a career in writing for the stage and screen. We also discuss Keanu Reeve's master bill paying skills and Mike's hopes for the future of Asians in entertainment.  Intro & outro music for this episode is “Uzuhan” by Kollaboration Altanta Alum, Uzuhan As always, send us your listener emails at podcast@kollaboration.org Learn more about the KollabCast and listen to past episodes here Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Google Play Music, Stitcher, Spotify, Radio Public or via our RSS feed (http://kollaboration.libsyn.com/rss) Follow our guests at: Michael Golamco@michaelgolamco Follow our hosts at: @minjeeeezy @marvinyueh The KollabCast is a podcast about pop culture and the creative life from an Asian American perspective
