    Jeff and I discuss our thoughts on Guardians of The Galaxy 2 - general thoughts, how similar I think this franchise is to The Fast and the Furious franchise,  the humor that may not have been fully delivered, the potentially dumbest villain reveal ever, and finally our thoughts on tying the cosmos into the Marvel universe.

  • Episode 3 - (Part 2) Discussion about Asians in Media

    Following our review of Ghost In The Shell (part 1), Jeff and I discuss the lack of Asian representation in American Film. We talk about the marketability and relateabiliy of Asian Americans, what needs to happen for them to be successful (continue to use stereotypes as leverage?), the whole chicken and the egg issue of why we may be under-represented, and finally tying in our own experiences in attempts at entertainment.

    Listeners do not need to listen to Part 1 or have had seen Ghost In The Shell to follow this episode.
