Description
On-Screen Kimistry takes a closer look at how actors of Asian descent show up on screen — for better or for worse. Hosts Brian Kim and Roy Kim review everything from groundbreaking films to outright flops, mixing cultural insight with sharp critique and plenty of laughs. Not every movie we cover is good (some are truly awful), but each one says something about how Hollywood views us — and impacts how we see ourselves. Provocative, funny, and unafraid to call it like it is, On-Screen Kimistry is where film talk meets representation.

To kick off our podcast, Brian and Roy talk about Big Trouble in Little China, a truly bizarre 1980's film that mixes attempts at kung fu, Asian mysticism, and gross orientalism. As we unpack its place in Asian American movie representation, one burning question remains for director John Carpenter: Who on earth is this movie for??
