Episode description

MKH has hot Asian men on the brain, but what is he really talking about here??....of course he wants to know whether Asian men in cinema and film are part of a new wave or just a passing phase.


Bar Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen, the on-screen representation of east-Asian men since the beginning of cinema has been limited in western film and television productions until the last decade.


Are we on the verge of a renaissance? Particularly now that east Asian men are being cast in less stereotypical roles with more stories positioning them as leading characters rather than background or supporting cast members.
