Mehr On-Screen Kimistry

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.

Episode The Karate Kid (1&2) Cover

The Karate Kid (1&2)

Roy and Brian discuss The Karate Kid, parts 1 and 2! At long last we get to talk about two movies that we respect and enjoy so much. We witness humble handyman Mr. Miyagi become a beloved mentor who transforms his own quiet grief and wartime scars into wisdom that shapes a struggling boy’s character. Miyagi's calm strength and spiritual philosophy turn violence into discipline and fear into self-respect. When he returns to Okinawa, Miyagi must reconcile with his past and show that true honor lies not in winning fights, but in mastering one’s heart. (Thanks ChatGPT for the summary!) By the way, did you know Pat Morita can do an ⁠excellent impersonation of Redd Foxx?⁠ [https://youtu.be/jFyW2siBymU?si=Huubqj8Fn7yiSoHl] If you're ready, pull out those chopsticks and let your hair down, let's discuss The Karate Kid! * Email us your comments at onscreenkimistrypod@gmail.com, or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠send us a DM on our Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/onscreenkimistrypod/]! ** Follow us individually on IG: Brian (@goldendazefilms) and Roy (@thisisroykim) *** Oh and if you are feeling particularly supportive today, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buy us a beer at our Ko-Fi account⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://ko-fi.com/onscreenkimistry]!

Episode The Goonies Cover

The Goonies

Roy and Brian discuss The Goonies, a 1985 Steven Spielberg film about a group of kids from Astoria, Oregon, who try to find the hidden treasure of One-Eyed Willy in order to save their neighborhood from capitalistic developers. We talk about the movie's nostalgia and also its very problematic depictions of boys' treatment of girls, the exploitation of immigrants, fat shaming, and more. We also share our thoughts about the portrayal of Data, played by young Ke Huy Quan. (To give you a hint, ask yourself, what do you remember most about Data?) Lace up your slick shoes, pop in a Cyndi Lauper cassette, and let's discuss The Goonies! * Email us your comments at onscreenkimistrypod@gmail.com, or ⁠⁠⁠send us a DM on our Instagram⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/onscreenkimistrypod/]! ** Follow us individually on IG: Brian (@goldendazefilms) and Roy (@thisisroykim) *** Oh and if you are feeling particularly supportive today, ⁠⁠⁠buy us a beer at our Ko-Fi account⁠⁠⁠ [https://ko-fi.com/onscreenkimistry]!

Episode Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Cover

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Roy and Brian discuss Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, a 1984 film that Roger Ebert called "a roller-coaster ride, a visual extravaganza, a technical triumph, and a whole lot of fun." Well... it definitely was a visual spectacle, and it had an iconic soundtrack, but it sure wasn't a whole lot of fun for worldwide Asian viewers. Rewatching it as adults, we can see why (ugh).  We talk about the movie's depictions of Asians, the harmful tropes it reinforced, but also some of the redeeming qualities we found along the way. Suffice to say, Steven Spielberg we have questions! So grab onto a rope bridge and hang on tight, we're going for a ride! * Email us your comments at onscreenkimistrypod@gmail.com, or ⁠⁠send us a DM on our Instagram⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/onscreenkimistrypod/]! ** Follow us individually on IG: Brian (@goldendazefilms) and Roy (@thisisroykim) *** Oh and if you are feeling particularly supportive today, ⁠⁠buy us a beer at our Ko-Fi account⁠⁠ [https://ko-fi.com/onscreenkimistry]!

Episode Year of the Dragon Cover

Year of the Dragon

Brian and Roy discuss Year of the Dragon, a 1985 film that pretty much made us want to vomit. It's about a Vietnam veteran-turned-New York cop who wages war against the rising power of Chinese triads in Chinatown. The director Michael Cimino claimed that the movie was trying to depict racism, but we think it's just straight up racist. We wonder if you agree? Put on your favorite Cantonese record, pour some chrysanthemum tea, and join us in Stanley White hell! * Email us your comments at onscreenkimistrypod@gmail.com, or ⁠send us a DM on our Instagram⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/onscreenkimistrypod/]! ** Follow us individually on IG: Brian (@goldendazefilms) and Roy (@thisisroykim) *** Oh and if you are feeling particularly supportive today, ⁠buy us a beer at our Ko-Fi account⁠ [https://ko-fi.com/onscreenkimistry]!
