I only know the the ones here. Anthony was saying Le Young, but but then people that watch Squid Game now, so that would make He's been on so much though. Oh, he's been so

Who's like the leading guy right now? Is it Simu in America? I think I think that's the best we got. Steven representing. Yeah. No, for actor anything in he did beef. I feel like I feel like um Justin Chan and also Steven
6:46 Yun are like still killing it. But Justin Sean is like indie, but Simu is like everybody. Yeah, that's what I mean. I think he's just more out there. People don't got to like see. He's just a Barbie and Yeah. He's like he's like that level of like they're just putting him in ████ Yeah. But as far as like acting chops goes, I feel like we've seen more of Steven Yun ████ Oh, as far as like Well, he had more of an opportunity I think. As far as killing it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If you put Sein Barbie, he's not going to kill it. Like that's movie for that. Steven Yun's also the voice actor for Invincible. Yeah. He's really good as Invincible. killing that genre, huh? And Justin Sean be like directing and writing and stuff, too. Well, plus his Justin Sean's movies are like 10 out of 10 100%, but then they're not as widely seen. Yeah, they're like our house. They're like A24ish. Yeah, but they're like that's the top. Yeah, that's winning every festival for sure. Definitely up there, bro. So then it's kind of like

He's not He's not really June Ta, but everyone called him. Dude, that fool was in this movie with uh he
8:28 was in this movie with I think Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson or No, Edward Norton. And he plays a karaoke shop owner and he pretends like he don't he doesn't speak English. He sings a beautiful song and it's really funny. It's a grid scene. Ken Leon, what's the name of this movie? ████ forgot, dude. What about Harry Jr.? I thought you guys were going to be able to I haven't seen a lot of I haven't seen anything of him really. I know he's ████ good. I mean, I've seen him in Wau. Was he in Wong Fu? Yeah, he did a lot of Wong Fu stuff. You know who I really ████ like, which none of you guys probably have seen cuz this guy didn't act much, but he was so ████ funny. This dude, he was the the friend of Bruce Leroy in The Last Dragon. The Asian dude. Oh yeah. The friend. He's the best Asian actor. The His character. He's so funny. The Last Dragon's an 80s
9:19 like very shown up. Yeah. We also got to give to Dante Basco. Oh, dude. He's just of course he's iconic. He's He's top dog talk all day. Hey, Mr. Miyagi, bro. Oh, Pat Morita. Pat Marita. The Miyagi. He was I feel like he was just himself acting. He's old. He wasn't though. That's what's so great about that performance. He was He can't even speak Japanese. He was Americanized as all hell. Hey, he did stand up in back in black and white TV. Wow. Lucy or Michelle Yo. Oh, Lucy Lou, baby. Michelle Yo got a She got a seat at the table. She got a seat at the table. top three, bro. Listen, listen. Michelle, yo, she's as best Asian actress. Well,
10:09 that's what gets her goat. She She gets goat status cuz she's still like, you don't even know where her peak is at. But that's what I'm saying. We don't know yet. That's why we It's pending acting. Acting wise, you don't even know her peak. That's the scariest part. Acting wise, she up there. She's still going. She got the chops. But this is like her fourth win. You think Lucy Lou is going to come back and have a banger movie? I think so. Really? What's the last movie you liked with? And you can't say Kill Bill. Charlie Zang. Which one? Before that, which one? Full Throttle. Yeah, that's the right answer. All right. Full I don't know, but I just remember Lucy Lou seeing her for the first time and I was like, "Wow, let's go." Asian actor. You see the movie Payback with Mel Gibson? She's in there and she's hot in that movie. ████ I might have seen it, but I want to watch it now. That's a great revenge movie. Charles Mountain. Charles Mountain's really good. Mhm. You know that guy, Anthony? He's kind of like you. Oh, ████ He looks like me. Look him up.
11:00 He's like you. They don't look like you. I don't sound ████ He has Anthony Lee tendencies. He's gay. This fool. You never seen this guy? He's like the biggest Oh, that cat. I know who that is. What is he in? He was in the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend show, right? What? Turn him into an ████ Turn him into an No. No. What? Crazy. He was a crazy ex-girlfriend. I think so. No way. I can't see him that well from here. I just know him from Riverdale. He's in Riverdale. Did you guys see that? Everywhere. Everything. Everywhere. All at once. Hell yeah. That one's I saw clips. I didn't get to see it. He's in Bad Boys for Life. Bad Boys for Life, Ride or Die, American Horror Story, Heart of Champions, Son is All Star, Warfare. He's He's like a ████ That is a leading dude right now. He's Yeah. Are you Henry Golding or Simo? Oh my
11:51 god. Don't make me choose. Henry, dude. Yeah. All the way. It's hard, you know. It's hard to exist with David. so in the world and still see Simu the same way. Same problem. You know what I mean? It's hard, dude, because David's so ████ funny and he's like slammed him so many times and like I laugh. Honestly, Simu has slammed himself so many times that too in my opinion. But I like what h nobody bent Simu's opinion of Simu more than Simu. How he reacted to the Boba Fig, I respected it more because of that. But then in terms of like watching a movie with him, I just I don't even care, dude. Yeah, I get it. Sadly, because he he he got in so much movies, it ended up becoming like gh again. But if you like if you like David so it's just ████ hard. Of course I like David So cuz David slams him so good,
12:43 dude. He slams anybody hella good because Simu says dumbest the dumbest ████ We all say dumb ████ by the way, but Simu walks Simu walks in rakes like every day he wakes up for some reason on social media. It's crazy. Yeah, but he did he did uh do really well with that boba fiasco. I respect him a lot for that. I didn't I thought it was whack. I like the uh I like that actor from uh Old Boy. Oh, that guy's cool. Old Boy. I don't know his name, though. He's in a lot of Korean like gangster movies and stuff, right? Yeah. Wait, is it that same movie from Once Upon a Time? I don't know. They did a high school fight on the roof. Which one's that? ████ G. Oh, you know who I forgot about? That's I forgot about this guy and he's really good. Ross Butler. That fool's good. Ross
13:33 Butler. We'll see. Another heartthrob, dude. You never seen this guy? We're looking for Asians, dude. He's Asian. What the ████ you think is this guy? You sound like one. I got your back. Is he on Riverdale, too? Yes, he was. But he got replaced. Riverdale's all Asian cast or what? No, it just the the guys that play Reggie are Asian and he got he Oh, that's right. This guy was from uh uh what's it called? 13 Reasons Why. And that's why he couldn't do Riverdale. He's singing for some ████ isn't he? I do I do enjoy Anna Soai. Who's that? She was a girl in Shogun. She won an award. Anna Sawai, the the main female protagonist. Oh, Anna Sawai. Lady Maro. She did a good job. She like killed it. Take your time. I'm going with Jackie Chan as the most influential who changed the game out here for sure. Yes, I agree. Jackie
14:25 Chan, I agree. I think he changed like the whole game out here. Not only because of his movies, but the movies he chose to do that integrate different cinema scapes from other like Rush Hour, uh, Shanghai Nights, like merging those things together and getting people that otherwise wouldn't have seen them to like around the world fall in love with them. Yeah. Doing it in the newest, most creative and hilarious way. ████ awesome and and doing a lot of the work himself. Yeah. Hey, you know what I would really wish to see is Jackie Chan and ████ Adam Sandler. I feel like they could that would have been an interesting combo. I feel like they would have throw out a banger. Yo, you hear this? Please get on it. But think about like real quick like think about a script, right? And like where they say like, "Okay, here's like the characters blah blah blah setting blah blah blah." But then like you just say like there is a fight scene involving a whatever in a old western setting. That
15:15 could have been just so blas and taking turns punching getting when you add Jackie Chan to it, it becomes like a whole another thing where everybody who's who sees the trailer is like, I can't wait to watch this. And he just elevates everything. Changhai was a really good idea. That's why I like him so much cuz you got Stephen Chow, but he doesn't you don't see him next to American actors doing like American movies. Steven Chow is out there. He might be a personal favorite. He's so tight. But that as far as like entertainment wise, he might be a person. He's one of my favorites, too. But Jackie, he transcended worlds, which is like big credit. I just like the bits. Jackie Jazz has goated. Yeah, but he had zero sex appeal. Speak for yourself. Except the fact that he had hella sex. I know, right? It's like for a guy that's ████ a lot. Like, why do you got to be so dorky? But that's But isn't that the cool part? You
16:05 can you can finally enjoy a movie without a sex scene. Yeah, but I show that I do. Jim Carrey ████ a lot. You couldn't have been more crazy, but they they don't show it on camera. It's be it's secret. It's like being like Bill Cosby. Like he's ████ so much and doing quaoos and ████ but like he never shows like what a ladies man he is. That's a skill. But Jackie Chando had style. Remember he'd be wearing ladies blouses and ████ But he be wearing crop tops. Yeah, that's right. He did wear blouses. Look kind of tight. And he rocked it so cool. Greatest of all time though. I would have to give credit where credit is due because Harvey Weinstein, he was the one of the most pivotal persons to bring Asian cinema to America. Wow. Look it up. Love it. Read a book. He produced Rush Hour, I think. Right. He brought a lot of ████ dude.
16:55 He brought a lot. And then like he had a fetish for Asian women, which is why he went out there and worked so much. And Mirax brought hella Asian. That's right. He's a Mirmax guy. Yeah, dude. They did too much. He was the founder. You like her acting? Wait, who? I didn't say that. The girl in Rush Hour, the first one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You right, bro. But still, I think Lucy Lou and Payback hotter. Hotter than most. Yeah. Lucy Lou got her moments for sure. Lucy Lou, Payback. Payback, brother. I got you. Yeah, she was. They had her wearing like leather and ████ dude. They had her all hot. They knew what they were doing. Yep. And she was so mean. She was hot as I remember I remember thinking people were crazy for liking Sandra O. I was like, "You guys are ████ tripping." She was
17:46 like 40 when she came on the scene. That's not funny. Yeah. But like they putting her in magazines like as a Asian. Like I was like gross. She like auntie. She was in Sideways, right? Yeah. Sideways is good. That was her moment. Is she one of the only uh one of the first Asians girl to be on big ass scenes like movies and stuff? Who? Lucy Lou. No, she's just a big one in our era. No, she just she just hit the pop wave of movies real hard, which is great. Charlie's Angels. Hard to break into, right? That's what I'm saying. At that time, too, in 1999, they weren't by far the best movies. It was just like the pop wave of like she got in the door where like Asians dreamed of reaching.
