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.

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!
