ICYMI. 122 James Hong on what he’s learned working on over 500 roles in tv and film

132. Matt Fraction on writing comics, hard work, and empathy

If you look up Matt Fraction, you will find a bio that sounds a little like this: Matt Fraction writer of: (writer): SEX CRIMINALS (Image), Jimmy Olsen (DC), CASANOVA (Image), HAWKEYE (Marvel), and NOVEMBER (Image) writes comic books out in the woods and lives with his wife, the writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, his two children, two dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, and a yard full of coyotes and stags. Surely there is a metaphor there.

122. James Hong on working in tv and films

I feel fortunate that James Hong took time to interview with me today. He is an actor who has starred in over 500 film and tv roles during his 60+ year career. At age 90, he isn’t slowing down. It was great to have a little Mulan reunion with James, as we discussed our thoughts on the upcoming live-action film. James shared his stories on Hollywood through the years, and the challenges Asian Americans face in cinema. He is hopeful for the future after the success of Crazy Rich Asians, however, still feels we have a long way to go.

Today, on the show I talk about an exciting event that is coming up next week, San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC). SDCC is the mecca of all comic con!

We’ll be doing some meet and greets, autographs and more. Or just stop in a say hello!

112. Scott Shaw, cartoonist and founding member of San Diego Comic Con

Fan is short for fanatic. One of my favorite quotes from today’s episode with cartoonist, Scott Shaw. Scott takes time out of his day to chat with me about the conception of San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC). As well as highlights of his works in the cartoon and comic field.

[Rebroadcast] CChat 80: Me (Mimi) on Mulan

101. Stan Sakai creator of Usagi Yojimbo

I am trying to contain my excitement today… I had the honor of interviewing the legendary Stan Sakai. For those of you who are not falling out of your chair, this means you don’t read comics. For those of you who just fainted, you know Stan as the creator of Usagi Yojimbo.

80. Me (Mimi) on Mulan

This is my first solo podcast! Today, I chat about my experience as Disney’s Mulan model. Yes, I was the model, inspiration, and live action video reference for Disney’s Mulan. I previously asked listeners to send in questions, and I answer them here!
