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.

The Karate Kid (1&2)
<p>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.

The Goonies
<p>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. </p><p>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! </p><p>* Email us your comments at onscreenkimistrypod@gmail.com, or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/onscreenkimistrypod/">send us a DM on our Instagram</a>!</p><p>** Follow us individually on IG: Brian (@goldendazefilms) and Roy (@thisisroykim)</p><p>*** Oh and if you are feeling particularly supportive today, <a href="https://ko-fi.com/onscreenkimistry">buy us a beer at our Ko-Fi account</a>!
