Ethan and Alison return to the (Zoom) booth and are joined by Ethan's brother, Evan, to discuss the Marvel Studios film and first Asian-led superhero film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings! Join in the conversation as they discuss their thoughts on the Marvel film and explore its cultural references to Hong Kong and Chinese action cinema, as well as fawn over Tony Leung, reflect on their childhood dreams of an Asian superhero, and ponder Shang-Chi's oriental nature.  What will Shang-Chi's entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe mean for Asian-American cinema?
