Episode 082: Wonder Woman, Now the World is Ready For You Jun 07, 2017

Show notes

After shattering box office glass ceilings with a $200 million global debut, Keith breaks down the latest, and most successful, entry in the DC Extended Universe with two Wonder Women in their own right: N'Jaila Rhee (@BlasianBytch) -- who also wrote the official NOC review -- and Britney Monae (@HiBritneyMonae). Together they rank Wonder Woman against other comic book superhero movies and why the "No Man's Land" scene is the best, discuss the problems with the last act of the movie, break down the argument that Gal Gadot is a person of color and/or a Zionist, and determine which Chris is the Ultimate Champion White Actor Dude Named Chris.

As always, the official "Hard NOC Life" theme is brought to you by the super team of Adam WarRock (www.adamwarrock.com) and Chops (www.chopsmusic.com).

"Hit 'play,' and check this."

Show notes

The second season of AMC's Into the Badlands concludes on Sunday, so our intrepid live tweeter Laura Sirikul joins Keith to look back on one of our favorite shows! Of course, they can't help juxtaposing Ballands and Iron Fist, but they also explain Daniel Wu's previous comments about whitewashing and why Oliver Stark needs to be a guest on a future episode. They also share their predictions about the finale and how Keith decided to mashup Badlands and Hamilton for the #IntoTheHamLands.

Show notes

In the first part of a special podcast crossover with DC TV Classics, Keith chats with Into the Badlands co-creator Al Gough. They talk about Al's start in Hollywood with his writing and producing partner Miles Millar; working with Hong Kong cinema legends like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Michelle Yeoh, and Daniel Wu; how difficult it is to accurately portray kung fu on broadcast television; and the importance of representation and why the onus is on producers and directors to find and cast diverse talent.

Show notes

Last week, we hosted a special live-streamed edition of Hard NOC Life with filmmaker John Brougher about his new short film Iron and Rage. John talks about his inspiration for creating his own #AAIronFist and why representation of Asian American humanity on screen is so important.
