Episode 5: Strong Asian Male Leads

invASIANtv popcast

It's strange to believe that Asian Male leads on television were relatively nonexistent up until the 2010s, but lo and behold: it's true! We discuss Indians on TV (an actual Master of None episode description and title), the need for more romantic male leads (because duh), and how martial arts shows should be featuring more Asian actors than white actors (also duh)!

On this week's episode we focus on the following actors/characters/shows:

Aziz Ansari as Dev Shah on Master of None, Daniel Wu as Sunny and Aramis Knight as MK on Into the Badlands, Ryan Potter as Mike Fukunaga on Supah Ninjas, and John Cho as Henry Higgs on Selfie
