Season 1, Ep. 5: They Call Me Bruce? (with Michael Kang + Klee & Ryatt)

We have a very special episode of Saturday School this week, where we have guests! We recorded LIVE at the Comedy Comedy Festival earlier this year, and we invited director Michael Kang and his daughters Klee and Ryatt to talk about 1982's action comedy They Call Me Bruce? -- which was a pivotal film for the older Kang, who first saw the film when he was 12 and said it "changed his life." Kang remembers what it meant to see the Korean American Johnny Yune performing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and talks about what it was like showing the film to his daughters, knowing they wouldn't get many of the decades-old pop culture references. Not-so-spoiler alert: Klee and Ryatt got bored really fast and started messing around on the side, and we thought it was quite fitting that we forced the next generation to come to Saturday School and they didn't listen or learn anything. We, on the other hand, learned about the YouTube channel Klee is planning on starting! Saturday School is a podcast where we teach your unwilling children about Asian American pop culture history. First season will be about Asian American film comedies. 10 episodes will be released every Saturday at 8am, which is when we were forced to go to Chinese school as kids.
