I'm an American fan of Asian pop culture and especially of East Asian pop music. I've spent 20+ years learning about this corner of pop culture and hope to be a bridge between East and West. All opinions are my own. Show notes and other writings from the past decade-plus can be found on my website.

Patrick returns to discuss two classic 1980s movies: "They All Laughed" and "Star 80." The common thread is the late Dorothy Stratten. We discuss her cinematic footprint, as well as her literary footprint in "The Killing of the Unicorn." Middle aged fantasy or true love?
I'm joined by Doom from The Nerd Blitz to discuss the 1980 sci-fi film "Galaxina." The movie starred the late Playboy Playmate Dorothy R. Stratten and we get into my theory that Playboy Playmates are about as close to idols as we ever got in America.
