Jay looks at the issue of representation in big-budget productions by putting WARRIOR (Amazon Prime / Cinemax) in the spotlight and discussing it's origins (as a concept by Bruce Lee) and historical accuracies (delving into the Chinese Exclusion Act).
This episode explores the authenticity of the story to recreate the era on the small screen for a wider audience; particularly in redefining a south-east Asian cast and the range of storytelling that is possible.
50 years in the making, we reveal key instigators who made this happen!! Jay reveals some very interesting insights into the development of this critically acclaimed show to the GeekSweat team in this Hot Topic segment with Steven, TJ and King Dom in tow.
