Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the very hilarious and truly engaging comic and actor PHIL WANG!

An absolute delight of a chatty catchup here with Brett and Phil, which - at time of publishing - comes in very hot on the heels of Phil's Netflix special 'Wang In There, Baby'. Phil is a super friendly and warm presence and it's really nice to hear the cinematic behind the scenes of his life, including his time on the latest Wonka movie, revengey vs forgivey, Batman theories, horror hate, big scary Malaysian houses, the many shades of the Cockney geezer accent guvnor, being an engineer, nepo superstars and kung fu parents (there's your Netflix cartoon right there). Awesome from start to end. You shall enjoy. Peep the special too eh!

(quick note - if you haven't seen All Of Us Strangers and intend to, careful when it comes up - potential spoilers lie within - you're looking at around the 29:30 mark for around 90 seconds)
