Today's Barbershop Talk podcast discusses the progression of Asian representation in film, especially for males. We breakdown whether or not recently released Asian-led films were positive for us and, more importantly, how well they did at the box office. Representation is necessary, but that only happens if these films continue to drive revenue and profits.

In this episode, we discuss:

-How much films need to pull to break even

-Minari (Steven Yeun)

-Mortal Kombat (2021) (Lewis Tan)

-G.I. Joe Snake Eyes (Henry Golding & Andrew Koji)

-All My Life (Harry Shum)

-Boogie (Taylor Takahashi)

-Shang-Chi (Simu Liu)
