Recorded and uploaded in a haste, so no Microsoft paint work today. Someone switch KD out for Looney in that photo.
Quick solo episode following game 2, talking the pick and roll (what else), blazers defense, and finally the odd (but effective?) Warriors rotation. Finally some predictions on how the series wraps up. Enjoy!

Happy 50th Episode!
Jeffrey Liu and I recorded our review of Endgame last week, but to give everyone a chance to see it we decided to hold off releasing this episode until now. Hear our takes on the scattered storylines, character sendoffs, time travel (consistent or not?), and finally a famous Jeff Liu rant about the scene that I will refer to as the Captain Marvel Red Rover scene. A really fun episode for those who saw the 3 hour epic, and also want an opportunity to reflect on the events more than a decade in the making. Enjoy!

Fantastic paint jobs strike again!
Despite me being on the road in Minny, the pod maintains its commitment to up to date and timely episodes! James and I discuss what has worked so far in getting the Warriors the 2-0 lead - great defense, Kevin Durant, offensive rebounds (along with some random stats from early 2000's Warriors great Danny Fortson), and a fire that's been lit underneath them. Oh and contrary to what I say in the beginning, we DO talk about the refereeing and the stat happy Rockets. The episode wraps up with some bold predictions. Spoiler alert, the only reason the Warriors would go back to Houston after game 4 is to eat Taco Cabana. Enjoy!

In honor of having Jeff Liu guest on the pod to talk GSW hoops, a little throwback photo from our 6th grade basketball days!
The 1st round is wrapped up, and with a short turnaround to the second series the EWangBang pod is committed to providing timely feedback! Join us as we talk about what kind of fire was lit under the Warriors after the first series, matchup challenges for the series against the Rockets, and our predictions.

As a sign of protest for the shitty basketball we watched Monday night, this episode gets no Microsoft Paint work, no intro/outro music, no James Liao - just me.
Listen to a solo episode talking poor clock management, turnovers, our big man rotation, and finally KDs strange passivity.

Maybe Magic quit so he could be a Warrior fan.
The NBA playoffs are here! James and I start the pod touching on the chaos in Los Angeles, and at 9 minutes we share thoughts on the Warriors/Clippers series. Enjoy, and let's go Warriors!

One of my finest Microsoft Paint jobs yet!
Jeff Liu and I review Marvel's most recent superhero film "Captain Marvel". In standard Emile Wang fashion I thought this highly-rated movie was in fact awful, and (to my surprise) Jeff Liu appears to be in less favor of this film than I would have thought. Listen as we discuss a scale of power problem, a lack of character identity of Carol Danvers, a ham-fisted girl power message, terrible attempts at nostalgia-related humor, how Captain Marvel fits in with Marvel Phase 4, and finally some predictions on Avenger's End Game. A second episode that I taped while sick with some technology issues, so apologies again for some struggles!

Throwback photo at Oracle!
James and I had a very disappointing final trip to Oracle when they played the Mavs last week. But that didn't stop us from doing this pod! Join us as we reflect on a poor ticket-buying decision, discuss a huge game against the Nuggets with playoff implications, the return of Andrew Bogut,, the play of DeMarcus Cousins, the strange play of Kevin Durant, sidebars on the NCAA tournament and finally who are our ideal first round matchups. Recorded when I was sick, sorry about the sniffles!

Calling all comic book nerds, Marvel Movie fans, or people who want to see Asian Americans succeed in Hollywood, this episode is for you!
Marvel has announced that they are fast-tracking their first superhero movie with an Asian protagonist, and Jeff Liu and I are on it! Join us as we discuss the history of the character Shang Chi, his relationship to Fu Man Chu (yes, THAT Fu Man Chu), a discussion about scale of powers in superhero universes, some good casting possibilities for Shang Chi, and finally what kind of movie we would like to see as both Marvel fans and as Asian mericans (along with some bold predictions!). A can't miss episode if you want to get ahead of all the hype - enjoy!

Well, that didn't happen (Sorry Lake Show!).
James Liao joins me for a trade-deadline focused episode, where we discuss our thoughts on the quiet western conference, what deal is the best for Anthony Davis, how the East is suddenly incredibly impressive, who I am most afraid of to meet in the finals, and finally some names on the buyout market. Also aalittle bit of history lesson of why we think Allen Houston is still being paid by the Knicks. Enjoy!
