Here’s what I read this week!
Month: February 2015
Are there any COLOR fans who love Romeo Santos? NBC Universo, labeled as “the modern, general entertainment cable channel for Latinos,” is debuting their one-hour TV special, “Romeo Santos Desde Viña 2015” this Sunday, March 1, at 8/7c.
If you’re a young person like me, you probably don’t remember when the 1983 special, MOTOWN 25 – Yesterday, Today, Forever aired on NBC. If you were old enough, then you probably remember seeing Richard Pryor as the host and when Michael Jackson moonwalked for the VERY. FIRST. TIME.
This is just a quick PSA to announce that I will have a panel at the Almost Human Fan Convention taking place on the AH Fan Con’s Tumblr! The convention started today (Friday) and continues until Sunday. My panel, “The Legality of Sentient Robots” will take place tomorrow (Saturday) at 8 a.m. ET.
I literally don’t know what we’re supposed to make of How to Get Away with Murder‘s season finale, except for these facts:

Lucious Lyon is a big hypocrite. I think what I’m writing has been painfully obvious from the beginning of Empire, but this episode, “The Lyon’s Roar,” clearly shows in stark detail how much of a hypocrite Lucious is.

This week on Fresh Off the Boat, we revisit the ’90s trend of fajitas! Personally, I don’t remember this trend, but then again, I didn’t go to a lot of restaurants as a kid—we didn’t eat out a lot. So if you were a person who frequented Chili’s or TGI Fridays, then maybe you remember when the fajita craze got started. To tell you the truth, the fajita craze still seems around, what with the sizzling pans you can still get at Chili’s. Anyways, the recap.
We all know Ava DuVernay should have been nominated for a directorial Oscar, but the Oscars sought fit to deny her what she’s owed. One anonymous voter even said that Selma didn’t have any art in it (paraphrasing).
If you’re looking for a new webseries to get addicted to, keep an eye on Munkey in The City. The upcoming webseries is written by Michael Nguyen and stars Kenny Leu as Munkey, a guy trying to make it as a writer while figuring out what it is he really wants out of life.
I was excited to discuss the webseries with Nguyen; in this email interview, we discussed the webseries itself as well as the state of Hollywood when it comes to the (lack of) Asian representation.
