The Kaiju Comes to America in Godzilla Minus Zero

And Other Items of Note From Angry Asian America.


GODZILLA MINUS ZERO | First Look Teaser

The first trailer for the upcoming sequel Godzilla Minus Zero has dropped, with a good glimpse of more kaiju goodness. A follow-up to the surprise international hit Godzilla Minus One, the sequel picks up two years after the events of the first movie, continuing the story of the survivors' from the kaiju's last attack.

'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' Star Maya Erskine To Direct Teen Comedy From A24 And Fruit Tree

Mr. and Mrs. Smith star Maya Erskine is set to make her feature film directorial debut on an untitled teen comedy for A24. Details about the movie are under wraps, but the project was reportedly the subject of a heated bidding war. Erskine, who previously has written and directed episodes of the hit Hulu comedy Pen15, apparently blew away the producers and studio with her pitch.




Woman accused of setting fires at 3 Queens businesses, including blaze that destroyed Chinese restaurant

In Queens, a woman is accused of setting fires at three separate establishments on Monday night. One blaze was set at a Chinese restaurant with people living above it, while other fires were set outside a funeral home and a Jewish center. 36-year-old Shaniqua Fort is facing multiple charges, including attempted manslaughter, assault, arson, criminal mischief and petit larceny. While a motive is unclear, police do not believe this was a hate crime targeting either the Asian or Jewish establishments.




Vang: I wasn’t an 'alien.' And neither is anyone else. (Except maybe Superman.)

"In recent months, the Trump administration has revived the use of terms like 'illegal alien' and 'alien' in official communications, reversing a shift under the Biden administration toward more humanizing language like 'undocumented noncitizen' or 'migrant.' To some, this may seem like a technical correction — a return to legal terminology. But to the people described by these words, it feels dehumanizing. So why resurrect these terms now?"

Angry Asian America Episode 4: "Do Your Tweets Create Social Change?"

With co-host Jenny Yang and special guests Taz Ahmed and Jason Lee & Eddie Lee of Jubilee Project

We talk about online activism, Asian Americans, and getting people to give a sh*t. This episode was particularly fun because we get to shoot with some cool Godzilla set pieces at the YouTube Space in Los Angeles. Jenny has waaaay too much fun with a green foam hand. Take a look:

An actual Japanese guy joins the cast of Godzilla



Warner Brothers announced that principle photography has officially begun in Vancouver on a new big-budget modern movie reboot of Godzilla, directed by Gareth Edwards, with a cast that includes Juliette Binoche, Brian Cranston, David Strathairn, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen, among others.

But sorely missing from this ensemble was anyone resembling the fierce movie monster's Japanese roots. Maybe that's why they announced that Ken Watanabe, Actual Japanese Person -- and lately, the studio's go-to Asian guy -- had also joined the cast "Godzilla" Begins Shooting; Ken Watanabe Joins Cast.
