The first rated R movie I watched in theaters was Harold & Kumar, with my korean mother, who barely spoke english. I remember seeing the trailers for the movie back when I was in middle school and being super excited to see a korean actor on the big screen. When my friend and I got to the movie theater, we were heartbroken because we were under age. Frantically I ran out to the parking lot and begged my mother to watch with us. She was easily convinced after I told her the lead actor in the movie was a korean man. Thank you John Cho for the hilarious movie and the awkward conversations I later had to have with my mother about animal seamen. And thank you to Tigerbelly and the Slept King for this episode!

I like watching this podcast to see Bobby grow as a person.

That, in turn, has also helped me acknowledge some of my insecurities. So thanks, Bobo. I appreciate it.

Honestly expressing yourself...it is very difficult to do. I mean it is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky and be flooded with a cocky feeling and then feel like pretty cool...or I can make all kind of phony things, you see what I mean, blinded by it or I can show you some really fancy movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself...now that, my friend, is very hard to do. Bruce Lee

@Blia Yang I grew up in Canada where we have lots of citizens of Asian descent so I was always confused when every Asian person on screen was some 18th century Chinese man This guy is the first actor where I felt like it was really what Asian people in America are like

[@JonahNelson7]

@@keircampbell9374 the US is comparable in terms of Asian proportion, the people who never saw an Asian person who actually grew up in the US probably just don't live in a major city, which seems to be a higher proportion because of all the habitable space. As far as I understand it more Canadians live in more concentrated areas. I myself grew up in a small town and only knew of three half Asian people until I was 18, that was it. It didn't affect how I saw Asian people, but it does for quite a few people who grow up in small towns, such that their conception of them is based fully on media

Wow, loved this ep! I really got to know John Cho, of course I know his movies, but not the person behind it. He’s like a yoda, with his perspectives on life, and his intelligence. So enjoyed listening to him, and what he has to say. Bobby and John together is so good. V different characters , but hilarious chemistry. Def bring him back. I’m going to read his children’s book , when it comes out. Sounds really cool.

[@arnabganguly5942]

Was just watching cowboy bebop the other day and wondering what if John would drop by. Thanks guys!!

[@speedjaycer]

John Cho is a legend, I can not wait for him to do another comedy! Bobby I swear if you're not in it imma cry all moist like.

[@Stampede215]

Love John Cho!!! Hopefully Cowboy Bebop gets a 2nd season!!! I'm also in favor of Bobby starting a new podcast describing movies!!!! That would be hilarious!!

[@possumlodge5368]

Already canceled. Opinions about the show aside, Netflix is notorious for bailing on projects after 1 or 2 seasons. It's almost not worth getting invested in anything they make unless it's already been seen through to the end.

[@DeadpoolNJ]

Cowboy Bebop was awesome, hope for a second season.

[@jcruminski]

I think this is my favorite episode of Tiger Belly. John Cho, what a class act, and a great guest.

[@JBEATS-cn9ht]

COWBOY BE-BOP is my new favorite show, please drop season 2

[@knicksguy602]

Lol at Khalyla’s smirk at Bobby when John Cho says we don’t need tacky asian jokes in circulation and our cultural conscience anymore…full well knowing that right there is Bobby’s whole act 😂

[@sayapitham115]

Best tigerbelly podcast yet! Thank God you were unemployed long enough to think outside the box and create this podcast! Loved the conversation topics in this episode 🔥

[@marcusshaner7066]

John is way cooler than I realized. I'm hoping he's in Bobby's life a lot more now. He's a very positive influence.

[@jasonbrophy7921]

One of the best episodes ever you went mean girls on John 48:16

[@yfz450rider39]

Love John Cho, the Cowboy Bebop Netflix series is awesome. I don't care what anyone says, I HOPE it gets more seasons.

[@johnjohnjohn1647]

I though cowboy bebop smashed! Loved it!

[@HisLostSheep]

So good. Bobby always brings up that story of the medic and John coming to his rescue. Awesome he remembers that. True story!

[@Soapcloud705]

Cho’s fantastic as Spike. Good interview as always guys 👍🏼

[@MrRawsin]

I've watched a lot of podcast over the years and none can even compare to TigerBelly so many genuine conversations filled with wisdom,comedy,life lessons, and stuff i never knew about other cultures.. hands down #1 podcast on earth

[@hipnhappenin]

I used to give Asian actors some empathy when they take these really degrading roles because I think, what would any unemployed actor do just to get an in? But thank God we have people like John Cho who have enough self-respect in themselves and their background to actually be picky and not perpetuate stereotypes.

[@GKTorn.]

But you still feel for the Asian actors that have to, and had to, take those stereotypical roles, right?

[@hipnhappenin]

@@GKTorn. Well, like what John said, whatever position you feel you need to be in in life in order to turn down those roles is valid.

[@Scout555]

He did well for himself but he was no Kato and he ain’t no Spike. Be honest with yourselves.

[@GameOgreDonkey]

@@Scout555 yeah. The beginning where he said that racism was in the language of casting actors....really? So characters written as a certain race doesn't matter in story telling? I'm sure it is exactly the same in Korea for white actors.

[@HO-yc3pv]

@@GameOgreDonkey Well United States is not a homogenous country like South Korea so the comparison itself is moot... There are almost no white person who identifies himself as a Korean whereas there are just so many Asians who identify as an American who speak fluent English.

[@Curtis.Carpenter]

Man ive got so much respect for Mr. John Cho
