Episode 72 - "He plays the Asian dad in every Hollywood production." [Tales from the Loop, Tigertail] - a podcast by Jason Chen and Robert Snow

As usual, our cold open goes sideways as we get distracted by the news that Disney is rebooting the animal version of ROBIN HOOD - hyperrealistic fox archers, anyone? After that, we dig into two new Amazon Originals: the rotoscoped series UNDONE, starring Rosa Salazar, and the new sci-fi show TALES FROM THE LOOP. Then we hear Jason's expert take on the mixed bag that is Alan Yang's Netflix Original TIGERTAIL, and close out the episode with some chatter about DOLEMITE IS MY NAME.
