I have now Kitbashed Agent Melinda and Yo Yo! I have been buying Female Agents of SHIELD and, because no one wants them, 2 Female Eternals that are cheap at Ollie's! I bought Eternals Sersi who is Asian, and Ajax who is Hispanic, in fact Salma Hayak. With these heads I can now kitbash Agent Melinda May and Yo Yo! I also have a spare Luke Cage I can headswap into a Mack. I already have Coulson and Daisy/Quake. Unfortunately, there isn't good bucks for Fitz and Simmons. But, most of the team is better than none.
I'm 45, have lived a healthy active lifestyle and have aged reasonably well (or so I'm told) ... and she still looks a fair bit younger than me. Crazy.
Ming-Na Wen is one of those actors who makes anything better. As soon as you see her in a movie or show you know "Ah, no matter what at least this character will be incredible."
Yes, happened with Street Fighter back in mid-90's! She was a rare highlight of that one playing iconic Chun-Li, another being great late Raul Julia as M.Bison and that's pretty much it...the only two things that stood out from that caravan of garbage...
@@CantankerousDave I first saw her on a soap opera my mom and sister watched in the late 80s. I thought she was so beautiful and loved seeing her pop up in all kinds of things. The single guy being one of them.
I was on the set of "ER" for episode "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" and I sat on the set while the actors blocked their scene with Nelson McCormick, camera and sound. The actor had their scripts in hand. I recall listening to Ming-Na rehearsing her medical jargon while doing her stage directions. I couldn't do what she did. The medical jargon was frighteningly difficult, and to do it so effortlessly. Wow!
@@LaraA55 Her ability to remember those medical lines astounds me, because she was constantly learning new lines, every 10 days a new episode, and a 21 episode contract with NBC. She was locked in to ER contractually. But she took what I think would scare the average actor and did her part effortlessly. She became Dr. Jing-Mei Chen flawlessly. The scene they were rehearsing was a walk and talk with the camera moving around the ER from character to character.
What a legend. She is SO beautiful and talented ! Casting her as Fennec...You could not see another actor in that role. Ever. What an iconic legendary character she has helped create. She deserves all the flowers
As an eight year old girl watching Star Wars in 1977, Leia became my childhood hero. To have strong badass women like Bo and Fennec carry on that legend in this universe today is so beautiful and satisfying. I'm almost 55 and collect the figures and pops. Kid at ❤ always. Thank you for this conversation and these wonderful characters you both have brought us. Bring on Fennec and Bo in S2 please!
Ming-Na Wen and Katee Sackhoff, Agents of Shield and Battlestar Galactica are two of my favourite DVD collections because of the roles you both play. I watch both of these series regularly and love them like seeing an old friend every time. Great interview ladies.
Bo-Katan and Fennic Shand TOGETHER...I LOVE IT. My two favorite actresses together in on Podcast. I have LOVED Ming-Na since I saw her in ER, then followed her to Agents of Shield and now in Star Wars. LOVE HER.
I saw Joy Luck Club when I was 20 years old and I was captivated. It wouldn't seem like something a white male sci-fi nerd would get into... but the level of story telling and heart in that movie swallowed me up. Ever since I have been a huge fan of Ming-Na Wen.
I just want to throw out there, that my 60-something year old Japanese teacher, just wanted us to watch Mulan because she loved it, and I think I understand because even at her age, she was so excited to have that representation on screen, like Disney had made the film just for her and its delightful.
Years ago I sat next to her at a Laker game about 7 seats back from the floor. She was with her husband and son who was around 8. He was so well behaved and friendly. She should write a parenting book.
I loved Ming-Na in agents of shield! She played her character so amazingly well! I adored the show because of her alone. Tbh she’s the reason I got back into Star Wars and even started watching the Mandalorian. Loved the interview and both of these incredible actresses 🤩
I've loved Ming-Na Wen since I learned she voiced Mulan, when I was about 10 years old. As a massive Star Wars fan, I remember jumping and shouting for joy the second I saw her in The Mandalorian. I can't believe I never realized how absolutely hilarious she is. She had me laughing out loud during the entire podcast. Ageless, stunning, hilarious, and so damn talented.
Ming Na Wen Is A Legend!!! She's Absolutely Incredible!! She's Such A Badass But She's So Adorable!! Can't Believe She's 60, She's Stunning!! She Deserves So Much More!! 👑👑🥰🥰
Love Ming-Na Wen. I had the opportunity to meet her twice at two different cons and she was kind and gracious. By the way, The Joy Luck Club was not an 80s movie. It came out in 1993. And Ming-Na looks like she hasn't aged since then.
Lol I remember having a crush on Ming-Na when she was in The Single Guy sitcom lol...I'm 60 and just assumed she was at least 10 years younger than me.
Ming-Na Wen is one of the most underrated Actress. She is the most talented actress ever. And so real, down to earth on the same level as KR the unageing Stars.
I just want to add to the love for Ming Na Wen as Mulan. I was four years old and swaying in my living room, before social media (fortunately or unfortunately) jumping on our couch and back down to the floor. Quoting all the lines! Her voice is a voice of my childhood.
Great talk!! This was the one I was waiting for and it did not disappoint. I think Ming-Na was thinking about Gil Gerard/Buck Rogers when you were talking about the original Battlestar :)
Any other time I would be annoyed I listened to the audio version, only to find out the video would come out hours later. But this is #1 Katee Sackhoff and #2 Ming-Na Wen. However, I am not annoyed or mad about it. Instead I am listening again. You and Ming-Na Wen are among those people in this world who embody the true definition of the word beauty in the way it was originally intended. The positivity, excitement and good you two put out into the world is a welcomed chisel to the mind that chips away at the ugliness that is observed day-by-day. Best wishes to you and yours, and Thank you.
The beauty here and intelligence just warms my heart. Hearing you both laugh is so rewarding too, and hearing you speak about the fans (us) is very nice.
I wish Katee and Ming-Na Wen were in everything I watched! Two of my favorite actresses of all time, interviewing with each other! Can't get much better than this, folks! Saw Star Wars in the theater in 1977. No Star Wars from 1983 - 1999, except for Special Editions in 1997. Then no Star Wars from 2005 - 2015. These ladies are bringing us Star Wars, y'all!
Ming-Na is an ICON!!! Mulan and Fennec are both such incredible performances by her. She seems like such an amazing person too👏🏼 And makes sense why you’re changing the show around Katee!
I'm a video kinda guy. I love seeing ppl and their actual facial reactions...adds so much to a good interview. Not a podcast guy. Hey....sidenote, I just finally say down and watched Longmire. Such a great show! Goy exactly what I needed from the finale! Rarely ever happens these days. Lol! And my bad....Almost forgot to talk up Ming na. Such a cool down tk earth lady! Love these types of actresses that are tough but all woman. Ladylike and still a force! Love that she came from nothing and knows what poor feels like. Hard work and success...got the American dream for herself. God bless her! Keep doing your thing!
I'm such a huge fan of the two of you!!! I got introduced to Ming through the Agents of Shield, I absolutely loved this show, still rewatch it, cause it's so good! Her character there was one of the reasons why the show managed to eventually run for 7 seasons, I think ❤ And Katee, god, that's so good, I was looking for recent interviews with Ming on TH-cam, and I saw your podcast and then recognized you as Amunet from the Flash. God, you were AMAZING in that role! I've gotta be honest, I was hardcore crushing on you in the Flash 😂❤ Keep up with the podcast, what you're doing is amazing 🎉
I am SO glad you talked about The Joy Luck Club. That is such a BEAUTIFUL movie. Heartbreaking AF but so beautiful. The performances never fail to make me sob, so its my go-to movie for when I want to have a good cry.
Ming-Na Wen…what an utterly charming, beautiful woman in real life. Thank you for having her as a guest. Whatever I happen to catch her in, be it a movie or television show, I found her to personify a character that is magnetic and unforgettable, she adds that much to a scene. It is surprising to hear that she is 60 years. I am sure that it is a combination of good genes & diet, exercise, and a regimen of skin care that makes her appear so youthful. I would really love to see you both together in a series or movie with your Star Wars characters as a spin-off. It would be amazing! It would be only possible with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni…I hope you guys are seeing this and make it happen!
I LOVED this episode. Having recently met and chatted with Ming-Na Wen at FanExpo Toronto last year and finding out we're the same age is inspiring. You two are great together and Filoni should give you a team up show!
Ming-Na Wen is amazing... I really hope to see a lot more of her in the future!.... Btw.. Katee, didn't know about your daughter... You do what is most important to you and your family.. Don't worry about podcasts, video or no video... Not important... Take care and all the strength.. You guys will beat this!
I am so happy you finally we able to release this episode. I have seen the clips for ming na for so long and have been waiting. I am sorry to hear about your daughter. I am sure she will crush it and be better soon. 😊
Mrs. Wen, You are what I love about America. I love that anyone with perseverance and determination can make it. Thank you for being a down to earth person and for not losing yourself in your stardom.
OH MY GOD!!! I hope your daughter gets all of the attention and everything she needs, and that she comes through her treatment with a 100% remission. My prayers and love to your whole family.
She’s awesome I love her in everything she’s in so dam humble. Love how she plays strong ass characters but it always feels fresh. This woman is the dam cavalry!
As an Asian who aspired to be an actor, Ming-Na was one of the very few voices (Mulan) that I could rely on for motivation. When I got into the industry… even in late 2000s, what she is stating was 100% a thing. Asian Americans in the 2020s are finally receiving their flowers so past overdue they’ve wilted and dried but good for us nevertheless!
Ming is so amazing. I love her so much. How can you not. Its not the age is the mileage. they say. So you both must have broken the odometers stuck at 30. You both look wonderful and Katee please keep the video part. Thats why I come to youtube to see these people and live in the moment with them.
What Ming-Na Wen described in 12:17 was what my grandma did to me and my brother. She didn't do the face part though, but other aspects. I believe it's called Fengshui. It is used in many things such as house positions, calenders, and even your birth years (specifically your zodiac year). So my grandma would check my birth year, and then adviced me to find a spouse with certain birth years that would match the animal of my zodiac, which is sometimes funny. It's a really common traditional stuff that Asian parents go into but interesting as well. And her explaining about her Mum's reaction on her college things, and her bluntness is the most Asian thing ever hahahah!
It's funny you would bring up Feng Shui. I spent last weekend looking at my home placement (very general) and it explains a lot. LOL! They have calculators to find your Feng Shui number and that number represents how each direction in your house affects you. So if you're a 1 and the guy you're interested in is a 7, you are exact energy opposites, which just means if you do something to boost your good fortune, with a 7 you're boosting their bad fortune. Interesting thing to think about.
I've been waiting for this one since she was in your old intro. You ladies are amazing together and the energy on this podcast seemed so much fun. Ming-Na has been a favorite of mine since her Mulan days and her commitment to various sci-fi shows. She was solid in Agents of Shield, Stargate SGU and of course now in Star Wars. When she was first on The Mandalorian I almost raged when they killed her and teased her still being alive. Ming-Na was meant to be in this franchise. As a fan of this podcast, I can say I'm willing to wait and understand the format changes. I personally love the video to see the joy of everyone on the show. Do what you need to do and when you can I know fans will be ready,. Great episode. I could have listened for another hour.
Great interview. When you asked her about crushes and she mentions Gil. That's Gil Gerard, who played Buck Rodgers, which everyone also watched if they watched original Battlestar.
Queens 100% Love ya both but as a Star Wars fan, having you both in the SW world is a pure treat for us but we are truly blessed to have yaz here. Salute to you both from New Zealand ❤
Thank You miss Katee Sackhoff for all your hard work your team and all your time thank you very much have a great day wish happiness to your family honest
Name change makes sense and even though I’ll miss the video format, it totally makes sense to switch to audio only. You have to do what’s best financially of course, but more importantly you have to do what’s best for you and your family. Keeping you all in my thoughts, and praying your daughter makes a quick and full recovery.
So love hearing behind the scenes stuff. Two actors I love. Bring starlight to anything they are in. Also both have personalities that lift a cast and benefit any production they are in... ladies I salute you
I was rewatching ER when you first announced this interview where Ming was kicking ass weekly. I have been so looking forward to this one. Love you both for playing strong capable characters. Keep up the great work. I’m so happy your show is back it’s a must watch for me.
Katee I loved this! I also loved how you explained at the end on what you are doing with your show (you don't even have to do that because it's your show LOL). I love Ming-Na as well!!! This was also the first episode I was able to get through the entire thing! Excited to see who else you have conversations with! This is the way.
Great episode!! And I’m excited for the audio-only “travel version” of your show! :) You’re amazing, and thank you for answering all those questions at the end of the episode… Looking forward to future episodes!!
DAMN!! Ming looks incredible for almost 60! looks more like 40 at most. Great podcast - can't wait for the next one - Katee is so natural with her great guests. Keep up the great work katee.
I love this interview. You are great as always. I remember first discovering you on the Kristian Harloff channel being interviewed and just hanging out with him and the chemistry I saw with you guys was amazing and I became an even MORE fan of yours and followed you ever since. Always a Thumbs UP and shared and look forward to all your videos.Very fun and interesting so Thank You for your hard work as we appreciate you. P.S. I can't believe you have haters here. That's crazy and they all need to go away. We all got your back and love you Katee. A+++++ : )))
holy moly the chemistry between you two is off the charts. To the AoS thing which is still to this day one of my fav Marvel shows, but in the day when it was still under Perlmutters boot. I think Feige took over Marvel Studios properly when they did Civil War but I think TV was still Perlmutters responsibility that was to late to integrate AoS properly when he was finally fired in 2023. Even to this day the marvel shows and movies live in their own bubbles.
@@jackseney571 Absolutely. Any issue would be resolved by The Multiverse. So, they could have the same characters from AOS like Melinda May but have their own twist.
This has GOT to be one of the coolest interactions I've ever seen on any podcast. If there were levels to people being down to earth, these lovely ladies would be among the top tier.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a great episode! Also really appreciated the post mortem where you described why the need to move to audio is required (at least for now). If it means we get more of the show you love to do (and we love to consume) I will 100% continue to support the show :)
going to people's houses and having those kick back conversations sounds great and i think will really help the pod stand out from others. and keep on blocking all of the haters!!!!
No matter if it's audio or video, you do you. You are an amazing person! You and your family are in my prayers. God bless! You are such an inspiration. These videos always make my day!
I am absolutely grateful to Filoni for making me discover these two incredible actresses through one of my most beloved franchises. As a young woman, it is a truly blessing to have such quality female representation in the Star Wars universe. You are both excellent role models and great professionals.
She is so amazing. And holy shit...she's older than me. I'm 57 and I look like 200lbs of chewed bubble gum with an angry retired cop head on top. You guys are both amazing, and for the record, I discovered Ming-Na on ER. Thank you for such a great episode.
Agents of Shield doesn't get enough credit, and her role in it always was so amazing.
I loved her in Agents of SHIELD! She was maybe my favorite character! Loved Agent Melinda May. I'd buy her figure there too if they ever make one.
big facts
ditto
I have now Kitbashed Agent Melinda and Yo Yo! I have been buying Female Agents of SHIELD and, because no one wants them, 2 Female Eternals that are cheap at Ollie's! I bought Eternals Sersi who is Asian, and Ajax who is Hispanic, in fact Salma Hayak. With these heads I can now kitbash Agent Melinda May and Yo Yo! I also have a spare Luke Cage I can headswap into a Mack. I already have Coulson and Daisy/Quake. Unfortunately, there isn't good bucks for Fitz and Simmons. But, most of the team is better than none.
I finished binge watching Agents of Shield for the 1st time and I loved it. One of my top 10 favorite comic book tv shows.
And she's 60... Incredible.
I know it's crazy she looks 30 years younger!
I'm 45, have lived a healthy active lifestyle and have aged reasonably well (or so I'm told) ... and she still looks a fair bit younger than me. Crazy.
She didn't change a bit since E.R. I need a contact to the vampire who bite her!
The sad part is, I'm such an old fart that compared to me, she's STILL a sweet young thang.
and Katie is nearly 50!
Ming-Na Wen is one of those actors who makes anything better. As soon as you see her in a movie or show you know "Ah, no matter what at least this character will be incredible."
Yes, happened with Street Fighter back in mid-90's! She was a rare highlight of that one playing iconic Chun-Li, another being great late Raul Julia as M.Bison and that's pretty much it...the only two things that stood out from that caravan of garbage...
She is AMAZING! I love her! Met her a few years ago and she is just sweetheart!
@@Summon256Is that a Mr. Sunday Movies reference?
@@elizabethvalenzuela4425 Are you referring to Katte or Ming Na?
I’ve had a crush on Ming Na for 35 years. Love her in everything I’ve ever seen her in. Which has been a lot.
The first thing I remember her in was a sitcom called The Single Guy back in... 1995, I think?
@@CantankerousDave I first saw her on a soap opera my mom and sister watched in the late 80s. I thought she was so beautiful and loved seeing her pop up in all kinds of things. The single guy being one of them.
Same. Not quite as long but for many years now. It's crazy she looks as smoking at 60 than she did decades ago.
still have a crush on her
The Cavalry 🔥 absolutely loved her in Agents of SHIELD
DON'T call her that.
@@MemeDungeonCheeseshe accepts the nickname now
I met Ming-Na at a convention in December and she was truly wonderful! I don’t think I can meet anyone as cool and nice as her.
I was on the set of "ER" for episode "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" and I sat on the set while the actors blocked their scene with Nelson McCormick, camera and sound. The actor had their scripts in hand. I recall listening to Ming-Na rehearsing her medical jargon while doing her stage directions. I couldn't do what she did.

Ming-Na Wen and Katee Sackhoff, Agents of Shield and Battlestar Galactica are two of my favourite DVD collections because of the roles you both play. I watch both of these series regularly and love them like seeing an old friend every time. Great interview ladies.
Don’t forget Ming-Na was in Stargate too
Bo-Katan and Fennic Shand TOGETHER...I LOVE IT. My two favorite actresses together in on Podcast. I have LOVED Ming-Na since I saw her in ER, then followed her to Agents of Shield and now in Star Wars. LOVE HER.
Agents of SHIELD wouldn’t have worked without Ming-Na! Super underrated and needed a spin-off film. Thanks for continuing to be awesome, Katee!
Man we need an Agent May return
I saw Joy Luck Club when I was 20 years old and I was captivated. It wouldn't seem like something a white male sci-fi nerd would get into... but the level of story telling and heart in that movie swallowed me up. Ever since I have been a huge fan of Ming-Na Wen.
Love Ming Na. Agents of Shield is in my top 3 shows of all time
Loved her in Agents of Shield and Stargate Universe.
Ming Na Wen looks 20 years younger than her age. Amazing shape, In fact it's not a case that she's Katee's friend! 💪
20? I think her face its at her 30's... and her b.0.0.b.s are her 20's 🤣
LOL not even
If I dated Ming Na Wen it would look like I'm dating a younger girl.... and I'm 36
I just want to throw out there, that my 60-something year old Japanese teacher, just wanted us to watch Mulan because she loved it, and I think I understand because even at her age, she was so excited to have that representation on screen, like Disney had made the film just for her and its delightful.

Great talk!! This was the one I was waiting for and it did not disappoint. I think Ming-Na was thinking about Gil Gerard/Buck Rogers when you were talking about the original Battlestar :)
That's exactly what leapt to mind for me as well.

Two awesome ladies who I first saw on the Sci Fi channel!
Amazing women, great actresses!
Two of my favorite Star Wars characters!!!
😎👌
we NEED an episode with Dave. We NEED it
What Ming-Na Wen described in 12:17 was what my grandma did to me and my brother. She didn't do the face part though, but other aspects. I believe it's called Fengshui. It is used in many things such as house positions, calenders, and even your birth years (specifically your zodiac year). So my grandma would check my birth year, and then adviced me to find a spouse with certain birth years that would match the animal of my zodiac, which is sometimes funny. It's a really common traditional stuff that Asian parents go into but interesting as well.
And her explaining about her Mum's reaction on her college things, and her bluntness is the most Asian thing ever hahahah!
It's funny you would bring up Feng Shui. I spent last weekend looking at my home placement (very general) and it explains a lot. LOL! They have calculators to find your Feng Shui number and that number represents how each direction in your house affects you. So if you're a 1 and the guy you're interested in is a 7, you are exact energy opposites, which just means if you do something to boost your good fortune, with a 7 you're boosting their bad fortune. Interesting thing to think about.
I've been waiting for this one since she was in your old intro. You ladies are amazing together and the energy on this podcast seemed so much fun. Ming-Na has been a favorite of mine since her Mulan days and her commitment to various sci-fi shows. She was solid in Agents of Shield, Stargate SGU and of course now in Star Wars. When she was first on The Mandalorian I almost raged when they killed her and teased her still being alive. Ming-Na was meant to be in this franchise.
As a fan of this podcast, I can say I'm willing to wait and understand the format changes. I personally love the video to see the joy of everyone on the show. Do what you need to do and when you can I know fans will be ready,.
Great episode. I could have listened for another hour.
Yay more Katee Sackhoff ❤
Thank you Ming! ❤❤ What a great fun interview! You can tell you guys are friends! Thabk you Katee! I watched it twice! ❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜
This is my favorite podcast ❤😂 so good so fun, Ming Na is amazing ❤
Great interview. When you asked her about crushes and she mentions Gil. That's Gil Gerard, who played Buck Rodgers, which everyone also watched if they watched original Battlestar.
21:29 I love that Ming-Na is confusing old BSG with Buck Rogers 😂 I knew when she did the Twiki impression that she was thinking of that 😂
Ming Na’s cackle is the greatest ever.
Queens 100% Love ya both but as a Star Wars fan, having you both in the SW world is a pure treat for us but we are truly blessed to have yaz here. Salute to you both from New Zealand ❤
Thank You miss Katee Sackhoff for all your hard work your team and all your time thank you very much have a great day wish happiness to your family honest
Name change makes sense and even though I’ll miss the video format, it totally makes sense to switch to audio only. You have to do what’s best financially of course, but more importantly you have to do what’s best for you and your family. Keeping you all in my thoughts, and praying your daughter makes a quick and full recovery.
So love hearing behind the scenes stuff. Two actors I love. Bring starlight to anything they are in. Also both have personalities that lift a cast and benefit any production they are in... ladies I salute you
Both you lovely ladies are amazing and so down to earth…..what a joy to listen too…..😎
I was rewatching ER when you first announced this interview where Ming was kicking ass weekly. I have been so looking forward to this one. Love you both for playing strong capable characters. Keep up the great work. I’m so happy your show is back it’s a must watch for me.
Katee I loved this! I also loved how you explained at the end on what you are doing with your show (you don't even have to do that because it's your show LOL). I love Ming-Na as well!!! This was also the first episode I was able to get through the entire thing! Excited to see who else you have conversations with! This is the way.
Both of these ladies are awesome, and I’m so happy the video is back 👍
Bo-Katan interviewing Fennec Shand?!?! Sign me the hell up!
She's Kara Thrace. Starbuck. Please respect the Legend :)
Great episode!! And I’m excited for the audio-only “travel version” of your show! :) You’re amazing, and thank you for answering all those questions at the end of the episode… Looking forward to future episodes!!
I liked Ming-Na Wen when she was an agent of shield.
DAMN!! Ming looks incredible for almost 60! looks more like 40 at most. Great podcast - can't wait for the next one - Katee is so natural with her great guests. Keep up the great work katee.
This interview is pure joy. 😁🤩
Ming Na When and Katee Sackhoff are both Sooo 🔥🔥🔥
I love this interview. You are great as always. I remember first discovering you on the Kristian Harloff channel being interviewed and just hanging out with him and the chemistry I saw with you guys was amazing and I became an even MORE fan of yours and followed you ever since. Always a Thumbs UP and shared and look forward to all your videos.Very fun and interesting so Thank You for your hard work as we appreciate you. P.S. I can't believe you have haters here. That's crazy and they all need to go away. We all got your back and love you Katee. A+++++ : )))
It makes me happy how excited you are for this! I look forward to listening when I can!! ❤
holy moly the chemistry between you two is off the charts.
To the AoS thing which is still to this day one of my fav Marvel shows, but in the day when it was still under Perlmutters boot. I think Feige took over Marvel Studios properly when they did Civil War but I think TV was still Perlmutters responsibility that was to late to integrate AoS properly when he was finally fired in 2023. Even to this day the marvel shows and movies live in their own bubbles.
They should stay in a bubble. I think it allows for more creative freedom.
Also, Colson was supposed to be dead so none of the Avengers could see him in a movie!
@@jackseney571 Absolutely. Any issue would be resolved by The Multiverse. So, they could have the same characters from AOS like Melinda May but have their own twist.
I just stumbled upon this after nostalgia-hunting for recent videos with AoS cast members. This is so cool!
Katee, do what you want! The reward will present itself in due time, and the fun ride may be the exciting part…
loved this!! 💙
This has GOT to be one of the coolest interactions I've ever seen on any podcast.
If there were levels to people being down to earth, these lovely ladies would be among the top tier.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a great episode! Also really appreciated the post mortem where you described why the need to move to audio is required (at least for now). If it means we get more of the show you love to do (and we love to consume) I will 100% continue to support the show :)
going to people's houses and having those kick back conversations sounds great and i think will really help the pod stand out from others. and keep on blocking all of the haters!!!!
No matter if it's audio or video, you do you. You are an amazing person! You and your family are in my prayers. God bless!
You are such an inspiration. These videos always make my day!
Love you both. Such s wonderful human beings.
Oh wow, two of my fav actors in some of my fav (sci-fi, etc.) movies/series! This is a good day.
I am absolutely grateful to Filoni for making me discover these two incredible actresses through one of my most beloved franchises. As a young woman, it is a truly blessing to have such quality female representation in the Star Wars universe. You are both excellent role models and great professionals.
She is so amazing. And holy shit...she's older than me. I'm 57 and I look like 200lbs of chewed bubble gum with an angry retired cop head on top.
You guys are both amazing, and for the record, I discovered Ming-Na on ER. Thank you for such a great episode.
Ming-Na simply does not age.
Have followed her since JLC. She's awesome. And gorgeous. Keep on gettin' it , Ms. Wen!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what a couple of great actresses. Greatings from Chile 🇨🇱
These two women are the best and are two very good reasons to love Disney Star Wars. Loving this interview!
Welcome back Katee! What an awesome show with Ming-Na 😎 Laughed my ass off 🤣
Two brilliantly talented & gorgeous actors, they are totally awesome
