The Rogin Kim Cast

Los Angeles was once Mexico. Now it's a shining city sitting atop a tent metropolis of meth and misery! California is on fire! But what's most important is, are superhero movies cinema?!?!?

I explain why I have no Asian friends.

War! Huh! What is it good for? Maintaining hegemony and an economy based on perpetual war and fossil fuels and neither party cares!

Spoiler-free review of Joker! And Midsommar! And Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Not really. Martin Scorcese would say that this podcast, just like comic book movies, are not cinema, and I would agree no matter how much Kevin Smith cries. The winner of the Golden Lion shoulda been Scorcese for Taxi Driver and King of Comedy.

FAKE NEWS. That's what this podcast is. I talk about comedy in an aborted fashion. I make suggestions for microdosing that are mostly accurate. NOTE: Lysergi.com is closed. I can't vouch for Chem Theory, but I'll check them out one day and let you know. But the Fadiman, crypto stuff is still legit. 5ug of ALD-52 following the Fadiman protocol has done me good, but you may have side effects like in...

I’ve been stuck in a poverty cycle and trying to get jobs. Random jobs in an attempt to work remotely and with weed. Let’s talk about the media landscape! That’s gotta be boring as shit for some, but maybe interesting fo others! Andrew Yang taught me about gookies via Cumtown, which led to the birth of the Gookie Monster. Greta Thunberg is getting attacked, but aren’t we hurting the kids enough al...

This podcast is for Asian Americans. All others are welcome, but please check you privilege at the door, much like you would your shoes entering an Asian household. I decided to do this in light of the Shane Gillis/SNL cringe fest over the weekend, and talk about self-esteem vs group identity, as well as why “journalism” has told us nothing about Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman.

Brinan Weeks (@brinanweeks) joins me this episode and we talk about his experience becoming bicoastal for two separate women, getting educated on education, his show biz dad, and more!

This episode of the Kimcast I have on filmmaker, Nicole Brending, who is the brilliant mind behind the film, Dollhouse: The Eradication of Female Subjectivity from American Popular Culture, a hilarious satire of popular culture and how women are simultaneously objectified and eradicated by a ravenous sociopathic public. If you loved Team America, this is right up your alley, unless you hate chicks...

Comedian and director, Bronston Jones (@bronstonjones) joins me this episode to talk about film, comedy and life. He’s been hosting a comedy show at the Venice Underground every week on Wed nights for the past eight years. Check out his show and his podcast, I YAM WHAT I YAM.

Ben Herwitz (@ben_herwitz) has assured me that he is Jewish, so everything he says in the podcast is Kosher.

It's Episode 100! We start off with a special guest lecture from Dr. Rogin B Peterson, who is best known for the controversial stance on nonbinary lobsters.  Then isn’t regular ol’ Rogin talking about regular Rogin things as we do. Mostly, it seems he is wrestling with the ghosts of adolescence in the form of old acquaintances who approach him for advice and then turn on him using politics.

Mitchell Lamar (@imitchelllamar) joins me this episode to talk about his role as a guide to the spirit realm while inadvertently revealing top secret Air Force secrets that the Russians could use against you just like your FaceApp data. The integrity of his soul is put to the test by the Devil, and many truths revealed.

The white man needs a hug, and Ron Bush has been hugging them until they beg for more on the road for the better part of a decade. But he’s only one man, we all need to pitch in. We have a great talk starting off with Ancient Aliens and then discussing the thing middle-aged men always do- what’s wrong with the country

A spiritually empty material existence plagues some of us, and we're the lucky ones! Just imagine being just about anywhere else! I try to shamelessly talk about the most trending topics at the moment in hope of bots finding my feed and giving the numbers a bumpski.

Everything on social media is a secret ad running on an algorithm designed to social engineer you into the perfect consumer. No big deal, right? The old saying is true, “if you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product.” Rob(@robthemutant) is the founder and CEO of Mutant Capitalist, a B2B digital marketing and B2B sales agency, who hired me a couple of years ago to make videos for weed g...

Happy Pride! Joining me this episode is Mia Mars (@miafuckingmars). Neither of us are gay, but we are weirdos! Mia and I have a chat about our shared Jewish and Asian heritage, her family history, serial killers, and growing up in LA!

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! How's your mental health? How do you deal with intrusive thoughts that urge you to listen to right wing guests on podcasts just out of curiosity, like Milo Yiannopoulos on the Legion of Skanks, but no! You can't! It's forbidden! Imagine what they'll say- "Not a good look." That's worse than death, to not look good. It's quite a strain on the psyche, and in the...

Life is sacred, but death makes all the cash! The right to an abortion is being challenged all over the country, while we provide no health care and rain fire down upon the heads of babies overseas. We are the rootin-tootin, shootin, nukin, bad mofo of the world and we are saying don’t let that baby dies in the womb, let it die in the classroom. None of it makes any sense, unless it’s part od the...

Happy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage And Mental Health Awareness Month. May brings us a nice mish-mash of two groups that sorely need attention- Asians and the mentally ill. It’s a pretty tight Venn diagram between the two, speaking from personal experience. Also, LET’S HEAR IT FOR DENVER!!!!! They are the first US city to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms and this could be the beginnin...

Comedian Arthur Hamilton joins me to talk about his upcoming special at the Skiptown Playhouse and growing up in Pacoima, CA. Of course, I interject historical context to black and Asian relations and the residential segregation of Los Angeles. We have a great talk about some of our early comedy experiences and Arthur tells me about how he was a banker in Arizona until he was caught with weed.

There are more Democratic candidates than there are Avengers and beloved characters at Winterfell combined. So much is going on, but it’s hard to see what’s real and what’s fake anymore, especially when we’re in such a position of privilege to not worry about survival. Of course, we are all just one medical bill away from financial ruin in America, which makes it the best reality show of all- walk...

Steven Belkowski is, a comic I met in the open mic scene in LA who is a traveler both physically and psychedelically. We talked about his experience as a military brat growing up in Indonesia as a right wing Catholic lad, similar to the Covington kids! He would have definitely rocked the MAGA hat to town some libs back in his day. However, moving to Virginia changed all that and once he saw how pe...

LA is a vampire. Plain and simple. It sucks the water from it’s neighbors in order to sustain a manufactured metropolis in the desert. And I’m ALL IN, BABY!!! This week I am taking a stand for the children, especially child actors. They are the broken by-product of a billion dollar system that seems to exist purely for entertainment at best and an institutionalized safe-haven for pedophiles. The o...

My guest this episode is comedian Niles Abston, who has an animated project he’s working on called, Planet Blak, a stoner sci-fi comedy about a young black man who’s been recruited to sell weed for aliens. We discussed how he was inspired by the harsh drug laws of his home state of Mississippi and then we have a great conversation about the War on Drugs, America’s history of war in Asia, Black and...
