Starring Cathy Ang, Phillipa Soo, Robert G. Chiu, Ken Jeong, John Cho, Ruthie Ann Miles, Margaret Cho, Kimiko Glenn, Artt Butler and Sandra Oh. Watch OVER THE MOON, on Netflix this fall.


I reckon the "Moon Goddess" is "Chang'e / 嫦娥" the Chinese goddess of the moon, isn't it?! "Best known for stealing an elixir of immortality from her husband, Hou Yi," her story is celebrated as part of the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, or as you might recognize as "Mooncake Festival" ~ (NOT official name, I know LOL)!
