CRAZY RICH ASIANS (2018): MICHELLE YEOH a CONSTANCE WU - PART 2
Asians, let’s inhale and exhale. Time for a heart-to-heart talk on some deep underlying issues within our community. This week, Diego (@mistercagara) and I continue our “Crazy Rich Asians” discussion by talking about some of the controversies surrounding the movie such as Henry Golding’s casting as a biracial person, the movie not doing so well in China, and Awkwafina’s “Blaccent”. We also share our personal experiences with not feeling “Asian enough” and how we really feel about some specifically toxic Filipino traits within the community. And of course, we make note of and celebrate the strides in Asian representation in mainstream media since Crazy Rich Asians and how this movie impacted our lives. LOGLINE: This contemporary romantic comedy, based on a global bestseller, follows native New Yorker Rachel Chu to Singapore to meet her boyfriend's family. *Email us for show notes: divadailiespod@gmail.com *Twitter a Instagram: @divadailiespod *Diva Hotline: 714-729-3121 TIME STAMPS: - Pop Corn a Pop Stars (03:05) - Spill the Technicolor Tea (14:47) - Tinseltown Showdown (45:17) - Show Me the Receipts (48:05) - Closing Thoughts/Impact (54:22) - Coming Attractions (68:14)
