On this episode, we return to the alternate history Regency England of Netflix's Bridgerton, which just released the first half of its third season, to follow the love story of fan favorite Penelope... and also Colin I guess. Will this steamy tale of friends becoming lovers live up to the hype to rise as good pop?

On this episode of Good Pop, in honor of APAHM and the recently announced remake, we check out the classic Ang Lee romantic dramedy from 1993 THE WEDDING BANQUET. Does this 31 year old film about generational differences and family expectations hold up today as good pop? And if it does, what does that say about the Asian American films that have come out since?

On this episode, we check out the new HBO series THE SYMPATHIZER, the prestige TV adaptation of Viet Thanh Nguyen's Pulitzer Prize winning novel about a North Vietnamese spy embedded in the South Vietnamese secret police, who is tasked with keeping tabs on his colleagues as they settle in America as refugees after the fall of Saigon. Along the way, he has to deal with microaggressions from all sides as he tries to reconcile his own identity as a spy, friend, and sometimes Hollywood consultant.
