Good Pop | Culture Club Potluck Podcast Collective

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?

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.
