  1. Interior Chinatown

    1 DAY AGO

    Interior Chinatown

    For our last regular Good Pop episode of the year, we check out the Hulu television adaptation of Charles Yu's award winning novel, Interior Chinatown, starring Jimmy O Yang as Willis Wu, a background character in a world within a police procedural, as he rises through the ranks while investigating what happened to his older brother. But will this meta-fictional story about the Asian American experience ascend to the ranks of good pop? What's Popping? - Xmas Season, Squid Game S2, Secret Level Follow our hosts: Marvin Yueh - @marvinyuehJess Ju - @jessjutweetsHanh Nguyen - @hanhonymous Follow the show and engage with us at @goodpopclub Part of the Potluck Podcast Collective Produced by HappyEcstatic Media Mentioned in this episode: Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR "Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.

We at Good Pop love a good teen movie and especially love a good teen rom com, will Sweethearts have the juice to break through as good pop?

  3. Wicked Part 1

    DEC 7

    Wicked Part 1

    On this episode, we dive into the first half of Jon M Chu's adaptation of Wicked (which is my the transitive property, now an Asian American film)! A re-imagining of the immensely popular stage musical based on the book that itself is a re-imagining of the original Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of its villain. Expectations for the film were sky high, will another Jon Chu adaptation break through as good pop once again?

    Christmas with the Singhs

    Here at the Good Pop Culture Club, the holidays don't begin until we check out the year's Asian American Hallmark Xmas film (but only because its almost always relegated to the start of the season). This year's entry is Christmas with the Singhs, a story a recently engaged couple who returns to their suburban hometown for Xmas, only to deal with a variety of parental shenanigans that threaten to tear them apart. We kind of know what we're in for, but could this be the year a Hallmark Asian American film finally breaks through?

    Conclave

    The whole crew is back together again in our first episode in the new timeline, and processing the recent US election by diving into a film about a very different election Conclave, a political mystery thriller about the administration of the election of a new pope, and the machinations of power amongst the high level cardinals seeking to win the title. Our real world election was very much not good pop, but will the one in Conclave be?
