Episode 120 - Throwbacks and Model Minorities

Spoiler Alert!  We go back to the pop culture vault and dig deep to discuss "The Debut" starring Dante Basco, Bernadette Balagtas and Joy Bisco.  Sigi and Jezzie reminisce on what this film meant to them at the time of its release in 2000, and the thrill of seeing Filipino culture reflected back through this medium.  Later, your co-hosts explore a recent release and unpack Netflix's "Alway be my Maybe" starring Ali Wong and Randall Park.  They discuss how both films explore and challenge the model minority myth, and encourage listeners to interrogate this expectation.

In the Mix this Week:

• IMdB's entry on "The Debut",
• Trailer of "Always be my Maybe",
• Wikipedia entry on Model Minority Myth
