For our third instalment discussing Michelle Yeoh's filmography, we're diving into the 2018 romantic comedy credited with blasting the doors open in Hollywood for Asian representation... okay Jan.

Crazy Rich Asians is a romantic comedy film with an entirely Asian cast that is often applauded for the representation it provides... but who exactly is the film representing? We get into the complexities of this buzz word, the potential pandering of the film to Western audiences, and Michelle's incredible, composed, and cutting performance as Eleanor Sung-Young.

To be candid, this is our favourite episode yet--we felt the conversation was generative, fun, and still critically reflective on what Crazy Rich Asians does well and where it falls short. We hope you love it, too!!
