While recording our Minari episode, Eugene and David discussed their feelings on the aftermath of the Atlanta shooting (which, to be honest, already feels like an eternity ago). In this bonus segment, we discuss our thoughts on the shooting and ways we wish to elevate Asian American female voices.

From our last episode's focus on reality TV, we turn to the critically acclaimed independent film Minari. Beyond the accolades and awards (congrats Youn Yuh-jung!), this movie hit home for both David and Eugene on a personal level. We talk about all the ways it did. As always, thank you for listening!

The Heart Wants What It Wants - Bling Empire (Spoilers!) (Ep. 96) 0

Apr 13, 2021

(Note: This episode was recorded before the mass shooting in Atlanta.)

As further proof the pandemic has caused David to crack, look no further than how he fell down the rabbit hole of the (highly entertaining) Netflix reality series, "Bling Empire." It took a little more convincing to get Eugene to join the watch party but -- to no surprise of long time listeners of this podcast -- it turns out Eugene had a lot to say about not only this television show, but reality TV, relationships, romance, and love. As always, thanks for listening!
