Shownotes Transcript

Created by Sydney Norton.

Summary:

Me and my Co-host discuss The Farewell and it's similarities to *Crazy Rich Asians. *Both of these movies are centered around traveling back to Asia for a wedding, though each plot is still very different. Both explore the good times and the hardships that come with returning home.
