Episode 209
Didi
On this episode of Good Pop, we check out this year's Asian American Sundance indie darling DIDI, a coming of age story written and directed by Sean Wang about a kid from Fremont in the summer of 2008 as he struggles with changes in his life, family, and friends during his last summer before entering high school. We dive into all the cringe of 13 year old boys, reminisce about 2008 technology, and share our thoughts on this new Asian American classic.

Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
