Sound of Metal

The Oscars are coming up at the end of this month so the Good Pop Culture Club will be spending the next few weeks catching up on some nominated films featuring Asian American actors and/or filmmakers. This week we check out Sound of Music, starring Riz Ahmed, a film about a heavy metal drummer dealing with the sudden loss of his hearing.
