The Wedding Banquet (2025)
On this episode, we return to The Wedding Banquet for Andrew Ahn's reimagined take on Ang Lee's 1993 classic romantic comedy! But does the story of faking a wedding to placate your relatives hold up in 2025? Join us as we dive into the ways the remake updates The Wedding Banquet's formula to tell a wholly new story celebrating the highs and lows of modern queer life.

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
The National Asian American Theatre Company’s acclaimed production of HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS brings an all-AANHPI cast to The Public Theater for a decades-spanning saga of Joan of Arc, warring dukes, and the bloody birth of the War of the Roses. Adapted by Stephen Brown-Fried, this is Shakespeare like you've never experienced it. Part 1: Foreign Wars opens with a king dead, an infant on the throne, and a country already coming apart at the seams. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later...and the bloodbath is yet to come. Simmering feuds explode into the War of the Roses, and nothing will ever be the same. Performances from June 9 through July 19! Use code H6BC for $59 tickets!
