Episode 96
Turning Red
On this episode we chat about the new Disney/Pixar film Turning Red, directed by Domee Shi, about a Chinese-Canadian teen who discovers that a family curse causes her to turn into a giant red panda whenever she gets emotional. We chat about the film's themes of puberty (and periods), the culturally-specific nuances of Chinese diaspora culture, and tackle some of the backlash that the film has been getting.

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
NAATCO returns to The Public with their production of Shakespeare's trilogy, HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS, adapted and directed by Stephen Brown-Fried. Condensed into two parts and performed in rep, experience this saga of a nation spinning wildly out of control. Part 1: Foreign Wars kicks off with the funeral of King Henry V, leaving his infant son on the throne and sending the country into decades of spiraling chaos both abroad and at home. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later, as nascent domestic feuds rapidly metastasize into the full-blown civil war known as the War of the Roses.
