I have this record,like it very much

Michael Jackson gets a I don’t care if he mollested young children but dog fights organized by an athlete are a no go? Because artists are different from athletes? Are you for real?

Yes random man, the show is about road rage and being an American. It's not about depression, self worth, being and feeling seen and the disconnect mentally ill people feel. If you don't have the comprehension to delve into complex narratives don't review complex shows. Go watch Marvel.

Really enjoyed listening to your conversation, so interesting to see the different things people pull away from the same movie

So interesting. I am going to watch... thank you guys.... somehow I think I see myself a bit in this movie.

Commenting! 😅

Bahahahahahahahahaha

Love hearing your social commentary on current v. 1982 pop culture...But where's the movie?

I was 17 when this movie came out and I was in Orange County. Not only is the movie extremely accurate in how we acted and what we talked about but also the music was amazing as is was ALL music that was playing on the radio top 40 right at that time. I knew guys exactly like Jeff Spicoli. When I watch the movie it's like going back into a time machine. EVERY boy lusted after Phoebe Cates. After seeing the movie I went and Read the book by Cameron Crowe. Most of the book is depicted in the film with a few notable scenes. But overall the look and feel of the film was very spot on.

It deals with toxic shame and the shame bound identities or “role selves” that many Asian Americans find themselves in. Immigrant parents heap expectation on their children and demand perfection leading to a false persona, a polished veneer, as you are viscerally taught who you are as an actual human is not even close to being good enough.

I like Kim's Convenience! Empathy and Transcendence would be a beautiful start for an award introduction, which I hope this show wins many of!

I’ll only want a season 2 if Taylor Jenkins Reid writes another book or the script because it has to be done right

I really didn't like the book; am I the only one that feels that way? I loved the series so much; there was so much more in the series than in the book! I wish they could do a second season, but I just want to see more of Daisy and Billy and how they get back together and what they do. (from Sandi)

Two things, I am not an English speaker but thanks to the good diction and the subtitles I can understand. And I really liked your analysis.

I feel like this is generational thing, I don’t think it’s exclusive to only Asian Americans! As a 40 year old white woman I feel just as much pressure and loneliness which is a big problem for everyone our age! It’s not a race thing. Why does everything have to be about race! Their both fucking American!! I’m first generation German! I don’t go around calling myself German American!

Nobody is putting black characters in movies to spite fans. The fact that she is black or that there are black elves is NOT a scandal! People audition and the best actors are picked. The fact that white people are acting like Halle was just selected for political reasons and there was some better white actress who was not selected is ridiculous. Africa is the oldest civilization on earth, black people have been around since the beginning of time. Everywhere, including England. We didn’t just pop up as slaves in America. Sir, you said a lot more about yourself than you did about the movie. Yikes 🤦🏾‍♀️

Yumé stole the show!

the problem is not that she puts this badly flamed brat back in place, the problem raised that you evade, it's what this whole society of motherfuckers does with their smartphones

I don’t know much about Koreans outside of a few dramas (which in sure are VERY representative of the culture lol). But even I knew immediately a big part of this show was a commentary on Korean culture and specifically what I gathered was the Korean American experience. The negotiation of culture and assimilation. There were patriarchal commentaries. Commentaries on class and how those experiences differ but also how they mirror one another. Obviously the therapy stuff the generational trauma and unwillingness to confront issues. There was so much there and I imagine someone who is Korean would have gotten way more.

I completely agree with the part about many Asian Americans (and I’m sure immigrants in general) having to grow up fast. When your parents don’t speak the language you have to help and lead them on things you have no concept about (taxes, legal matters, business). You feel like your parents are helpless in many ways and that its your job is to protect them, and it makes it feel like you don’t have the guidance you need to navigate your early life. All while feeling this debt that you feel like you can never repay because they made so many sacrifices so that I can live the way that I do.

Please do more!

the white dude can't recognize Amy's mom speaks with Vietnamese accent... but the Asian girl gets it.

Been looking for a channel like this thank you

I have to agree, Steven shines in this role and owned it. The entire rest of the cast...that was some incredible acting as well. I believed every second of this story. It was so well written too, I absolutely loved this series. The psychedelic awakening and personal connection was perfect.

Very relatable show even as a Korean Korean

I feel like its an overall “Asian-American” experience. I relate to Ali’s character cuz Im also a Jungle Asian in a a Fancy Asian world… and I do feel they wove that experience into her character, coming from a broken, poor, newly immigrant family trying to keep it together vs. her husband’s rich & established family (who’s just as messed up but more put together.)

Usa not America please.

3:18 as a white person, i can easily say that the pressure to take care of your parents is there for everyone, but NOT NEARLY as persistent as it is for asian people specifically korean. i don’t know why statements like that ‘offend’ white people.

SPOILERS: Now That I Think About Jordana And How She Died, It’s Representative Of Her Split Between Amy And Naomi. Half Of Her Left In The Chaos With Any And Half In The Safe Space With Naomi (Who Ironically Kills Her). Naomi Splitting Jordana In Half Shows How Fast She Was To Cut Ties With Jordana. Literally. Why Naomi Had Jordana Sexually, Amy Had Jordana’s Mind. Amy Was Always On Her Mind. Naomi Got Jealous Cus She Wanted Both Halves Of Her. She Did Get The Upper Half Eventually. XD Also Jordana Had A Western Superiority Complex While Making Racist Remarks About Amy’s Koyohaus Line And Her Dating Naomi Who Was Submissive To Her Whim And Was Basically AT Trophy Asian Wife.

I agree that people need someone to fight with or confront. Its easier than confronting their own reality.

Empathy. That made me think of when they started speaking the same and then Danny is Ali and vice versa.

She reminds me of my mom. And my mom has Chinese dad, Vietnamese mom. And way she is, is very like that character. I am also 37, so I relate to all of these characters. My big brother is also born in Thailand and I was born in Canada and my brother reminds me of Danny holding me back too. And taking care of family etc. and I’m the bitcoin guy.

🥺🫶🏻💙🎞️

I mean, how do you expect a White man of all people to know what it's like to be Asian American lol?

I love this commentary, the insight on South Korean culture is very much so appreciated. I saw this movie a few years ago and you've madd me want to watch it again with this perspective and information in mind. Thank you!

Growing up my korean brothers finally we can see. It’s funny they are quiet and nice. Keep it real Downey California ❤❤❤❤

So Thai films are not usually this great? Yes, this was really good. Thai Cinema is actually more intelligent that some other cinema from the Southeast Asian region. But Thai Cinema has to be distinctly, Thai. Their horror genre is great. I thought this was a horror film. But it was better.

🇺🇸 I disagree... you CAN REPLACE with white, black, Hispanic, Indian, etc. Look in history... immigrants of German. Italians, Irish, etc. 3rd, 4th etc generations will be more "American". Its universal!

You can swap the races to literally any other race and the show would still be okay. Race is not important in the show.

I’m not Asian but I’m Latina and you just helped me understand better why therapy hasn’t worked super well for me. I always feel like I have to do my therapists “homework” and feel a certain way after, and I don’t feel comfortable questioning or pushing back because it makes me feel like a failure or ingrate or something. And instead of feeling free and uplifted it just feels like another relationship I have to manage and perform in. Further complicating things is that my therapist is a white guy and there are certain aspects of my experience that I have to go out of my way to explain to him, or he doesn’t even consider to ask me about in the first place. He’s not a bad therapist but I don’t think we are a good fit.

I genuinely enjoyed your video

Love your guys minds! I loved this show, I binged the whole thing. Being Korean American this show really hit home on many levels

I love your voice . I feel the order difference being the eldest and definitely feel the weight a lot to take care of my parents …

Despite it being funny, it's pretty shitty Netflix portrays Filipinos as criminals.

I’m so impressed w Steven Yuen! Just in awe by first episode. When he chewed those fries binging and throwing up. And swallowing it in… stuffing it all down. I have seen this man rage. He played it so well.

Don’t forget it’s a fictional book,,,,don’t overthink it…I think it was well done,,creative and you might want to watch it or read it again

Who was the author or philospher mentioned at 7:55 ? That sounded interesting

Please watch the series, pure entertainment, you won't be disappointed.

ThiS show is the modern day depiction of depression

First generation Chinese here, I love the show. I think it sheds light on my mentality and it rings so true to me that there is a lot of internalized pressure to perform to be in a relationship with family. When that performance falls short, it turns into anger and anxiety, because the goal is blocked. This doesn't only go for oneself but toward their spouse, children, or even friends.
