In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

Season 1, Ep. 10: Shopping for Fangs
Manage episode 166753701 series 1260100

It's the last episode of the first season of our Saturday School podcast, aka the last "class" of our "semester" on Asian American comedy. We end with the 1998 film Shopping for Fangs, directed by Justin Lin and Quentin Lee, starring an ensemble cast including John Cho, Radmar Agana Jao, Jeanne Chinn, Lela Lee, and Clint Jung.
Brian finds comedy in the way the first-time directors play with genres and the upending of what it means to be human/non-human, straight/gay etc. Ada has a lot of empathy for anyone who's turning into a werewolf, no matter how low-budget the facial hair looks. John Cho doesn't look that different now than he did 20 years ago. And we give a preview to Saturday School Season 2, which will hopefully include lots of love and hotness.
Saturday School is a podcast where we teach your unwilling children about Asian American pop culture history. First season will be about Asian American film comedies. 10 episodes will be released every Saturday at 8am, which is when we were forced to go to Chinese school as kids.
