Today on the podcast we’re joined by Special Guest Walter Chaw, film critic for Film Freak Central, to discuss writer/director Lee Isaac Chung’s semi-autobiographical film Minari, which despite being about an American family pursuing a version of the American Dream, controversially won Best Foreign Language Film at the 2021 Golden Globe Awards. Listen in as we discuss how this beautifully authentic film insightfully approaches a particular American experience through the story of the Yi family.Time Stamps:8:55 - Main discussion on Minari45:27 - What’s your Freq Out?Special Guest Walter Chaw on increased Asian American visibility and representation in recent film releases along with the increase of hate crime against Asian Americans.Links Mentioned:Walter Chaw’s review of Minari at Film Freak Central: https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2021/01/minari.htmlWalter Chaw’s review of Raya and the Last Dragon at Film Freak Central: https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2021/03/raya-and-the-last-dragon.htmlDenver Pub
