Description
Did we fall into a time warp back into the 1960s- because Jim Crow 2.0 is back baby! In Georgia! We ask the question what do people really mean when they say "Conservative"? What does it have to do with the oppression of other people? We gush and highlight some really amazing media starring AAPI leads: the delicious gay film Monsoon, the period supernatural mystery show The Irregulars, cartoon adult superhero show Invincible, and Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon- was it queer baiting us- because we are taking that bait! We see you queer princesses. Guest co-host Teressa Attridge (she/her) takes center stage giving us the Broadway and Hollywood diversity stats- and they're not great. This leads us into further conversations about why representation matters, and Teressa opens up about personal experiences over the last year being attacked because she's Asian American, what this year and moment have bene for her, and her call to action for us to unite to dismantle white supremacy. GUEST CO-HOST: Teresa Attridge – is a biracial, bicoastal, bisexual currently living in NYC. A lover of cartoons, high fantasy, and other forms of socially conscious escapism, she believes in utilizing art as an act of service. A proud AAPI actor, writer, and lover of spam.
