This week, Glenn and Daniel are joined by special guest Cheryl Hou to review Crazy Rich Asians, the first American studio film in 25 years to feature a predominantly Asian and Asian-American cast. Be warned: This film will be compared to both Love Actually and Fifty Shades, emerging mostly unscathed from the experience (71:37).

May contain NSFW language.

FilmWonk rating: 7/10 (Glenn), 5/10 (Daniel), 7.5/10 (Cheryl)

• Music for this episode is the tracks, “Give Me a Kiss” by Jasmine Chen and Katherine Ho‘s outstanding Chinese-language cover of “Yellow” by Coldplay, from the film’s soundtrack.
