I’m with you. Dune 2 is, so far, the best picture of the year for me, but this has been my favorite movie of 2024. Also, LTR fully supports the Joan Chen Oscar campaign.

If Joan Chen doesn't get nominated, we riot! (I'm hearing that supporting actress is "soft" this year, so maybe we won't have to.)

I really fucked with this movie. So easily relatable for children of immigrants especially of Asian immigrants.

Jen mentioning there’s a lot of showing and not telling is so 100%.

Antonio’s comment about “oh this is how white people talk through their problems”, yeah I had that thought lol.

I didn’t get there in the pod but joan Chen’s best supporting actor campaign? I’m running it

There were many times I related with didi and as the older brother in my fam, many times I related with the older sister
