Episode description

Prepare several hot dogs, put your pagers on silent mode, and get ready to dive into Alice Wu's first feature film, 2004's Saving Face. Joining us with, really, only good things to say about this movie is Laurel's other (and first!) co-host from the podcast Working Classy.

We talk about...

  • GAY PANIC!
  • So much representation it was initially unbearable for some of us!
  • Wil's strangely thorough oral hygiene
  • The struggle to make timeless, iconic Joan Chen seem like Wil's frumpy mom
  • How the film has to juggle TWO whole love stories in 90 minutes
  • Hot dogs
