Crazy Rich Asians, plus The Meg and The Wife Plus the New Oscar Category!




Sitting Around Talking Movies  show

Summary: We're not Asian, or rich but we may be crazy, which is why we can't wait to talk about "Crazy Rich Asians." It's the first movie with an all-Asian cast since "The Joy Luck Club" came out in 1993 - before most of its audience was even born. It's also the first rom-com to come out in a very long while. Is it the old formula with a new twist? We also talk about "The Meg." That's the giant shark movie which stars Jason Statham? Is it the next "Jaws" or a fish out of water? Bill McCuddy talks about "The Wife" which has Oscar buzz for Glenn Close, and Neil talks about the new season of "Ozark." We also discuss the new Oscar category for "Best Achievement in Popular Film." Does it make the Oscars more relevant or does it cheapen the Academy Awards. It sparks some heated discussion so listen in!
