More recently, Jay has also directed episodes of Fresh Off the Boat, The Goldbergs, Speechless, and Schooled.His new film is Easter Sunday.Stand-up comedy sensation Jo Koy (Jo Koy: In His Elements, Jo Koy: Comin' in Hot) stars as a man returning home for an Easter celebration with his riotous, bickering, eating, drinking, laughing, loving family, in this love letter to his Filipino-American community. Easter Sunday features an all-star comedic cast that includes Jimmy O.

Amblin Partners and Universal will share international distribution rights.Jay also just launched a new app designed to give the power of reviews back to the people. It's call Vouch Vault."When my film, Super Troopers, showed at Sundance, it played to big laughing crowds. But when it was released to the public, the reviews were only so-so. On Rotten Tomatoes, Super Troopers, got a 38%-fresh aggregate score from less than a hundred reviewers. With the public, though, the film garnered a 90% fresh rating from more than 250,000 non-reviewers. This 38% reviewer-number stuck in my craw. I remember thinking, “Who are these reviewers, these strangers with outsized power, and why are we listening to them? Seriously. When's the last time you walked up to a stranger and said, “Hey, what movie should I see?”Our goal with Vouch Vault is to take recommendation power from anonymous strangers and give it to the people whose tastes you know and trust."

In this week's episode, we really lean into the "problematic" of it all. I mean, we are leaning on it so much we are about to topple over. That said, we welcome screenwriter/producer Ken Cheng (Easter Sunday, Wilfred) and Yo, is this Racist? podcast co-host and writer Andrew Ti (mixed-ish, the upcomingThat '90s Show) as we have a spirited discussion about Manhattan. Yes, that Manhattan directed by Woody Allen. The format is a little different this time around. Ken is well aware of how fucked up the movie is and talks about why he chose it -- but I think he chose it because Andrew hates the movie from the depths of his soul. Needless to say, there is a lot to discuss when it comes to this piece of work. Listen at your own risk. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/problematicfavepod/support

Together they performed comedy across the nation until they set their sights on producing television and feature films.Under his Broken Lizard banner, Jay directed and co-wrote Fox Searchlight Picture's comedy cult classics Super Troopers, Super Troopers 2, Club Dread, and Warner Bros' Beerfest. He also directed the Broken Lizard comedy special, Broken Lizard Stands Up.Super Troopers hit theaters in February 2002 and went on to gross $23 million with glowing audience reviews (and $80 million on home video.)Jay continued on to direct The Dukes of Hazard, direct and star in Millennium Entertainment's The Babymakers, and appear in DreamWorks' comedy hit, I Love You, Man. Recently, Chandrasekhar published his book, Mustache Shenanigans: Making Super Troopers and Other Adventures in Comedy that gives a behind the scenes look at the making of Super Troopers.In addition to his feature film work, Chandrasekhar has directed various TV shows, including several episodes of the Emmy Award winning series Arrested Development, Community, Chuck, The Grinder, Up All Night, Happy Endings, New Girl, and Psych. More recently, Jay has also directed episodes of Fresh Off the Boat, The Goldbergs, Speechless, and Schooled.His new film is Easter Sunday.Stand-up comedy sensation Jo Koy (Jo Koy: In His Elements, Jo Koy: Comin' in Hot) stars as a man returning home for an Easter celebration with his riotous, bickering, eating, drinking, laughing, loving family, in this love letter to his Filipino-American community. Easter Sunday features an all-star comedic cast that includes Jimmy O. Yang (Silicon Valley series), Tia Carrere (True Lies, Wayne's World films), Brandon Wardell (Curb Your Enthusiasm series), Tony nominee Eva Noblezada (Broadway's Hadestown), Lydia Gaston (Broadway's The King and I), Asif Ali (WandaVision), Rodney To (Parks and Recreation series), Eugene Cordero (The Good Place series), Jay Chandrasekhar (I Love You, Man), Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip) and Lou Diamond Phillips (Courage Under Fire).  Easter Sunday, from DreamWorks Pictures, is directed by Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers, The Dukes of Hazzard), from a script by Ken Cheng (series Wilfred, Betas). The film is produced by Rideback's Dan Lin (The Lego Movie franchise, It franchise) and Jonathan Eirich (Aladdin, The Two Popes), and is executive produced by Jo Koy, Jessica Gao, Jimmy O. Yang, Ken Cheng, Joe Meloche, Nick Reynolds and Seth William Meier. The film will be distributed by Universal Pictures domestically. Amblin Partners and Universal will share international distribution rights.Jay also just launched a new app designed to give the power of reviews back to the people. It's call Vouch Vault."When my film, Super Troopers, showed at Sundance, it played to big laughing crowds. But when it was released to the public, the reviews were only so-so. On Rotten Tomatoes, Super Troopers, got a 38%-fresh aggregate score from less than a hundred reviewers. With the public, though, the film garnered a 90% fresh rating from more than 250,000 non-reviewers. This 38% reviewer-number stuck in my craw. I remember thinking, “Who are these reviewers, these strangers with outsized power, and why are we listening to them? Seriously. When's the last time you walked up to a stranger and said, “Hey, what movie should I see?”Our goal with Vouch Vault is to take recommendation power from anonymous strangers and give it to the people whose tastes you know and trust."Enjoy my conversation with Jay Chandrasekhar.

"I think there's this belief that creativity requires our ability to think outward and extrapolate beyond our own experiences and think of the world in imaginative new ways - which is true in a lot of cases - but I also believe in creativity as the ability to access inward and look introspectively at our own personal experiences and mine those experiences in ways that aren't necessarily one to one copies of our lives, but that we can extrapolate themes and lessons, comedy, drama, humor...into new works.”Ken Cheng is a writer/producer who has previously written for Wilfred, Betas, and Sin City Saints.

"There are still plenty of obstacles towards getting stories featuring people of color specifically made in Hollywood, even though there are all those various new outlets and paths for that material to find audiences. Easter Sunday is an anomaly because it is a major studio-produced feature that centers on a Filipino-American family.There is still what I call Asian America 101 that has to happen, which is like this very basic education that we have to impart upon the gatekeepers and decision-makers in Hollywood.When you look at it in that respect, it is a bit of additional labor that we as creatives of color have to undertake, fairly or unfairly - probably unfairly if I'm being frank - but it is required. And is there a day where we don't have to do that additional emotional labor and creative labor to validate our own experiences and validate our own stories for the sake of financing? I hope so.

“Remembering the stories of our parents and our grandparents, our aunts and uncles, and the struggles that they have gone through. Struggles and the joy - I don't always want to frame the stories of our forbearers in the context of struggle, although a lot of Asian-Americans have had to deal with that. There's a lot of joy to be found in those stories as well. And I hope that those are stories that are passed on and remembered because, as is the case in our movie, it's about the moments that we are able to share with our family, in which we experience happiness and laughter and joy, that are most important, at least to me.And so I hope that's something that we can reflect in our storytelling moving forward as well. You know, I think we've seen a lot of stories framed around the noble struggle, which is what I call it. And I hope we can start diversifying our storytelling a little bit so that we can share a little bit more of the happy pleasures and joys that we experience as families and immigrants as well.”Ken Cheng is a writer/producer who has previously written for Wilfred, Betas, and Sin City Saints.

Howdy Bitch Talkers!  We've got a fun conversation just in time for the release of the movie Easter Sunday starring comedian Jo Koy! Bay Area raised screenwriter Ken Cheng joined us on the podcast to talk about how Easter Sunday came together. It was one of those stories that could only happen in Hollywood but that was pushed by the need to have AAPI, particularly Filipino representation on the big screen.  Ken talks about why Daly City had to be the backdrop of this story, his Steven Spielberg moment, what the must have's were to make this movie, and what's up with Santo Nino's anyway? As an added bonus, we've got Producer Char chiming in on the conversation talking about her experience at the Sacramento screening of Easter Sunday with us. Thanks to Ken for hopping on a Zoom with us and for answering our Instagram message!
