For all you overachievers out there, Saturday School hosted an AP Honors discussion group with 5 people who have seen Crazy Rich Asians in theaters 5 TIMES *OR MORE.* The #CRA5timersclub. Like the SNL 5-timers club, but more Asian. Spoilers galore. And full disclosure, Ada's only seen it 3 times, so she's both hosting and crashing the party. Brian has only seen it once, so he was not invited. If you're obsessed with the movie as much as Phil Yu, David Magdael, Cheryl K, Minji Chang and Marvin Yueh are, we'd recommend first listening to Crazy Rich Asians episodes of our fellow Potluck Podcast Collective podcasts: They Call Us Bruce, KollabCast, First of All. And then come to Saturday School if you want to talk about stuff like: why Curtis was flown to Singapore, was that Teresa Teng's "Tian Mi Mi" playing in the background, and did the addition of that one line de-creepify Peik Lin's brother just a little bit or was it always there? Hang on tight, the super crazies have got the mike.

As we look forward past #AsianAugust, let's take a moment to take a look back. We invite David Magdael, film publicist and community advocate, to the KollabCast to chat about what #AsianAugust means to him and to reflect about the early days of the movement, when he worked on a little film called Better Luck Tomorrow. David shares his story of the night the legendary Roger Ebert stood up to defend Better Luck Tomorrow and Asian representation, and how David and his team helped make it into a viral moment.
