Podcast appearances and mentions of rachel chu

Welcome back to another episode of the Video Store Podcast! Valentine's Day may have come and gone, but we're still feeling the love at the Video Store. I've selected four films this week that love love so much that even the romance denier in your life will melt like so many boxes of chocolate in the noonday sun. Miss Congeniality (2000)Put on your dress and strap on your gun, it's time for Miss Congeniality. Sandra Bullock stars as FBI Agent Gracie Hart, who must go undercover at the Miss United States Beauty Pageant to protect the participants from an anonymous bomb threat. While Gracie is put through her primping paces, she starts to learn that beauty isn't skin-deep with the pageant participants, but it might be with its runner. She and Agent Matthews must work together to find the bomber before it's too late. This one will keep you laughing every day of the year, especially on April 25. Love & Basketball (2000)Hit the court for our next film, Gina Prince-Blythewood's first major film, Love & Basketball from 2000. I don't say this lightly. Love & Basketball is a perfect movie. Period. A phenomenal story, direction, great character development, performances, and a bangin' soundtrack to boot, all make Love & Basketball a wonderful movie to enjoy with even the deepest romantic skeptic in your life. Swish, swish, bish. Crazy Rich Asians (2018)Take a trip to Singapore with Rachel and Nick this week with 2018's Crazy Rich Asians, based on the book of the same name. Rachel Chu finds out her sweet and unpretentious boyfriend, Nick Young, is actually the son and heir to one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Singapore when he takes her back home for his best friend's wedding. Learning to navigate high society is difficult enough, let alone in a new country with Nick's overbearing family. Watching Rachel and Nick learn to navigate difficult family dynamics and fight for each other will warm even the coldest heart. This is a rom-com that everyone will enjoy. Hitch (2005)Our last film for the week is Hitch from 2005, starring Will Smith, Eva Mendes, Kevin James, and Amber Valletta. This is a film about learning to let down your walls just long enough for the right person to get through, even if you might get hurt. Filled with great one-liners, loads of laughs, and a soundtrack that will keep you dancing, Hitch is a solid choice for movie night.

In this episode, we start with an old passion of mine: football. Unfortunately, this sport keeps failing in addressing racism in an effective way and the UEFA match between Paris Saint Germain vs Istanbul Basaksehir reminded us that. I may have also found a new passion: Korean drama! I'm currently watching Itaewon, a series that it's a bit different from the classic romantic K drama as there's a major focus on diversity and inclusion. Recently, I also finished reading Crazy Rich Asians. Yes I know, I should've read it before watching the movie, but still meaningful lol Similar to Rachel Chu, one of the main characters, I had challenges about my identity and fitting in within my community of origin and I share some of them with you today. Enjoy!!!

Hello Filmy People! This week we have 2 reviews for your ear holes! First up we review Crazy Rich Asians, this film started life as a hugely successful series of books written by Kevin Kwan, and has made the transition to film. Directed by Jon M. Chu, Crazy Rich Asians is the first western produced film in 25 years to contain a predominantly Asian heritage cast. The film follows the story of Rachel Chu, a Chinese- American economics professor, meeting her boyfriend Nicks’ family at a wedding in Singapore. Although they have been dating for a year Nick has omitted certain details of his family and heritage, namely that he is an heir to one of China’s richest families and that they are “Crazy Rich”. Rachel discovers this on route to Singapore as well as all the cultural and political aspects of acceptance from this very traditional, crazy, but hard to please family.   We also review "A SIMPLE FAVOR", directed by Paul Feig, centers around Stephanie (Anna Kendrick), a mommy vlogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend Emily's (Blake Lively) sudden disappearance from their small town.

Constance Wu stars as Rachel Chu, who essentially serves as our best surrogate for the story, the daughter of a single Chinese immigrant mother, who rose above her station to become a professor of Economics at NYU.  Her current boyfriend is a man names Nick Young (played by Henry Golding), who, for over a year since they've been dating, has never divulged to her that his family back home in Singapore is insanely wealthy.  The cat has to be let out of the bag, however, when Nick asks Rachel to attend the wedding of his best friend in Singapore, where he also plans to pop a question of his own after she meets the family.  However, Nick's stern mother, Eleanor, disapproves of trying to pursue what one wants in life independent of the family wishes, so Rachel's pursuit of her own career, and Nick pursuit of love beyond his class, ruffles more than a few feathers among his family, friends, and the rest of the rich and famous they socialize among.  John M. Chu directs, with supporting roles for Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, and Ken Jeong
