When we feel angry or excited, or happy or sad, the reasons for those emotions may seem obvious. Angry? It was that argument with a spouse. Excited? It was that promotion at work. Happy? Must've been that delicious meal. Sad? It was that tearjerker film, for sure. But it turns out that we often mistake the root causes of our feelings and other experiences.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at a family of biases that affects the way we understand behaviors, events, and emotions.Samantha Futerman and Anaïs Bordier grew up in different parts of the world. They were raised speaking different languages. They lived in very different home environments. They experienced different types of schooling. You'd probably assume these two women with very different upbringings turned out quite differently.  After all, where and how you're raised has a big impact on the person you become. Surprisingly though, Samantha and Anaïs share some uncanny similarities.Samantha Futerman is an American actress, writer, and director. She is known for her supporting role in the drama film Memoirs of a Geisha, as well as her self-made documentary film Twinsters.Anaïs Bordier is a French designer and brand manager based in Paris. She was also a producer for the film Twinsters.Next, Katy speaks with Kareem Haggag about how our preferences change, more than we might expect, depending on the physical state we're in. You'll hear about how early morning classes may affect the choice of a college major and how your perceptions of a restaurant may be substantially influenced by your hunger level.Kareem Haggag is an assistant professor at the UCLA Anderson School of Management and a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. You can read his research on attribution bias and other topics on his website. Finally, Katy offers tips on how to "debias" yourself and avoid the traps of misattribution, based on Kareem Haggag's findings.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

Understanding our unique identities is no small feat. We're made up of so many intersecting things that also evolve over time. Some parts we embrace wholeheartedly, others confuse us, and some can just be difficult to accept. In this episode, Minji sits down with her friend, Sam Futerman, to discuss her incredible journey as a transracial adoptee from Korea who also discovered an identical twin sister as an adult.  From growing up with a white family and having to navigate uncomfortable questions, looks, and assumptions to documenting the biggest surprise of her life - reuniting with her sister, Anais - Sam has walked quite a path. Together they discuss the short and longterm impact of culture, ignorance, racism, and love in how we grow up and see ourselves. They also get into the concept of family and what that means to those who are bound by blood and the beauty of choosing your own family.This week's guest:Samantha Futerman (@samfuterman)Follow Minji on:Twitter (@minjeeeezy)Instagram (@minjeezy)Clubhouse (@MinjiChang)Music featured in this episode include "Uzuhan" by Uzuhan and "Time of Your Life" by DanAKADan featuring Alex HwangFollow the show on Instagram and Twitter and support our PatreonThis podcast is part of Potluck: An Asian American Podcast CollectiveProduced by @marvinyueh

The second episode of Saturday School (Season 5) on Asian Americans in Asia is about the 2000 documentary "First Person Plural" by Deann Borshay Liem. It's a personal documentary about a Korean American adoptee who comes to realize she's not the person her American family thinks she is. And as she uncovers the mystery behind her identities, she brings her adoptive parents to Korea to meet her birth family for the first time. Deann Borshay Liem was adopted in 1966, so her story is a predecessor to some of the Korean American adoptee documentaries we've seen more recently from younger generations, including "AKA Dan" and "Twinsters." Also, 10 years after "First Person Plural," Deann Borshay Liem made a sequel 2010's "In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee," and now that it's 8 years after that, someone tell her we need a 2020 update to round out the trilogy!

“You never know.” A lesson Samantha learned early on from her family and work. Adopted from South Korea and raised in New Jersey, she never knew what might be the connecting thread between her twin sister and herself. I asked, “What was it like being raised in New Jersey? What was your relationship with your adoptive family?” She said, “No one ever really looked like me or looked like they could be my family...” “...Little did I know my identical twin sister would show up one day.” A youtube video that Samantha starred in ended up being the connecting piece of the puzzle between the two sisters, as well as an instigator of their reunion. They connected online after her sister saw Samantha's Youtube video, which quickly led to them meeting in person. I asked, “What was it like meeting your sister for the first time?” She said, “You finally see each other in the same room and you really have to learn how to be together… I've never felt more in the moment my whole life.” Samantha tells us how meeting her sister online, as life-changing as it was, was entirely different from meeting her in person. A meeting, which created multiple new opportunities in Samantha's life. First, it was the documentary, Twinsters, in which the two documented their reunion with the purpose of sharing their perspective on adoption and reunions. Then, it was the start of her non-profit, Kindred Adoption. I asked, “Do you have any advice for aspiring film producers and actors?” She said, “You have to represent what you believe in.” Focus your efforts on contributing to meaningful societal conversations. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: - On the entertainment industry: You never know what an opportunity will lead to - On chasing dreams: “If you love it, you will keep trying” - On passion: Be able to say, “I wouldn't be as happy doing anything else in the world.” - On failing: Allow yourself to fail! We all do it. On acting: “It's important to represent what you believe in, to take roles that are meaningful.” - On mentorship:“A great mentor doesn't have all the answers, but can help you find your own.”

In April 1992, China implemented a law that, for the first time, allowed families from other countries to adopt Chinese children. Since then, around 120,000 Chinese have been adopted abroad, with 80,000 finding a home in the United States. But when adoptions started in that first year, only 206 came to America. Rae Winborn is one of that first wave of adoptees, brought over at just nine months old to the U.S. to grow up with a white, middle-class American family in Durango, Colorado. Charlotte Cotter was adopted a few years later at the age of five months in 1995, and grew up with two moms in Newton, Massachusetts. She is now the president of China’s Children International, a support and networking organization run by and for Chinese adoptees around the world, which she co-founded in 2011. Kaiser and Jeremy had a conversation with Rae and Charlotte about their experiences growing up in America, why they both chose to learn Chinese and spend time working in China — which Rae described as the “Chinese-American experience on steroids” — and what it was like when Charlotte made contact with her birth family. Recommendations: Jeremy: Little Soldiers: An American Boy, a Chinese School, and the Global Race to Achieve, an excellent book on education by Lenora Chu. Also, The China Questions: Critical Insights Into a Rising Power, by Jennifer Rudolph and Michael Szonyi. Rae: italki, a private tutoring service for language learning where you can get Skype lessons to improve your Chinese. Charlotte: Somewhere Between, a documentary of Chinese adoptees in America by Linda Goldstein Knowlton, and Twinsters, a movie about two Korean twins separated at birth and raised separately in America and France. Kaiser: The Book of Swindles: Selections from a Late Ming Collection, a book written by Yingyu Zhang and translated by Christopher G. Rea and Bruce Rusk, which describes the incredibly clever ways in which people cheated one another in 17th-century China.

The VVitch! Hail, Caesar! The guy from the Wickes advert! Morning Glory! Twinsters! Adam and Luke discuss everything they've recently seen at the cinema or at home on Netflix (or NOW TV, much to the disappointment of Luke). We would love to talk about your reviews for films so add either Luke, Adam, or Quizmaster Frank on Letterboxd and tag your review 'filmageddon' and we'll dissect them. The next live quiz will be held at The Prince Charles Cinema on April 20th at 8:45pm. Tickets are available at their box office or right right, right now! Make sure you buy early as it will sell out. IN THE MEAN TIME, check out the Filmageddon Youtube as we've got a new show called #Shot4Shot where the Filmageddon crew watch terrible films, all the while drinking a shot every 15 minutes. Sounds fun? Hopefully! We'll be doing some more so subscribe if you wouldn't mind. We'd be mighty mighty appreciative. The next episode of the Filmageddon podcast will be hosted by Frank LIVE (recorded) FROM CALIFORNIA with an LA-inspired quiz with two completely different quizzlings.
