On this week's episode, Sylvie and Chris are delving back into preschool entertainment with the first cross-cultural exposure of many young Canadians to any form of Chinese culture with Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat. While seeing whether or not this Amy Tan adaptation holds up (spoiler alert: we're not sure, but potentially maybe?), we dig into the efforts to portray its cultural context, the can of worms that is the voice cast, the animation and design, and empirically analyze how adorable the cats truly are. Plus, 9/11 memories and talking shit about far-right youtubers for some reason!
Episode covered for the podcast was Episode 7 "Fur Cut / Magistrate Loses His Post." Original airdate September 11, 2001.
