Love is in the air... or is it? The DIU Podcast gang talk come together before Valentine's Day to talk about an array of love-related issues.
Before the show, we acknowledge Parasite and give a shout-out to the Korean movie which won four Oscars. We also learn that, Jack (a proud supporter of Asians, apparently), did not yet watch the movie. We also talk about racial backlash against the movie which has gained significant global coverage.
We read a fan email asking the Love Guru for some advice for Valentine's Day. We also talk about why Valentine's Day is perhaps the biggest issue to ever face man-kind. However, Gavin and Jack seem to have slightly different reasons as to why that is...
In the Cantonese Corner, the Cantonese Ambassador teaches us some common vocabulary which may be useful for Valentine's Day. Follow along with the lesson here.
Loose Ends
Read about the Tweet we mentioned about Parasite (via Market Watch)
You can also tell that none of us watched the Oscars because we didn't even mentioned Bong Joon Ho's translator, Sharon Choi, who is apparently internet famous now (via Indie Wire) - my bad.
