In episode forty-eight of movies imo., Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about the super fun, swoon-filled box office sensation CRAZY RICH ASIANS. After getting down to the Michelle Yeoh of it all, they depart from the delightful romantic comedy in Singapore to explore a couple East Asian experiences around family in early aughts Taiwan with YI YI and post-WWII Japan with TOKYO STORY. Ben declares the greatest film ever made period, Daniel finds Yeoh’s characterization to reveal complicated layers beyond formulaic villainy, and Brandon feels the love across the room between Constance Wu and Henry Golding in a flooded church.
