We've been recording episodes very far in advance due to quarantine giving us some extra time. Because of that, we recorded this episode on Collision Course months ago - before the horrific anti-Asian American hate crime shootings in Atlanta-area. We have plenty to say here about how this hate has been going on for a long time, and how shitty racist movies like Collision Course help perpetuate racist sentiments in the second half of the episode. We mostly just talk trash about Jay Leno in the first half.
Please donate what you can to the victims families - you can find a link to an article where they are listed individually with links to help out families that are sorely in need.
As well, there are plenty of charities doing great work to help out Asian Americans locally across the country. Links are in the article as well - maybe find one that fits your locality, or speaks to your heart.
Thanks for listening. We love you all.
