Episode notes

Culture shock is when we have different values and cultural norms within different nuances. I think with nik kind of going back to the beginning of this movie he does such a poor job in that he doesn't do a job of explaining anything to her. There's so many people in this movie what she really tries to demonstrate to tries to teach rachel is that like they're not necessarily Chinese either.

In this episode, we are jumping into our private jet to discuss the modern day rom com classic, Crazy Rich Asians. We explore the varied ways that culture shock can present via classism, immigration status, assimilation, etc. We also, unfortunately, tear apart the ways that Nick does not show up as a partner for Rachel when it comes to managing the complicated social layers and norms of shifting from one culture to another.
