Ben: I adore the way that they showed her reactions to it of like being supremely uncomfortable with being pampered the entire time and also going what the fuck does your family do. He says she doesn't have a fleshed out enough conversation about really what he's genuinely doing to her by putting her in this position because we're still just kind of talking about in the context of just money classism but even like my mom's really hard you know she has these really specific values that you're gonna bump against.
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.
