Episode notes

"Culture shock is introduced the second they get to the airport," says director Ben Affleck. "She reacts to them like a, you know, average New Yorker or city dwelling person to be ... why is this person touching my stuff? Get the voice from me... I am not giving you any money, please step away."

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.
