The theme of this episode is going to be hashtag Nick sucks Yeah he's just a fucking rich hot dummy who is inside of the bubble which is 30 Rock's funny way of talking about halo effect.

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.
