It’s a mind-bending movie about a Chinese-American immigrant family with a laundromat that’s facing a tax audit.

Today we’ll be talking about why this movie has so much significance, especially for people in the Asian community, with three guests. Frankie Huang is a freelance writer and illustrator.
