Ep. 2 - Cultural Appropriation, Protectionist Racket

The Unverifieds, in discussing their love of the movie Lost In Translation, speculate whether such a movie would survive allegations of cultural appropriation in this day and age. They also look at Asian American movies with similar themes, such as Shanghai Kiss and Always Tomorrow In Hong Kong, and whether Asian Americans—or any minorities—have a right to claim a monopoly on cultures, especially when they can screw it up even worse than outsiders can.
