’80s Life: Movies, Movie-Going, and Internalized Racism (Fatal Attraction & Sixteen Candles)
Listen now
Description
This is the fourth in a series on daily life as we recall it during a brighter time in America’s history…or was it? In this episode, we talk about movies from The '80s. And shockingly, here in 2024, it’s a bit disturbing to look back and see the anti-Asian racism that was up on screen back then, and even more, that we – in Hawaii, populated mainly by Asian-Americans – didn’t even notice it at the time. We discuss this, along with the analog movie-going experience, which included newspaper ink staining your fingertips, because you had to flip the pages to the movie section. https://sienaandtoast.com/podcast/80slife4 https://instagram.com/sienaandtoast Learn more about your ad choices.
