“I enjoy this podcast generally and love the rapport between Brett and Jesse. Thinking of their reviews, especially Brett’s comments in their review of Everything Everywhere All At Once (EEAO) and Master, I realize the hosts absolutely cannot speak on people of color’s experiences in film. It might help to bring on actual POC to discuss films that the hosts are not adequately equipped for and/or cannot understand.
In the EEAO review, Brett’s comment about how “all these recent movies about mother-daughter relationships say the same thing” (paraphrasing here) was really disappointing to hear. It’s clear to me that Brett absolutely cannot speak on the experiences of women, let alone POC and their mothers. Brett, please give us your exhaustive list of other Asian American-directed films about immigrant mothers’ relationships with their queer American daughters, if that’s so overdone. I’d love to see that tbh.
Listening to your Beau is Afraid review and how Beau’s relationship with his mother resonated with you so much, I realize Brett really needs to expand his empathy past an incredibly limited worldview. That being said I agree with everything *else* Brett and Jesse said about EEAO.”
