Hey film buds,

every month here on the show is an opportunity for us. We can reexamine old favorites, find hidden gems, and learn from perspectives outside of our own, all in the world of film. This month, we decided to expand our horizons and learns more about American cinematic history by joining the nation in celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month.
