Ep 140 DiDi The Best Asian American Coming of Age Movie?

Infatu Asian Podcast

Go see DiDi! It will make you laugh, cry, and squirm in your seat a little as you get transported back to your own summer before going to high school. It captures the angst, insecurity, and awkwardness of being a 13-year-old Taiwanese American kid in Fremont California. Katie, Zoe, and I couldn't wait to get together to talk about this film. DiDi should be available at a theatre near you, but don't wait too long, you never know how long these films will stay in theaters. Go see it with your older sister, your first high school crush, or even your Asian mom (if you don't have one, go borrow one for the day)!

Thanks to my guest co-hosts Katie (@katieyowyow) and Zoe (@juniperseabooks) for always being wiling to come and chat with me!

We played a clip of Paramore's "That's What You Get" off of their album Riot
