Episode #399: 'The Wedding Banquet' with Parvesh Cheena

We’ve got the fabulous Parvesh Cheena (instagram.com/parvey) here, once again on the gaysian movie beat! This time around, it’s Andrew Ahn’s THE WEDDING BANQUET, which reimagines and modernizes the core story of a nearly unseeable 1993 Ang Lee film (maybe try your local library?). It’s a complicated relationship comedy between two queer couples, and two of their matriarchs. Plus, we choose which classic films we’d like to see get a queer remake (besides all of them).
