Sometimes you just have to take a break from long Asian dramas to catch a short but memorable movie. This week, we do exactly that with the 1987 romantic comedy Moonstruck, which won Cher a best actress Oscar and also starred a young Nicolas Cage. It’s time to soak in the amore and charm all around! And if you haven’t watched this classic, why not do that right after listening to our thoughts on it?!

(00:31) Introduction & Overview
(05:03) What Makes This Movie Work - the characters, the chemistry, the opera, the New York setting...
(34:07) Ratings and wrap up

On Juniper’s recent bender to watch the collected works of Chinese actor Ao Ruipeng 敖瑞鹏, she finally checked out “Wrong Carriage, Right Groom” 花轿喜事, the 2023 Chinese rom com fluff remake of a 2001 oldie. While the story is almost nonexistent, something delightful about the central lovebird pairs makes this drama worth checking out, at least under certain circumstances. Juniper got Elle to sample the show, and Elle agrees. If you’re curious why bother with this show, here’s our take.

We checked out a random collection of Chinese dramas this week as a way to pass the time. Juniper talks about her final thoughts upon finishing revenge drama The Glory 雁回时. Elle accidentally watched some episodes of an older drama called Star of Ocean 星辰大海. And we both discuss our initial impressions of the “middle-aged xianxia” fantasy A Moment But Forever 念无双..
