1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Jeff and Phil welcome writer/director Amy Wang and actress Shirley Chen to talk about their new film Slanted, a horror/comedy described as &quot;Mean Girls meets The Substance.&quot; They discuss blending body horror and black comedy to tell an Asian American story about race, shame, and belonging; why the American high school prom is a useful and universal -- they love this movie in Germany! -- cinematic narrative device to interrogate some big ideas; how to find the &quot;whitest&quot; stock footage for your fake karaoke video; and why McKenna Grace speaks Chinese so well in the movie. Also: The Good, The Bad, and The WTF of making Slanted. This episode is sponsored by&amp;nbsp;Chinese Republicans, a new play from Roundabout Theatre Company.
