Episode 15
Aleysa "Best Quality Crab" Young, director of Baroness von Sketch Show, Workin' Moms, Cavendish, and the upcoming New Eden joins me to talk about the tearjerker that is The Joy Luck Club. 1993's Chinese-American answer to Steel Magnolias is heartbreaking in the best way. There are poisoned sticky dumplings, family secrets, concubines, curses, Lubriderm, moles, thousand-yard-stares, and even Ross's girlfriend Julie from Friends!
