Shownotes
For our first Good Pop of the new year, we check out the new Asian American action dramedy The Brothers Sun, starring MIchelle Yeoh as the matriarch of a Taiwanese triad living in hiding in the SGV with her younger son who has no idea he's in a crime family. Their lives are thrown into chaos when her eldest son arrives in town to protect the family from rival gangs. It feels like we've been waiting forever for an Asian American show set in the SGV, but does The Brothers Sun make it as good pop?

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting.
