Unverified Accounts, the place for unchecked Asian American opinions on arts and culture, with a smattering of politics! Every week, the trio of Eliza, Chris, and Filip will discuss movies (or sometimes, a book) that are connected to a pertinent cultural/political issue going on right now, usually from online cultures.

The Unverifieds try to cut through the hysterical hoopla surrounding the new movie adaptation of Hillbilly Elegy and assess it on purely cinematic grounds, but they can't help but notice the vast cultural divide between the mostly harsh critics and the subjects of the film. They also look at Three Billboards, around which there was a similar controversy a few years ago. Other discussions include whether Obama was a pick-up artist, the predictable backlash against Hasan Minhaj after his Vanity Fair lie detector interview went viral, and the attempt to cancel Sia for not cast an autistic actress in her new movie.
