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 (minus Liza, who was busy this weekend) discuss the gender issues that pop up when Asian American men are paired with white women on screen. First, they look at All My Life (starring Harry Shum Jr. and Jessica Rothe) before discussing The Big Sick. Then they turn their attention to the newfound issue of "fetishizing' Asian men and the resulting Asian American gender fights on Tik Tok.
