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 talk about certain Asian American narrative tropes that either need to evolve or just be retired. They review Boogie (spoilers from 17:50 to 38:05) which employs a number of these tropes, including 2nd generation culture clashing, Asian masculinity insecurities, and interracial relationship dialogues. In their weekly rundown, they also discuss Harvard mental health services' handling of anti-Asian violence, Manny Pacquiao telling anti-Asian racists to fight him instead, and the weird inclusion of the droogs from A Clockwork Orange in Space Jam 2.
