Season 3, Ep. 2: Wave Twisters
We have a very unique musical for Episode 2 of our 3rd season about Asian American Music Movies. It's a 2001 turntablism musical, based on an album by legendary turntablist DJ QBert. Brian reminisces about growing up in the '90s in Cerritos, where there was a prominent Filipino American DJ scene, while Ada admits she was not cool enough to know anything about the Bay Area hip hop scene, despite growing up there. (She listened to a lot of Britney Spears in the '90s.) Brian compares Wave Twisters to English virtual hip hop group the Gorillaz, while Ada compares Wave Twisters to the Julie Andrews show Julie's Greenroom, with the Jim Henson puppets. Because obviously.
