I love this time of year! For one, I love the constant threat of snowfall bringing our entire infrastructure down to a grinding halt—for real! I love how it yields a slower paced life. I love hunkering down on the couch, underneath blankets, and binge-watching a bunch of content that guarantees happy endings (not that kind, pervs). Sometimes, we just need that dopamine hit. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
Nicki debuts at #1, Tyga listens to feedback, Kumail goes serious
I am excited for Nanjiani’s continuing turn into more dramatic roles. I am excited for another true crime miniseries (because I am totally that person). And I am excited for all of the 80s period costumes—and the hair! All of the luxurious hair!
A-pop! ‘Squid Game’ is coming back! ‘Iron Chef’ should stay retired.
Happy Pride Month! In this column, I spontaneously made the decision to stop giving Netflix my money because I suddenly realized how much they are taking from me each month.
A-pop! Hold BTS in your hand this winter! (What happens when you don’t feed them though?)
I know what you’re thinking:
“CAN BTS MEMBERS DIE IN THE NEW TAMAGOTCHIS?”
I don’t know. But I will find out for us. I’ll let you know in October, later this year.
White guy doesn’t find his hot Asian wife attractive, WHAT? — A-pop! Cherry-picked AAPI pop culture news!
In this latest column, we learn that Asians are sometimes the victims of themselves (or other Asians)—I mean, obviously in addition to being the victims of white supremacy.
The top 10 API celebrities who kicked butt in 2021
2021 was a bit of a weird year. There was a pandemic raging on, which saw a lot of us trapped in our homes, spending hours on TikTok, and watching every streaming platform. At least, that’s what I did. All that effort was worth it. Because it enabled me to write this for you, with amazing broadness.
The 2021 Met Gala: The Asian women who wore it best and the ones who totally did not
By Stacy Nguyen Northwest Asian Weekly Man, I don’t have much snark for you in this column, and I am disappointed in myself too. Here’s a bunch of earnestness, sigh! OMG, there are so many Asians at the Met Gala now! Mom, we’ve made it! This year’s Met Gala theme was “In America: A Lexicon […]
I WAS WRONG ABOUT CHRISSY TEIGEN, OKAY?!—A-pop: Pop culture ‘news’ about Asian-y stuff
Man, it’s been a rough time—for me because it was so hot and then it was so not, and I feel so robbed of an entire season—and also a little bit for Chrissy Teigen because people are mad at her—but most of all, it’s been the roughest for her many, many victims.
Before we get to the core of what I’m talking about, you have to run through a gauntlet of other celeb gossip. You’re welcome!
Silk Sonic being heartthrobs and Sandra Oh repeatedly crushing the dreams of suburban moms!
It’s almost the summer of the Covid vaccine, and I’m real excited for it. It’s gonna be the summer of real sexy bangers because we can go outside now! It’s gonna be the summer where Sandra Oh just murders it while making us laugh.
A-pop! White people are ruining ‘bamboo ceiling’ for us!
I know we’ve all had a really terrible week, and it feels a bit discordant to read frivolous pop culture news. But I hope this column gives you a break from the heaviness.
