Emi joins the podcast for a special in-flight edition of Film You In…, recorded right after our trip from Chicago to Cabo San Lucas. Somewhere over the Midwest, she declared Crazy Rich Asians “the perfect airplane movie” and honestly, she might be onto something.

In this episode, we unpack exactly why this film hits different at 35,000 feet: the comfort-watch energy, the humor that lands every time, and the kind of dazzling escapism that makes a long flight feel shorter. We dive into a few standout scenes; from the iconic mahjong moment to the legendary wedding aisle reveal and talk about why the movie still resonates years after its release.

Whether you’re a rom-com fan, a frequent flyer looking for your next go-to, or someone who just loves a good story about family, identity, and insane wealth, this episode has laughs, insights, and plenty of “Emi-isms” along the way.
