This week on the podcast we are so grateful to chat with ANDREW AHN! Andrew Ahn is an incredible director (who’s work you absolutely need to stop everything to go watch right now if you haven’t) having been the directing force behind the feature film Fire Island and episodes of Bridgerton, Deli Boys, Generation, and so much more! His latest feature film THE WEDDING BANQUET debuted at Sundance in 2025 to pure excitement, and is in theaters nationwide NOW! We’ve got jujubes and chestnuts! We got a full Korean wedding! We have IVF! We have so so so much. There is truly something for everybody to relate to in this film, and we can’t even count the amount of times we’ve either screamed at the screen or we’ve cried while watching. But THE WEDDING BANQUET is definitely a love letter to the queer AAPI community. This film means so much to us, and we can’t wait for you to watch it! Welcome to the Tremendous Talk Podcast, Andrew Ahn!
Make sure to get your tickets to see THE WEDDING BANQUET - IN THEATERS NOW!!!
From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations. Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, Joan Chen, and Academy Award Winner Youn Yuh-Jung, THE WEDDING BANQUET is a poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.
