We're Watching What?!

Two themes for this week: AAPI Heritage Month and MerMonth? Find out if the new "live action" The Little Mermaid makes a splash. American Born Chinese is one of the best adaptations we've seen in a long time. Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai pays homage to the original, while still finding it's own voice. Drops of God takes wine oh so seriously, but yes, this is wine. Finally MerPeople dives deep with the aquatic performing community.

A merry mash up of sisterly affection, parental disappointment and bold action, POLITE SOCIETY follows martial artist-in-training Ria Khan who believes she must save her older sister Lena from her impending marriage. After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off the most ambitious of all wedding heists in the name of independence and sisterhood.
