This is the fourth in a series on daily life as we recall it during
a brighter time in America’s history…or was it? In this episode, we
talk about movies from The '80s. And shockingly, here in 2024, it’s
a bit disturbing to look back and see the anti-Asian racism that
was up on screen back then, and even more, that we – in Hawaii,
populated mainly by Asian-Americans – didn’t even notice it at the
time. We discuss this, along with the analog movie-going
experience, which included newspaper ink staining your fingertips,
because you had to flip the pages to the movie section.
