Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of 2 Peas in a Podcast! This month is Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. So we will be celebrating Asian and Pacific Islander representation with movies that feature Asian and/or Pacific Islander actors, stories and directors. However, it is the second episode of the month, and as the second episode of the month, we present you another volume of “We watched it so you don’t have to!”
This month’s pick: “The Last Air Bender” released in 2010, directed by M. Night Shyamalan this movie has one of the worst cases of white washing. Based on the beloved cartoon animated series “Avatar: The Last Airbender” a series that is based on various Asian cultures and the main characters being visibly Asian or Native...the film adaptation...is mostly white. Join us as we watch (or at least try to) and discuss the importance of representation.
