Here at the Good Pop Culture Club, the holidays don't begin until we check out the year's Asian American Hallmark Xmas film (but only because its almost always relegated to the start of the season). This year's entry is Christmas with the Singhs, a story a recently engaged couple who returns to their suburban hometown for Xmas, only to deal with a variety of parental shenanigans that threaten to tear them apart. We kind of know what we're in for, but could this be the year a Hallmark Asian American film finally breaks through?

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
