In Episode 19 Stephanie and Michael Yap joins us to revisit Andrew Lau's Infernal Affairs. We kick it off by establishing some sides: Team Tony Leung vs Team Andy Lau? (8:28) After reflection of our rewatch, I describe how Infernal Affairs represents the wonderful memory of discovering incredible content from one world (Asia) and sharing it with another (America). (16:50) At (21:23), we start exploring the big theme of the podcast: agency over identity. By (43:38), Steph and Michael have gotten real deep into the therapist chair as they explore their radically different approaches to integrating family tradition and expectations into our identity, and at (50:12) I share how my mindset is somewhere in the middle: not having ties to physical space, but still highly prioritzing my family's desires .
