Episode 18: "Bleach Blonde Baddies": - Rush Hour (With Evelyn Mok)

The brilliant comedian Evelyn Mok joins Anna and Emily to discuss Rush Hour, a heartwarming tale of two friends being racist to each other. Is that Still Legit? We chat colonial white guy baddies, camel hump and inexplicably fancy cars, and Anna and Evelyn realise that bleaching their hair has set them on the path to being evil sidekicks. There has been a threefold increase in racism towards East Asian people since the coronavirus pandemic began.
