Season 1, Ep. 4: Loins of Punjab

Episode 4 of Saturday School is about a special film called Loins of Punjab Presents, a mockumentary about a Bollywood Idol singing competition in New Jersey. Ada learns that Brian likes any film with the word "loins" in it. (You're welcome, aspiring filmmakers submitting to the San Diego Asian Film Festival, for the free advice.)

Brian throws his full support behind the gay bhangra singer who goes by Turbanotorious B.D.G., played by Ajay Naidu of Office Space fame. But really, this is an example of a film that we especially wanted to bring out of the vault. Especially because the late director was never able to make any more films, it's gems like these that can be easily forgotten about if we're not reminded to look back. ​

Saturday School is a podcast where we teach your unwilling children about Asian American pop culture history. First season will be about Asian American film comedies. 10 episodes will be released every Saturday at 8am, which is when we were forced to go to Chinese school as kids.
