Vanessa Zoltan and special guest Professor Matt Potts meet at a mansion in Singapore to record this week’s episode of Hot and Bothered, all about Crazy Rich Asians.This week we discuss the tension at the heart of Asian American identities, how family pressures preserve class divides, and the allure of opulence.
