On this episode of Good Pop we discuss Dead Pigs, director Cathy Yan's debut film that premiered in 2018 at the Sundance Film Festival and has finally been released in the US on the arthouse streaming  platform Mubi. We share our thoughts on Yan's beautiful and sprawling dramatic comedy about  a group of loosely connected characters in Shanghai whose lives intersect around a housing development and a mystery around dead pigs found floating in the Huangpu River. Jess and Marvin also teaches Hanh about the power of Teresa Teng.
