The Reel Study

⚽✨ This week on The Reel Study, we’re continuing our celebration of AAPI Heritage Month with an uplifting double feature: Bend It Like Beckham and Crazy Rich Asians. From a coming-of-age sports comedy about balancing family expectations and personal dreams to a glamorous romantic comedy exploring culture, identity, and love across generations, these films highlight the importance of representation and the global impact of AAPI stories in mainstream cinema.

Then check out Reel Roundup, where the panel shares their first-time watches. Whether it’s a brand-new release in theatres, a streaming debut, or an older film they’re finally catching up on. This week, JeannineDaBean shares his spoiler-free review of Obsession.

Plus, Collector’s Corner is back! Your go to spot for all things physical media, featuring the biggest upcoming releases for the next month, just in time to lock in your pre-orders. AllTheMovieThings gives us a peak sneak of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Limited Edition 4K (Released Date: May 26, 2026).
