When director Jessica Yu came aboard Quiz Lady, Sandra Oh and Awkwafina were already committed to playing their characters, Jenny and Anne, respectively. Jenny is the oldest self-absorbed sister who didn’t exactly have her life together, while Anne was the stable, introverted younger sister who routinely watched her favorite quiz show with her dog Mr. Linguini every night. While one may expect Oh to portray the conservative, quiet one against Awkwafina’s louder-than-life previous roles, the typecasting of the actors have been reversed.

Justin Simien’s Haunted Mansion is hitting theaters this weekend. This is the second attempted to adapt Disney’s beloved attraction The Haunted Mansion into a stellar blockbuster film. The first was the 2003 adaptation that starred Eddie Murphy, which, if I’m being honest, wasn’t great. And thankfully Simien does a little better with the material, but overall, I’m still waiting for a definitive adaptation to materialize.

It’s hard to find many Apatow-level comedies outside of Bridesmaids and Girls Trip even led by female ensembles or directed by female filmmakers, let alone a predominantly Asian one. But we now finally have one in Joy Ride.
