Here's a Trailer for the Movie Featured in Margaret Cho and Tilda Swinton's Feud
Entertainment
Late last year, as winter and the imminence of Donald Trump being sworn into office set in, Margaret Cho and Tilda Swinton found themselves in something of a feud. Maybe you remember reading about it here. (And, especially, here.) On Bobby Lee’s TigerBelly podcast, Cho recounted an exchange she had with Swinton about the Dr. Strange whitewashing controversy, saying Swinton made her feel like a “house Asian” for summoning her for such matters. “Basically, it ended with her saying, ‘Well, I’m producing a movie with Steven Yeun starring,’” said Cho.
Swinton then provided the referenced email exchange to several outlets, including Jezebel, in which it was revealed that in her penultimate email to Swinton, Cho suggested “getting into producing content that would give Asian American voices a platform.”
