We check out the new Nic Cage movie, Prisoners of the Ghostland, a sci-fi neo-noir directed by Japanese director Sion Sono, about a nameless hero sent out into the wasteland to retrieve a lost "grandaughter." The film is mostly known for a certain "explosive" scene, but how does the rest of the film stack up? We share our thoughts on this episode of Good Pop.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
