We have rediscovered a treasure trove of cringey Desi movies on YouTube. Shabnam and Sameem rewatch “American Desi” 25 years later; starring Kal Penn and others. Zohran Mamdani’s mom, Mira Nair, did NOT direct this movie. If you want a real life (yea right!) look into Desi’s going to college in the late 90’s; this is the movie for you. It’s got Kama Sutra references, Indian Club shenanigans, white girls who fetishize brown skin and girls who forgive red flag dudes a little too easily. Also; brown people say the N word in this without a sense of irony. Watch it on YouTube and come listen to us be confused AF.
