“Quiz Lady” (2023)

Hulu’s “Quiz Lady” benefits from the comedic talents of the brilliant Sandra Oh

We here at the Lakshmi and Asha Show love a good road-trip comedy. Any time a group of people (or a duo) are stuck in a confined space for hours on end, you’re bound to get some drama. From the classics: “Thelma and Louise”, “The Blues Brothers”, “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World” (etc), to the three “Harold and Kumar” movies and “Little Miss Sunshine” the appeal of this genre endures. 

This year has given us two road trip movies starring Asian-American women: this summer’s “Joy Ride,” and now “Quiz Lady”, which premiered this week on Hulu. "Quiz Lady" stars Sandra Oh and Awkwafina as a pair of sisters who couldn’t be more different and as soon as we saw the trailer we knew we had to watch it.
