Dìdi (2024) is a charming and sometimes painfully relatable coming-of-age story set in the mid-2000s, complete with MySpace profiles, low-res YouTube videos, and all the awkwardness of adolescence. Written and directed by Sean Wang, the film is clearly a deeply personal project inspired by his own youth, and even features his real-life grandmother playing Nai Nai. Izaac Wang stars as Chris, a teenage boy stumbling his way through friendships, family, and first crushes, while we laugh and cringe at his consistently bad choices (but hey, teenagers gonna teenager). And in our Question of the Week segment, we go over our top picks (and make an official bet) on who we think should take over the role of James Bond.
