On season 9, episode 2 of Paid in Puke, we're sorting out the 2022 smash genre bender, "Everything Everywhere All At Once", directed by The Daniels, and starring Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Key Huy Quan, Jenny Slate, and Jamie Lee Curtis. This sleeper hit broke records and hearts during the 2023 awards season.
It tells the story of a middle-aged Chinese immigrant who runs a Laundromat with her husband and struggled to reconcile her taxes while battling a clandestine force and attempting to keep the multi-verse from collapsing.
We discuss the film's numerous themes including generational trauma, the immigrant experience, capitalist f*ckery, empathy in the face of nihilism, and why it's never too late to change. Plus some Hot Probs.
On the Lunchtime Poll, we pinpoint a single decision that affected the rest of our lives.
