I have such a hard time explaining EEAAO to older generations, they just don’t get it and I’m over here crying every single time I see Michelle pull Stephanie out of the bagel
My older asian parents were interested after hearing all the buzz and so after much hesitation and not wanting to know if they knew what butt-plugs were, I sat down with them to watch it. They were expecting some couching tiger hidden dragon-esque movie with Michelle Yeoh. They thought the film was pointless, had a boring story and all the flashy and crazy stuff was just for show.
I actually knew this was going to be the outcome since I honestly couldn't see them being able to wrap their heads around a film like this, nor would they relate to the generational trauma focused relationship that resonates more with a 'younger' audience.
ps. and forget tryna explain to them the concept of nihilism vs absurdism 😩
Even just thinking about ot makes me cry hut so many asian elders don't get it
okay wait, there's a quote from a review of this movie that I keep on my phone just because it's the closest I've ever found to an actual summary that accurately describes the movie but is also spoiler free:
"And at first, it seems like a somewhat familiar generational-clash indie movie - tolerance, acceptance, immigration, etc. And then the wheels start coming off. More and more psychedelic things start happening, and there comes a point where you're just like: _Wait, this movie is doing something similar to a lot of things I've seen, but I've always never seen anything like this before._
It goes to places of absurdity and extremity, but also sweetness and sentimentality and darkness. It's this vortex that draws you in, swirls you around, and spits you at the end to say: "That was fvcking awesome." -Spencer Kornhaber, The Atlantic
@@jinnimoo I totally understand why the older Asian community don't get it. It's too crazy and crude for them. They're wrong, but I get it lol.
pulling someone out of a bagel is hard to explain to anyone 😂
I love how Waymond as a nerdy guy doesn't end as a superhero badass beating up evil but as someone who's heart and wisdom brings people to tears. "In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"
Great line indeed. Remembered me of another great movie, “The Family Man”.
Ugh.. that line in the movie broke me. Sobbing mess.
This movie was such a highlight and acknowledgment of the Asian American and immigrant experience. Not just that, but also the Asian queer representation was good. I know some people didn’t like it because it was so overstimulating, but it truly was a love letter and voice by and for our community. Not just that, but it managed to bring something totally new and experimental to cinema. On the surface, the plot may seem messy and confusing, but upon breaking it down and simplifying the themes and ideas, it truly is a masterpiece. Everything is so well connected and supported. I really really love and appreciate this film. Spectacular on every level.
I cried so hard, it put an experience I can't describe into art
If it was a film about a Polish family or if this exact film had been done in China, nobody would have cared. Hollywood is extremely biased.
Average film with average execution, nothing else. Some good themes at the end, under average action film for over half the movie, with a joke per minute.
@@turinturambar501 it won an Oscar so…..
@@turinturambar501everyone keeps saying that “oh it’s just because it starred asian actors its because of hollywood becoming woke” and even if that was true its still a weird argument? if people were paying attention solely because it’s an asian-led cast, it would be because hollywood has notoriously failed to recognise asian-led films in the past to the extent where having a big movie starring asian actors is in itself headline worthy news. the reason it struck a chord with so many people is BECAUSE it touched on issues that a lot of asian immigrant families identified with lol. your not liking it doesn’t mean other people aren’t allowed to
As the child of Cuban immigrants I can say that Everything is pretty universal. We’re not that unique or special. We’re all just stupid humans. Ive watched it 5 times and I never dont cry lol
EEAAO made me sob in the theater. I could not wrap my brain around how two guys got the Asian American experience of a relationship between mother and daughter so accurately. I watched it at an incredibly difficult time in my life and it will always mean so much to me. The Daniels, actors, and crew deserve every award for their heartfelt and incredibly human movie.
Not discrediting the obviously exceedingly talented Daniels at all here, but it does help that it was such a collaborative experience, per the actors' own words. I'm sure they all helped to bring that experience to perfection.
@@PhoTC You are so right! I’m glad you pointed this out. I did hear from interviews that it was a very open and collaborative experience so kudos to everyone who worked hard to bring this masterpiece together.
Everything Everywhere is a prime example of why we need more mid budget films. Enough money to attract top talent and do cool things, not so much that it's too beholden to the people holding the purse strings to tell a meaningful story.
A24 has some great Asian-American narratives. They had ‘The Farewell’, ‘Minari’, ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ and they’ll release ‘Past Lives’ soon.
Past Lives looks really interesting, very excited to see that actress in this role
Can’t wait for Past Lives!
Nothing has hit me as hard emotionally as The Farewell - such a good movie.
Minari is a 10. The Farewell is a 9. EEAAO is a 7 for me.
A24 has been killing it lately!
It deserves ALL the Oscars
Even those of past years.
As a queer daughter of an asian immigrant mother this is my absolute favorite movie ever. My partner and I randomly picked this movie when it came into theaters and I was not prepared lol. The only time I've audibly sobbed in a public space. Truly a cathartic experience for me. If you don't get it you just won't 🤷♀️
Aside from the immigrant backdrop, I'm pretty much the same as you. It's the nihilist in me that found the film very comforting.
I really haven’t connected to a movie this deeply in such a long time, it spoke to my soul. It deserves every Oscar it can get
I love that a studio like A24 exists and they take risks on what they produce. Midsommer was their most successful film before Everything Everywhere All At Once. It's nice to know that there is a studio out there that supports weird but interesting cinema.
I’ve been wanting them to talk about EEAAO for a long time but, figured it wouldn’t happen seeing how the show is about guilty pleasures. I was super excited seeing the episode title and thought they may have just made an exception for this but, was pretty quickly disappointed to know it was just a brief discussion of each Oscar nomination for best picture. There were some great movies in 2022 but EEAAO was on a different level, truly a movie that I think ppl will be talking about for years to come. I would have really enjoyed Zach, Garrick, Kelsey and Miles just talking about this movie, their thoughts and perspectives, things they saw or heard that affected them, the performances of the actors, the screenplay, the writing of the movie. I would have really enjoyed just a deeper discussion about the movie, even if it isn’t a super funny episode. Def would have been down to cry and get introspective w y’all.
I mean, “Angela Bassett did the thing.” with Viola Davis cheering and clapping in the background will never not be iconic.
I know this is a far stretch but, in the spirit of reviewing highly awarded movies, I’d LOVE to hear your guys’ opinions on this year’s international nominees, but specially Argentina, 1985 - so far, it’s won almost every international award it’s been nominated for. It’s a movie about the importance, and sheer fragility, of democracy. A courtroom drama were 9 dictators were prosecuted for their crimes against our people. In Pedro Pascal’s words: ‘Mothers went to the streets to scream on behalf of their children disappeared to a bloody military regime. No other country in the world at that time had taken on their genocidal leaders to expose their crimes and demand justice.’
I mean, I was shocked when I heard they shot the film in a little over a month with a limited budget and a small team just before the Pandemic was announced.
Zach really gave us a reminder of chaotic times. Also, that sort of thing happens at Indian Award Shows all the time. It’s just that I thought it was a joke at first.
More than Will Smith and Chris Rock, Lupita Nyong’o had amazing face journeys.
The best Meta Moment in ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ is the ode to Wong Kar Wai and it’s so cute.
No one:
Miles: “After watching this movie for the second time, I looked up the price of laundromats.”
He’d have the best laundromat titled ‘Perfect Washing’ with the tagline: ‘Where I’m Perfect and you’re Washing.”
38:29 - "There's no way it wins picture, director and screenplay"
So yeah... about that...
With the deluge of digital releases i don't really go to theatres much but EEAAO made me believe in the atmosphere of the theatre. Everyone laughing, crying and just really interacting with the whole movie. It is such an experience. Especially during the rock scene when everyone goes quiet and you can hear the sniffles and awwws in the crowd. Those were just rocks with text that moved the hearts of this many people. I have gone to watch the movie 3 times at the theatre since.
I just watched it for the first time tonight, at home, but I'm texting the group chat first thing in the morning to make plans to see it again
My partner and I saw EEAAO in a theater in the middle of the week for a matinee with the only other viewer being an old lady who didn’t quite understand it when we asked her what she thought about it afterward. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a movie and immediately needed to connect with the other people who saw it to check that they also had a transcendental experience. So much of what I consume lately is fandom based. It was refreshing to go into it with zero expectations and come out feeling so fulfilled. It was one of two movies we saw in theaters through the entirety of the pandemic. The other was Shang Chi because it was in that pocket of time where we thought the worst of Covid was behind us. Nobody was talking about EEAAO when we saw it but when we did we said to ourselves this is what cinema is supposed to be about. And that was before we knew any of what went into making it. It deserves more than Oscars. If they don’t win then it’s just further proof that the academy doesn’t have any true grasp of what makes a good movie anymore.
this movie made me cry at over 5 separate scenes and I never ugly sobbed while laughing SO hard in my entire life tbh. And the movie doesn't exactly correlate to me. But it hit home a bit with a infuriating and unfair father figure in place of Evelyn. And the nihilism of Joy and the implications of depression and suicide hit so close and made me break down over and over. I fucking started sobbing so hard as soon as the bagel was first revealed, that 'Nothing... Matters' from Jobu made me break down and crumple in relatability.
The only issue with having an award show for stunts is that it might encourage people to take bigger risks I think
Yeah, I remember a theory back in the Moonlight year that the Oscars people intended the thing to be misread (they intentionally made the typography confusing), inspired by then fresh Steve Harvey Miss Universe incident.
@@cheesecakelasagna I think you might have replied to the wrong comment
This is a nonsense argument. If anything, stunts have become much more safer compared to the shit Jackie Chan used to do. Stunt coordinators already do their best to be innovative and creative and create something new. Awards are just about recognition. Most people in the industry don't do what they do for the sake of awards, but for the love of the craft.
Please make this a yearly thing! I love the guilty pleasures but I also love to hear all of your takes on good shit occasionally too 😂
I’m surprised no one mentioned Nope getting snubbed for VFX and sound design. I’m still gonna watch for the Everything Everywhere sweep but those snubs were a CRIME…
oh god the slapgate opening LMAO--but before i even finish the ep YES y'all my attachment to EEAO is unparalleled as an eldest immigrant daughter i have taken my whole circle of ethnic immigrant daughter friends to see it 3x and i have been READY for my childhood icon Michelle Yeoh (we share the same last name she has been my go-to celeb name drop for decades!) to get her well-deserved dues and that oscar is calling
as an eldest immigrant daughter (queer on top of it all 😂😂😂) i always make the joke that this movie is therapy for myself
@@alaytheaherr #twinning! queer as well and my group of ethnic gals are all about as straight as a circle (which is why I was v eager to take the rest of them out to see EEAO when me + my platonic life partner randomly watched it in an empty theater together) 🥹 everyone deserves a chance to see themselves on screen and have a happy ending
I’m so exited for the 100th Episode. Thank you for all the laughs, the fashion and the happy memories ❤
What I love about EEAAO is how everyone has
a different reaction to it. I am very close with my mother so I saw it as a touching action sci fi comedy. I laughed the whole time. For other people, they may cry.
I can’t get the little “Cutie Pie!” Line out of my head after watching triangle of sadness haha loved Carl
Best film of the year. Yes it does.
My #1 films of the year usually don't win best picture Oscar so this will be rare. Well Parasite did but can't recall any other before that this century.
If RRR’s “Naatu Naatu” does not win Best Original Song - I will cry a thousand tears, re-watch it for the 1000x, then add it to my will to be played at my funeral
That was my favorite win from the Oscars this year, I thought it was going to get snubbed and I'm so glad it didn't
garrick talking about beyonce not winning best album was so cathartic. thank you for that little mention because u were correct, sir.
I wanted him to mention Kendrick also losing AOTY awhile back and turn it full circle lol.
All those giddy love for action and Steven Spielberg reminded me of the movie The Adventures of Tintin, which is directed by the man himself (and screenplay by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish).
There's one action-packed long take that, to this day, breaks my brain every time.
I'm not kidding, I saw this movie in theaters last year 8 times the month it came out. Daughter of immigrant parents, this movie was scary accurate sci fi depiction of what it's been like
The scene with the rocks was really funny and added a cute and lighthearted universe to the otherwise emotionally heavy universes (?)
Yes we're finally getting an Oscar special!
I never knew you'd be doing this.
So excited!!! 😆😆😆
I immediately clocked the Sylvester and the Magic Pebble reference with the rocks and I appreciated it so much.
We need a Guilty Pleasures Oscar Results reaction Please!!!!
I have been searching this up every week!!! Finally 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
If Michelle and Ke don’t win in their categories I will shave my head and cry for a week straight 💜😭
Enjoy keeping your lovely locks.
YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE EVERY SINCE I SAW IT IN THEATERS THRICE
0:01 HAVENT started this episode at all but the answer is HELL YES to the title ❤️
This episode is wonderful - love an awards szn special, we’re munching whorridge but now also receiving a bran muffin or something
Literally watching it for the fourth time already yikes
FINALLY!!! I'm so excited to dive into this episode!!!
As someone watching all 40 Oscar Nominees before the Oscars (just watched Bardo and am interested to hear anyone's thoughts really), I'm all for EEAAO getting best picture. Just the scale and the sentiment and heart of that movie, how insanely fresh and charming and experimental - it deserves it. Also loved Babylon (despite some flaws) it was laced with crack
Firstishhhhh?!❤️ I love this idea of a special tied to real life events. I would love to see y'all do a section of feelings towards movies coming out each week or something
I am so happy to feel the love for banshees of inisherin here, I feel so validated
I've been waiting for this episode all year
Immediately watched Navalny after finishing this. Great recommendation, Kelsey.
My family and I watched this movie and laughed and cried together.
WELL all your wishes came true! EEAAO SWEPT - including my most wanted win - YEOH! I AM CRYING with this HISTORY
i haven’t watched the episode yet but the answer is absolutely yes, it’s actually one of the only movies that’s ever deserved an oscar
loved this episode guys! :)) maybe you could do this with emmys as well
I saw this video and immediately clicked just to say "YES IT DOES"
I will also watch however LMAO
If Garrick wanted a movie on living an alternative life, he could’ve seen ‘Nomadland’.
When I saw the trailer, I was bowled over by it and I was impatient to watch it. I was jealous of everyone who had seen it and now that I have seen it, I can’t wait to check out the Discourse.
I really loved this episode ❤
I finally found time to watch this movie and I can't wait to watch Guilty Pleasures for it!!! It's like having friends you want to share the experience with!!
Yes, please do this next year!
Anybody here after Oscars night? 🥰
4:12 totally aged well 😂😅
its such a good story that makes u reflect on nihilism, the meaning of life, The importance of loving your family right. In a world where everything seem to be empty (the bagel that has a hollow centre) Waymond’s googly eyes (seems empty outside but filled in the centre) is what made Evelyn find her JOY, their JOY.
I grew up in Hong Kong watching movies of michelle, an i am very proud of her, but i think what made people love the movies ppl of all backgrounds, not just the asian american and lgbt representation is b cause its a Human experience
How fitting, I just watched this movie for the first time last night 😆
All ill say is EEAAO got a re release in theaters that same year. No other contenders even did that. Means people really wanted to see the movie
In Taiwan we even re releaseed in IMAX theatre to support the oscar!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING!!!
Please do this again next year!!!
Been waiting for this one
EEAAO is a F-cking amazing movie. I watched it four times and I cried every time. It touched me in so many ways, I can't even begin to unravel the ways. Just when you think it couldn't get more weird, it takes another turn and pulls your gut. JLC was also amazing and deserved it. The entire cast deserves oscar, and I'm ok with JLC winning.
I don't think is necessarily a generational thing. I think it's a "I'm not willing to make myself vulnerable enough to enjoy something so deep that speaks to my soul because after 60 years of dodging therapy (because it's for crazy people), I wouldn't be able to deal with all the feels" thing.
Huh
Excellent quote. It’s something that happens way too often in lives.
I would love to hear your opinion on the international nominees since I think the 5 movies are quiet different from the other movies that are in the "normal" categories.
love this!
I ugly cried during this movie
I rarely cry when watching a movie, but I always choke up just watching clips of or talking about this movie, this movie was probably the best thing to ever happen to my psyche.
Tár is great as a horror movie 😱 that scene with the “dog” was terrifying!
I really wanna find out why you put "dog" in quotations
Everything Everywhere All at once deserves all the awards
I agree,Will sticking up for his wife was lovely
After I watched EEAAO, I came back to this episode to listen. I agree with everything that was said, Michelle should've won over Jamie, no question. Angela also should've won over her too.
Pleeeaaaaase do an episode reacting to this year’s Oscars winners next 😆😆
Keep us straight Miles!!
EEAAO and the reaction to it is a movie that reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where everyone is raving about The English Patient but Elaine hated it and wants to watch Sack Lunch instead.
EEAAO is definitely the winner for me. One of the best films I have seen in years!
Pretty disappointed you guys didn’t watch The Whale with the amount of love you each expressed for Brendon Fraser during the Mummy episode. I get the issues with the fat suit but for Brendon Fraser I’ll support everything lol he was phenomenal.
The most shocking snub was Danielle Deadwyler and Viola Davis.
If you guys will talk about multiple movies, esp Oscar's movies, I think we really won't mind extended hours of the pod..
also wouldn't't mind having more ,movie clusters like this
YESSSS. THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING
Speaking of the idea of The Daniels doing an adaptation of a work:
if there was anyone ever that I would trust to do a satisfying film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's written work, it's The Daniels.
They understand how absurd humour can be a potent vehicle for emotional catharsis, and have shown they already nail the use of connecting themes in non-linear story telling. They're masters of montage and the picaresque style.
Imagine Slaughterhouse 5 (The Children's Crusade) with The Daniels style.
I'm going feral just thinking about it
The way they talk about Elvis doing a "black thing" in a room full of black people reminds me of when Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray dancing in that classroom full of black people and how she suddenly became "cool" because she was a white person dancing

* Subsequently, the directors cast Michelle Yeoh (60) and Ke Huy Quan (51) and gender-swapped the story.
* The mother-daughter dynamic is more compelling than the father-daughter conflict or father-son conflict.
My Review
* Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All at Once is a movie about nothing. More precisely, nothing matters.
* At first, I was not too fond of the movie. The “over-the-top” humor was too much for my sensibility. On the surface, it is a tired story about a dysfunctional multi-generational Chinese family in America. Underneath, it is about “nihilism” across the multiverse.
* I notice more on each rewatch: (1) the set design, (2) the symbolism of circles everywhere, (3) the range of acting, and (4) the fight choreography. I realize that the over-the-top humor was intended to shock the viewers out of complacency and to think “outside the box.”
* Michelle Yeoh, the lead actress, gave the performance of her life. Jamie Lee Curtis, a supporting actress, was hilarious. Stephanie Hsu, a supporting actress, gave a breakout performance. Ke Huy Quan, a supporting actor, gave an award-winning performance. Ke was the 12-year-old Chinese boy in Indiana Jones 2 but quit acting to be a stunt coordinator.
* Everything Everywhere All at Once led all 2022 films with 11 Oscar nominations.
I really think this movie and Mulholland Drive are the best movies since the year 2000.
The Academy needs to take a "risk" and give the major ATL awards to EEAAO. I know in the future people would be like damn! that was a good win.
And it happened!!!!
As much as I think EEAAO is a worthy Best Picture winner, I still feel it would have been better as a TV show. It does have pacing issues that might have been easier to fix with time and an episodic nature.
Also, heck yeah! Both O'Connells have an Oscar now.
Listening after the Oscars is fun to hear how wrong some of these predictions were!! EEAAO ❤❤❤
best movie in years
I'm thrilled to watch oscar nominations noww
Please review Jawbreaker! That is an iconic movie!!!!!
Anyone know which stitch they are refering to in the beginning?
one of the Best movies Ever
I can't wait for the Ed Sheeran biopic to have a scene where Ed is playing to a crowd of black people (Jamie Foxx included) and they're in awe of him ala in Elvis. I just knew it'll be there.
Whiplash was for me one the best if the best movie ever, now he is ex-aequo with EEAO. So happy this film exist, it really made my life better. PS : I so much hope that the daniels will stay as kind and genuine are they were before oscars, it's the triumph of intelligence and kidness over hollywood greed.
Ps 2 : i just learnt that they ve done " turn down for what clip", how can i love them more ?
I’m happy to see the list of presenters. They’ve chosen well this time.
I hate to put this out there but there are very few POC not rooting for EEAAO. It's different. It's intersectional. It's really rare in the sense that it focuses on a minority group and it gives them hope. Like yeah we get it, Tár was a great stitch of stories you find on the internet of problematic white people and it was artful in several ways but it just was not all of that. I, with a lot of my nonwhite friends, fail to see how it was all that original. All Quiet on the Western Front would have dominated if EEAAO was not in contention this year.
