Welcome to GT radio on the Geek Therapy network. Here at Geek Therapy. We believe that the best way to understand each other and ourselves is through the media we care about. My name is Marc Cuiriz and I am joined by Lara Taylor.
Lara Taylor 0:24
Hey,
Marc Cuiriz 0:26
Link, Keller.
Link Keller 0:27
Hello.
Marc Cuiriz 0:29
And Josué Cardona.
Josué Cardona 0:31
Hey, Mark. Hey, everybody.
Marc Cuiriz 0:33
Hello. Hello, guys. So, link, we missed you last week.
Link Keller 0:37
I missed you all, too.
Marc Cuiriz 0:39
But I believe since you missed last week, this is your turn this week. So what do you got for us?
Link Keller 0:45
Well, while I was on vacation, I convinced a couple of friends to watch a movie that I have been dying to see a little film called everything everywhere all at once. And we laughed, we cried. I have been thinking about it constantly. And I rewatched it again last night in preparation for our recording. And by God, it’s such a good movie!!
Josué Cardona 1:19
It’s one of those movies that on the second. It’s it’s like you have to I feel like you have to watch it again. A second time.
Link Keller 1:26
I think that’s right. I think you do. I think you do have to watch it again.
Lara Taylor 1:31
I’ve only watched it one time. And I mostly get what was going on, but like so like I understand it more than inception.
Link Keller 1:41
more accessible than inception. That’s the tagline
Lara Taylor 1:43
Yeah. But there’s a whole lot of in the beginning, I was like, What the fuck is going on? So
Josué Cardona 1:49
I think it’s a lot of just like, there’s a lot there that you’re not supposed to. It’s impossible to know what it means. Right? It’s all hidden. So then when you watch it the second time you’re like, Oh, it was all there. Like there was all this stuff going on. But also every time I have a discussion about the movie with someone I feel like this movie’s got layers is in my opinion.
Lara Taylor 2:08
It’s an onion, an onion.
Josué Cardona 2:10
It’s an onion, yeah. Yeah. Why do you want to talk about?
Link Keller 2:15
Well, first I want to start with we are going to be talking spoilers. But for our listeners, unless you are like very adamant of avoiding spoilers. Please listen to this episode, because talking about it is not at all the same experience as watching it. And even if you know every plot beat, the experience of watching this film is amazing. I would consider this in the top tier of all films of all time. How much I think that this is fantastic and amazing. visual auditory experience. So if any of you want to opt out, that’s fine. I understand. But like
Lara Taylor 2:58
many of you watching this, many people in the discord would cosign that that is the best. That’s like the best cinematic experience. I saw that right when it came out too.
Josué Cardona 3:10
Also if if someone if you haven’t seen it, stick around because you won’t believe what I’m talking about what actually happened in the movie anyway. Try guessing if it’s true or not.
Lara Taylor 3:22
Maybe we’ll throw some little lies in there. Just maybe,
Lara Taylor 3:25
maybe, maybe.
Link Keller 3:26
you’ll know when you see it.
Josué Cardona 3:27
Maybe
Link Keller 3:28
and see it again. Yeah. Yeah, no, I want to talk about this movie because obviously I loved it. It is fantastic. Movie. It is a heartwarming family story. It is fun sci fi multiverse stuff in you know, recently we have had several multiverse movies. And I think this one
Josué Cardona 3:55
everything is a multiverse movie
Link Keller 3:57
that Well, I think that this movie is the top tier of multiverse movies. Which is hard to say because I did deeply love Spider Man into the spider verse. But this was so good!! Yeah, I think it’s got really deep, delicious themes to talk about. It’s philosophical. It is humorous. It is heartwarming, it is emotionally destroying. It’s great. I I just I can’t wait to talk about this with you guys.
Lara Taylor 4:38
There are a lot of what the fuck moments
Link Keller 4:41
Yes, there are.
Josué Cardona 4:43
It’s it’s it’s one of my favorite live action animes I’ve ever watched.
Link Keller 4:47
that is a great way to describe it.
Josué Cardona 4:50
And it’s yeah, I also think that this movie works really well as we never use this term. Like, like a Rorschach movie. But I really do think that depending on your current state of mind, it will hit you in different ways. I think because it touches on so many things, and in ways that it’s like the first time I saw it, things were very clear. And the second time I saw it, things were very clear in a different way. And I don’t think either one was wrong. So I can’t I can’t wait. show me show me those notes, Link. what you got?
Link Keller 5:30
Yes, I did take notes. And I do also want to point out that this is in this notebook. At least this is the first time that I’ve, I’ve done both pages. Usually I keep it to one page for my notes, but I was just too excited. Also, I drew the everything bagel a couple of times. Yeah, if you got daddy issues, there’s something to relate to. If you got mommy issues, there’s something to relate to. If you have ever been depressed, and nihilistic, there is something to relate to.
Lara Taylor 6:02
If you’re a parent, there’s something to relate to.
Link Keller 6:06
Absolutely.
Lara Taylor 6:07
If you like hot dogs,
Josué Cardona 6:08
if you have parents there’s something to relate to,
Link Keller 6:11
if you’ve ever enjoyed anything that Jamie Lee Curtis is in, you have something to look forward to. God, she’s a treasure. Oh my gosh. Ah, okay. So, basic outline, our main character played by Michelle Yeoh. Evelyn is
Josué Cardona 6:30
fun fact, if you have the subtitles on, it refers to her as bagel Evelyn,
Link Keller 6:36
Bagel Evelyn. aww. She is a wife and mother and her family owns a laundromat and they are in the process of doing their taxes. That’s it. That’s the whole movie.
Josué Cardona 7:00
That’s how Part One starts
Lara Taylor 7:02
then Nope. That’s the whole movie.
Marc Cuiriz 7:04
Yeah, that really is it?
Lara Taylor 7:08
It starts and ends with it. Yes.
Josué Cardona 7:11
Spoilers.
Link Keller 7:12
Spoilers. Yes,
Josué Cardona 7:14
it’s taxes.
Link Keller 7:16
Evelyn is strained, she is exhausted with her life and the struggles that she has to deal with a distant and unapproving father, her husband who she feels is very silly and not very competent. And her daughter who representation lesbian is, you know, not doing a ton and Evelyn finds issue with all of these things. She’s very displeased with the state of her life, and how she got into this position. While on the way to go do her taxes, something mysterious happens where Waymond her husband’s changes and tells her that something big is happening, and that she has a choice to turn left and go to her tax meeting, or to turn right and go into the janitor’s closet. And she’s like, What are you talking about? Dude? That’s...
