The Pod Sisters are here to do a very special episode on Kpop Demon Hunters! The world is going CRAZY about this movie — and FOR GOOD REASON. They HAD to come talk about it and fangirl over EVERYTHING!

Kpop Demon Hunters is a children’s film that premiered on Netflix and is currently blowing up. The characters are great, the storyline is strong, THE SOUNDTRACK BANGS, and the way it highlights Korean culture — both historically and through a K-pop lens — has been incredible to see.

The film centers around a famed K-pop girl group called Hundrix. Rumi, Mira, and Zoey lead a double life as demon hunters, protecting and maintaining a magical barrier named the Honmoon. Drama ensues when a new boy group enters the K-pop world — a group secretly formed by demons.

Throughout the movie, the girls learn more about themselves and come to accept who they truly are. This children’s movie is action-packed, blending idol culture, music, humor, and heart — all wrapped up into one.

Kpop Demon Hunters is available now on Netflix. Add the soundtrack to your playlist ASAP!
