Ep. 110: Everything Everywhere All at Once

Nate and Ryan re-watch Everything Everywhere All at Once. In addition to being the top nominated movie at this year’s Oscars (11 nominations), Everything Everywhere All at Once is also one of our favorite movies from last year. Despite, or maybe because of its mind-bending multiversal action, audiences flocked to see it and dared to look into the center of the everything bagel. With so much to digest, listen in as Nate and Ryan discuss what makes Everything Everywhere All at Once so perfect for these times and why it connected with so many people.
