Ep50 - The Joy in Everything, with Lauren Wong

FEATURED FILM: Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022). OTHER FILMS DISCUSSED: High School Musical 3 (2008), The Book of Life (2014), Poltergeist (2015), The Farewell (2019)

Comedian, film student, kpop aficionado, and lowkey TikTok star Lauren Wong joins us to discuss how fandom brings joy; why scary movies are better if they're good; the time Lauren accidentally ended up at an LA movie premiere and met all of Asian Hollywood*; what the heck is "formal casual wear"; boba liberals; the bamboo ceiling; and the meaningfulness of meaninglessness. There's something for everybody, and everybody is somebody to someone, so I hope this episode is for you (Daniel Kwan). Enjoy, everyone (everywhere)!

*only a slight exaggeration
