About the episode

Sean and Amanda open the show by reacting to every movie trailer from the Super Bowl, including those for David Fincher’s The Adventures of Cliff Booth and Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day (1:25). Then, they talk through their experience at the DGA Awards this past weekend and explain what it’s actually like at an awards show (33:15). Finally, Sean is joined by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the directors of KPop Demon Hunters, to discuss why they wanted to make a movie for themselves first and foremost, how legendary Korean directors Bong Joon-ho and Park Chan-wook inspired their filmmaking style, and the importance of writing interesting and strong female characters (1:25:38).
