Why does a low-budget indie film about a struggling laundromat owner resonate so deeply in our chaotic modern world?

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore how Everything Everywhere All At Once captures the fractured attention landscape of contemporary life—and offers an unexpected answer to the question: What do you do when infinite possibilities leave you paralyzed?

In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Brandon Wenzel to discuss the film Everything Everywhere All At Once. The film was written and directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. Starring Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, and Key Huy Quan. We had recorded this conversation earlier in the year, and since then, the film has gone on to be nominated six times for the Golden Globes, winning two of them, one for best actress and one for best actor. I couldn't be more excited for the recognition this film is getting, as I couldn't help but share thoughts on how this film impacted me. At its core, this film is a major step in describing the online experience and how we can be bombarded with anything simultaneously. Life to those online is too much, with no context to put it in its proper place. So please enjoy this deep dive into Everything Everywhere All At Once without further preamble!
