Ep 58 - Everything Everywhere All At Once
This week Raphael surprises Raquel by showing up at her house and taking her to see EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, a movie she had never heard of until about an hour before she saw it. Raphael was stoked because of the stacked lineup of actors, especially because both he and Raquel are big James Hong fans. Raquel felt a little overwhelmed by the manic pacing of the film but loved the throughline of the immigrant family story. Raphael is forced to talk about the profundity of a movie featuring butt plugs with their mother. Raphael compares this to the films of Charlie Kaufman while Raquel draws parallels to JACKASS. With multiverse movies seeming to be a trend right now, this one is heads above the rest. Bit even though Raphael keeps mispronouncing Michelle Yeoh’s name and there are spoilers galore, this is one of the most fun episodes of the podcast yet! The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through & through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a movie to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film. Feel free to write to us!
