Cuckoo (AKA The Episode that Nearly Wasn't) with Justin Jordan

First Ben had a sudden deadline fall in their lap. Then Emily got sick. But Jeremy decided to soldier on without them! After all, comic writer Justin Jordan was joining the podcast for the first time and we were talking about the really good and very queer horror film Cuckoo.Then, Jeremy's entire neighborhood lost power for a full 12 hours mid-episode.However! Justin was a real trooper and came back to finish talking to Jeremy about Cuckoo in spite of all the many many reasons potentially not to.As a result, the sound is also a little weird and the episode is Frankensteined together from two different recordings.

It's Ben's birthday show and we're talking about something that is a horror movie in roughly the same percentage as Funny People is a comedy, it's K-Pop Demon Hunters!Listen to us as we marvel at the brilliant writing. Nod with us as we observe the nature of a completely abusive mentorship. Worry with us as we consider the troubling connotations of lore around this world that isn't fully built out in a way that makes us wonder if maybe our heroes aren't heroes at all. We're here to go in way too seriously deep on K-Pop Demon Hunters and we have a first time guest, the writer of Genderqueer, Maia Kobabe here to show us how it's done done done.Who's Responsible for this?Director: Chris Appelhans Maggie KangWriters: Danya Jimenez, Hannah McMechan, Maggie KangStars: Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Ahn Hyo-seop, Yunjin Kim.

Years ago, when we first had Erica on the show the first time, she wanted to talk about the Hong Kong horror movie Dream Home, but it had disappeared from all the streaming platforms.
