Every Minute of Everything Everywhere All At Once

Chad the teppanyaki chef winks at Evelyn, his raccoon-tail ponytail swishing with impossible liveliness. Then drumming interrupts—Andy Lee banging pipes on cubicles Warriors-style, calling her out for a gang fight. Evelyn faces him with a cake knife and wooden spoon, barely keeping up as the teppanyaki skills flicker in and out. Andy shatters her spoon, she throws a laptop, he swats it mid-leap and lands in a Spider-Man pose. The funniest beat? Evelyn's face after he destroys her laptop—equal parts amazed and offended, like "rude, I worked hard on that throw."We spend serious time in the Chad Trap, explaining why Harry Shum Jr.'s casting subverts the blonde Giga Chad meme. We discover hidden "Story of a Chef" lyrics in the soundtrack, debate Dr. Livesey's legendary phonk walk, and explore why old tech makes fight scenes feel expensive even when the laptops are discontinued junk.The minute shows Evelyn's clay pot cracking harder—she peers between universes like looking under a curtain, her teppanyaki hands working while her face registers total confusion. Both fighters smash each other's earpieces, setting up whatever comes next.Show archiveBanana for Scale Facebook GroupConnect with Kynan on Instagram or LetterboxdConnect with Lester on Facebook, Instagram, or X---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Evelyn chugs orange soda to jump into a teppanyaki chef universe, her hands slicing and spinning eggs with professional precision while her face registers total confusion. She cuts Debbie's dog leash with a wooden spoon and cake knife, sending the pup ricocheting off a cubicle. Then she spins an egg timer like a spatula trick before launching it straight at Debbie's forehead—ding. The funniest beat? Waymond's ADR line explaining the whole movie: "I think when she does something weird it helps her fight. It gives her power."We debate artificial fruit flavors for a solid stretch—Lester ranks orange soda as second-worst (grape wins), while we learn the Gros Michel banana blight changed fake banana flavor forever. We theorize about Michelle Yeoh's soda-chugging practical effects, rant about teppanyaki etiquette (don't be on your phone during the volcano trick), and wonder if the egg-splattered customer is secretly Deirdre in disguise.The minute shows Evelyn's clay pot cracking across universes. Her teppanyaki hands perform tricks she doesn't remember, then her boss delivers the ultimate threat: "I'm giving some of your shifts to Chad." Chad appears with his mysterious raccoon-striped ponytail, ready to steal the spotlight.Show archiveBanana for Scale Facebook GroupConnect with Kynan on Instagram or LetterboxdConnect with Lester on Facebook, Instagram, or X---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Evelyn finishes her shield-spinning fight with a mom-tired hands-on-hips pose, then shepherds Waymond and Joy toward safety like they're late for a flight. But before she can catch her breath, Debbie the dog mom attacks—swinging her dog like a medieval meteor hammer. Evelyn dodges, traps the flying pup in the fridge, and unscrews a two-liter of orange soda while staring Debbie down with crazy eyes and her tongue out. The funniest beat? We hear the comical thud and angry bark as the toy dog bounces into the fridge, then Evelyn closes the door and just grins.We spend quality time defending why the dog-as-weapon sequence is hilarious despite being animal lovers. The obvious fakery and cartoon physics give us permission for the forbidden giggle—we know no real dogs were harmed, so the absurdity lands perfectly. Michelle Yeoh's comedic timing shines as she makes Mom Evelyn's version of action heroics distinctly her own: puffing cheeks, sticking out her tongue, and somehow making unscrewing a soda bottle look threatening.We also dig into family crisis dynamics, comparing how the Wongs handle chaos to the McCallisters running late. Plus: whose birthday cake is sitting untouched in that break room? What's in Sierra's "do not touch" container? And why did Nathan bring Orange Fuzz soda to the party?Show archiveBanana for Scale Facebook GroupConnect with Kynan on Instagram or LetterboxdConnect with Lester on Facebook, Instagram, or X---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Evelyn swallows a wooden frog figurine to jump verses, and Lester is very concerned about the choking hazard. She grabs a SWAT shield mid-fight and suddenly she's spinning it like a pizza sign, blocking seven attackers at once, and finishing in a Matrix-y kung fu pose!We dig into Michelle Yeoh's weapon training—how she carried the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon spear everywhere to make it an extension of her body, then did the same with the pizza sign and SWAT shield for this film. We track how Evelyn's power is growing but also cracking the multiverse: pizza-universe Evelyn pauses mid-spin, confused, sensing the rifts. It's thrilling and concerning at once, like Anakin getting really good at the Force while Obi-Wan nervously watches.We also explore the $11.99 beefy 2X pizza universe (not Little Caesars, despite the Jackie Chan draft), Kynan's traumatic teen years as a dancing pig mascot who got drinks thrown at him, and why those finishing kung fu poses aren't just for show—they're about controlling momentum and chi.Show archiveLearn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

On this episode, it's not over 'til the verse-jumping lady sings! We follow Evelyn as she verse jumps into a world where she is a blind opera singer. What tragic irony that THIS is the universe where Gong Gong is looking on Evelyn with love and pride...and she can't see it! We also got another "Carmen Coincidence" moment because the lyrics of this opera song could mirror Evelyn's feelings about coming back to her dream of singing after such a long time. This is also the minute where the student surpasses the master—Evelyn jumped to this universe all on her own, without anyone in her ear telling her what weird thing to do or even where to jump! We also found a Reddit thread where Jane Lui AKA Surrija—the actor singing the opera in the film—comments on her favorite version of this song! ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.
