108: Substantive Cinema | Everything Everywhere All at Once feat. Jason & Hannah Chao

We've covered a lot of great movies on the podcast before (see list below), but we may have never been more on the same page as this one. Everything Everywhere All at Once is a funny, action-packed, mind-bending film that deals with multiverse theory and features several alternate universe versions of its protagonists, but at its heart it's ultimately a story about a multigenerational family learning to live with and love each other.

Joining us to discuss this film is returning guest and SOLA Network editor, Hannah Chao and her husband, filmmaker Jason Chao. We so our best to cover both the universal and specific themes in the film and talk: intergenerational relations, social media overwhelm and its inherent dangers, the Asian American immigrant experience, and the power of empathy & kindness. It was an absolute pleasure and we hope you enjoy it!
