BONUS EPISODE: "KPop Demon Hunters" (w/Amal El-Mohtar)
Added 2025-10-02 00:29:36 +0000 UTCOur take on "KPop Demon Hunters": This is what it sounds like. But do we like it? Are we going up up up? Or is it a takedown?

I'm not nearly as annoyed by this movie's success as I was with Frozen's sloptastic BS, but I'm still unenthused that Golden becoming the big hit off it. To me that was the LEAST memorable, and I was not all that into How It's Done as the opener either. It was only until The Saja Boys showed up and ate Huntr/x's lunch that I really got into it; both of their songs were easily clearing until This Is What It Sounds Like finally at least evened the score. But yeah, I'd say they it's a solid enough movie, nowhere near great, in fact this felt more like a stealth pilot for a Demon Hunters TV show rather than a movie that fully fleshed out the other two girls or Celine. TBH it feels like it benefited mostly for being the first Hollywood film project to finally get in on the massive K-Pop market, and first come first served.
