I watched \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d over the weekend. \u2013 Yeah. [laughter] \u2013 You think it got snubbed? \u2013 What are we doing? Now, look, of all the \u2014 \u2013 It got a lot of attention. \u2013 of all the movies, who had a better night than \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d? I mean, with all due respect to Ryan Coogler and Paul Thomas Anderson and Michael B. Jordan, who had a better night? They went \u2014 they batted, they batted a thousand. It\u2019s fantastic. \u2013 But? \u2013 Did y\u2019all watch the movie? \u2013 I loved the movie. \u2013 Did y\u2019all watch the movie? Like where\u2019s the original screenplay nomination? Where is the best picture? I mean, if we\u2019re doing it, where\u2019s the best picture nomination? Because \u2013 Let\u2019s do it. here\u2019s what I\u2019ll say: This is a whole movie about, like, a long tradition of people who\u2019ve been \u2014 who\u2019ve existed as undead and people who\u2019ve existed to stop them from proliferating, these undead. And if I didn\u2019t tell you that I was talking about \u201cKPop Demon Hunters,\u201d I could have been talking about \u201cSinners.\u201d Right? \u2013 That\u2019s a fascinating, like, connection you\u2019re making. Say more. \u2013 They\u2019re the same movie. I mean, they\u2019re very different, but they\u2019re very similar. I mean, they all \u2014 they begin the same. They have the same beginning. Wunmi Mosaku, who plays, you know, Annie the hoodoo-conjurer woman, is essentially laying out this history of, you know, I\u2019m going to boil it all the way down to just The Veil, an African American existential psychic life, right? And what it means to, like, to have two existences, essentially. \u201cIt can pierce the veil between life and death.\u201d And then the beginning of \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d is unfurling this ancient history of, of elders and ancients. \u201cEvery generation, a new tribe of hunters is chosen to fulfill our ultimate duty.\u201d Using music also, right. Like, music has sort of been a part of this, of this, you know, these, demons that exist in people and how do you snuff them out? And these people have been existed to like find the demons and expunge them. And one of the more ingenious Y\u2019all could have thrown this at best original screenplay something like \u2014 I mean, it\u2019s just I mean, it\u2019s more original than, like, at least two of the other nominees. I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t know what we\u2019re doing. \u2013 I love it that in rewatching \u201cKPop Demon Hunters,\u201d you\u2019re like, kind of, you\u2019re elevating it into the same league as \u201cSinners.\u201d Which, maybe, is not unfair. I just wish that I had figured this out months ago. Because I think it\u2019s really deep and I \u2014 it also is just so refreshingly light at the same time. But I mean, it it just works at two different valences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2013 We\u2019re talking about snubs?
