Jordan Bastian, film and artistic genius, joins Steph as we tackle the chaotic wonder that is Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022), by eccentrically amazing duo Daniels. Does the film not just depict undiagnosed adult ADHD, but embody what it’s like to live with it? Does it hold up as an indie form of the wave of immigrant American intergenerational trauma films (e.g. Turning Red)? And is it okay to laugh at Hot Dog fingers?
