Summary

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For this week's second podcast review, Sara Clements, Dan Bayer, and guest Rendy Jones join me to review and discuss the animated global phenomenon, "Kpop Demon Hunters," starring Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong & Lee Byung-hun. The story follows a K-pop girl group, Huntr/x, who lead double lives as demon hunters; they face off against a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons. The film has earned universal critical acclaim, with praise for its animation, visual style, voice acting, writing, and music. It has since become Netflix's most popular film of all time. The soundtrack album has also seen considerable success, reaching number one and top ten positions on multiple music and streaming charts. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the story, animation, comedy, action, songs, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you very much for listening. We hope you enjoy it!
