Happy Pride y'all!Frankly movie is not the gayest one we've ever covered, but it damn sure may be the queerest.

It's Ben's birthday show and we're talking about something that is a horror movie in roughly the same percentage as Funny People is a comedy, it's K-Pop Demon Hunters!Listen to us as we marvel at the brilliant writing. Nod with us as we observe the nature of a completely abusive mentorship. Worry with us as we consider the troubling connotations of lore around this world that isn't fully built out in a way that makes us wonder if maybe our heroes aren't heroes at all. We're here to go in way too seriously deep on K-Pop Demon Hunters and we have a first time guest, the writer of Genderqueer, Maia Kobabe here to show us how it's done done done.Who's Responsible for this?Director: Chris Appelhans Maggie KangWriters: Danya Jimenez, Hannah McMechan, Maggie KangStars: Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji-young Yoo, Ahn Hyo-seop, Yunjin Kim.
