678. Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)

*When we last left off The Warlock had watched Elvis with Mr. America and The Whale with Neyzor Blades. Neyz was about to leave and go to bed when Warlock stopped her*

N: I’m going to bed.

W: You’re not going anywhere, there’s still one more operation to go.

N: What are you talking about.

W: The reason I came back in the middle of July to finish off this unfinished business four months after the Oscar’s. I watched Elvis and now I’m going to watch the movie that beat it out for Best Picture.

N: Its about time.

W: That’s right. Tonight’s movie is the 2022 insane drama EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE. This movie almost completely swept the Oscar’s back in March. Michelle Yeoh won Best Actress, Stephanie Hsu was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Ke Huy Quan won Best Supporting Actor, Jamie Lee Curtis won Best Supporting Actress, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert both were credited for Best Screenplay and Best Director while the movie won Best Editing. It was also nominated for Best Original Score, Best Original Song and Best Costume Design.

N: That’s a lot.

W: Indeed. So now its time to walk the fucking walk. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE beat out All Quiet On The Western Front, Avatar: Way of the Water, The Banshees of Inisherin, Elvis, The Fabelmans, Tar, Top Gun: Maverick, Triangle Of Sadness and Women Talking for Best Picture. If I’m reading that right, that means Elvis came in 5th place.

N: Will you stop with Elvis?

W: Oh I will. Now its time to find out if this movie is better. I’ve been stewing about it for months and hopefully this movie blows my mind. Otherwise I’m gonna be mad. Its got a great cast so lets see what the hype is about. Grab your popcon, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE.

W: Well……this movie turned out to be better than Elvis after all. What do I know then? Well, now I know….and I quit.

*Warlock goes into his room and shuts the door*
