We’ve been doing What’s New to Netflix for nine whole years, as we mentioned in our last show, so we do what we do every year! That’s right, we are doing a full-length commentary for a movie that’s on Netflix right now! This time it’s the wacky yet heartfelt multiverse of madness, also known as Everything Everywhere All at Once, starring Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, and James Hong, from 2022, directed by Daniels. So, fire up Netflix and watch all of that silly sci-fi mayhem unfold while we also join in the fun! WARNING: This is not a typical episode of What’s New to Netflix. This is an audio commentary. This episode is meant to be listened to while you watch Everything Everywhere All at Once. If you try to listen to this episode and you are not watching Everything Everywhere All at Once along with us, a lot of this will not make any sense. got a suggestion for the show?: whatsnewtonetflix@gmail.com
