I’m having dinner and working at a tavern type place and the group next to me was excitedly talking about K Pop Demon Hunters and they paid their check and left and a young couple on a date sat down and are now also talking about K Pop Demon Hunters.

Daniel you shouldn't have been able to overhear these conversations if you were having your own conversation about K Pop Demon Hunters as pop culture law dictates.

I mean it's not at a level of Spider-Verse, The Wild Robot, or Flow, but it's catchy and enjoyable

It’s well made, but is a very Americanized version of K-Pop.

I went to a sushi bar on Hollywood the other day and they played the Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack on a loop. It is everywhere.

Good thing Netflix canceled all their animated shows and fired thousands of animation artists. Wouldn’t want to make money.

I have not watched it yet but my son says it was lame (he is 8 and only wants to do Yu Gi-Oh shit right now 🙄) and my daughter who is six says it was “pretty good”, they watched it at their grandmothers house apparently.

Either that movie is a hit *for real* or there is some morphogenetic field bubble hovering over that table.

My 4 yo granddaughter was sad that I didn’t know how to play “Golden” on the piano yet, so I sat down and watched it yesterday. It’s the real deal, for sure.

Just watched it today with my kids and really enjoyed it. Kind of bummed we missed out on the in theater sing-a-long. Just read that practically the entire soundtrack is on the Billboard TOP 40 (and 4 songs are in the top 10).

It’s a pretty great piece of pop culture microhistory. It outperformed Weapons!
