Crossovers I Didn’t Expect

“… my little soda pop…”

I am humming as I get ready to log in. The entire soundtrack of K-Pop Demon Hunters has been on loop this past week. The songs work well in the movie and work even better as an album to play on repeat. I am not even sure when was the last time I played an album so much on repeat.

I caught the film last week after my older girls raved about it. Needless to say I loved it!

It has been ages since I saw something that stayed true to the cultural milieu it is set it while still appealing to the broader audience. The girls in the film are so relatable. The boys cater to the specific fandom that is K-pop while still telling a story that I am thinking about a week later.

One group feeds off the energy of the masses for public good. Another feeds off the same energy to placate an endlessly greedy overlord.

Why does this feel so familiar? When are we, the divided masses going to realize our collective energy is what is required to secure the honmoon?
