The Kpopcast crew dives deep into Netflix's animated hit "Kpop Demon Hunters" - and they're completely obsessed! Join DJ Peter Lo, Syed, Virginia, and PD Nim as they break down everything from the incredible soundtrack (which they argue is better than 90% of actual K-pop) to the spot-on cultural references that prove the creators really knew their stuff. They discuss the film's authentic portrayal of fan culture, the clever metaphors about industry exploitation, hilarious K-drama tropes, and why this movie works for both hardcore K-pop stans and complete newcomers. Plus: thoughts on sequel potential, the genius of naming conventions, and why "Golden" deserves an Oscar. Spoilers included - watch the movie first!
