Minari

So I'm really going to try and get him on the podcast to talk about the film because for it, he had to write songs for the film.

And then he also brought on board Emil Masseri, who we know and love on the show from his work on Minari and many other things, to work on the score again.

He worked with Emil on A Real Pain.

So I'll try and lock him down and see if we can get him on the podcast.

It's

from Minari.

It's on the soundtrack of Minari film.

And it's a slow and crucially slowed down and reverb version.

And so I've done that with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack as well.

He is sort of an outsider in this equation.

He was in Minari also that we reviewed earlier this year.

But yeah, he was kind of an outsider to the family's drama besides a few times when he tells Bridget to be nicer to his mother and another moment in the film where he tells Eric that he was dealing in depression in his early 30s and this made him put off studying to be a social worker in college.

in which the dad, Eric, responds that he's happy he's Catholic because Catholicism is a natural antidepressant.

... without overlaying it over anything, and I'd still be like, "This is crazy."

So, you know, I, I told you off-pod that one of the films that I initially wanted to double feature this with wa- was Minari.

Yes.

Because I thought Minari was, while also casting A- A, uh, actors of Asian descent-

Mm-hmm

... that we did see like a good bit of the farming aspect and what farming means to, like, not just the individual, but the family.

And the legacy of farming and what you're willing to do for your family.

I thought that that would be a fantastic double feature for this.

Burning, I remember the disappointment that happened with Steven Yeun around that performance.

He eventually got there with Minari.

Um, I hope that we correct it this time around and realize that the subtle filmmaking of someone, uh, like, like him is something that we actually want to reward, because those acting performances are so much harder than the broad Robert Pattinson in Prime Time type stuff, and I do feel like they should be rewarded as well.

So that, that's my 10.

So this very well could be a relay style, uh, directorship.

So who do you put, who's on your shortlist if you had to guess right now, who we could see come here out of, uh, for an Episode XI, Episode XII post? Do you think it's the Skeleton Crew roster? Like I said, people like, uh, Thunderbolt Schryer, Lee Isaac Chung, Twisters, Minari.

He was also nominated for an Oscar.

Uh, the two Daniels, Everything Everywhere All at Once.
