The ABCs of HOPE (2026)

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Applebox Chronicles.

My name is Peyton Butoh.

And

I'm Adrian Thomas.

And today on the ABCs, we are taking you from A to Z on Nahong Jin's latest film, his new film.

I believe it's his first one in 10 years since The Wailing.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it has been a while.

Called Hope.

And...

Which gives me hope.

It does.

Once again, banger film.

We've both seen it three times.

Yeah.

Very excited to talk about it.

There's actually quite a bit to talk about because this is a wild movie.

It's crazy.

And you've probably been hearing that if you've heard of it, that's probably what you've heard about it is that it's just crazy.

Yeah.

And you need to go see it.

And I agree.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's such a wild movie that you just have to watch it to experience it.

There's really nothing else like it.

I mean, you can compare it to a few other movies in some areas, but as a whole, there really is nothing else like it.

Yeah, you're not going to get another experience like this in the theater ever.

You have to go see it.

If you tell me that there's like, oh, no new experiences in the movie theater, like, you know, everything is so like samey and whatnot.

Go see this.

Yeah.

This is the one you've been looking for.

And what's what's great about it is like you'll watch like trailers or you'll see the poster and it looks like an action or a horror movie.

But it's actually like really funny, too.

Oh, it's hilarious.

So funny.

There's a scene in the movie which might be the funniest scene that I've seen this year.

Yeah, I agree.

It's funny every time I see it.

Like I said, we've both seen it three times and it's just so perfectly presented.

But yeah, let's get into it.
