Riht o men is about thinking about all the roads not taken. It's very, very directly tied to the real world fact that we always carry around with us these questions about how things would have gone differently at crucial moments in our past. We live with what the world we got, and it worked out brilliantly. Not only a micheleo, but everyone in the movies is a fantastic actor. And sar producer, maybe did that. No, on's a fiance. Od call him out on a f podcast. Ye and a noter, gong to get married, but we didn't go to malesia for like a mal or bride new york was hav

Every time we make an important decision, it’s hard not to wonder how things would have turned out had we chosen differently. The set of all those hypothetical lives is a kind of “multiverse” — not one predicted by quantum mechanics or cosmology, but a space of possibilities that is ripe for contemplation. In their new movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, Daniels (the collective moniker for writer/directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) use this idea to tell the story of Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh), who is the “worst” of all her avatars in the multiverse. We talk about philosophy, filmmaking, and how we should all strive to be kind amidst the chaos.
