Multiverse motherhood films. Jeremy Downing and William Chen are joined by Billy Revell-Siō to discuss Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022). We begin by discussing the horror genre elements of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, particularly harking back to the previous films of Sam Raimi: Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. We talk about the film in context of other Marvel content, particularly Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), Doctor Strange (2016), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), WandaVision (2021), and Captain America: Civil War (2016). We move our discussion to Everything Everywhere All At Once, starting by considering the film alongside Daniels', the directors, previous film: Swiss Army Man (2016). We explore the pertinence of this film, especially in how it speaks to the tensions of today and connected to each hosts' emotions during and after the film. We praise the cast, especially Michelle Yeoh. We talk about the film in connection to Tenet (2020), In the Mood for Love (2001), and Turning Red (2022). The discussion focuses on the gender and queer representation in the film, particularly in relation to parental figures. We return to Doctor Strange 2 and discuss it in comparison to the Spider-Man films, X-Men series, and the range of other properties cameo'd in the film. We discuss the need for a story, connected it to Jurassic World: Dominion (2022), Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), and What If...? (2021). We finish with final thoughts and William lists off the various influences he spotted in Everything Everywhere All at Once: The Matrix (1999), Terry Gilliam, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Michel Gondry, Satoshi Kon, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.
