Episode Description:
All writers dream of that moment when a producer says, “we want to make your movie,” but then comes the nuts and bolts of what that actually means. What if we disagree with the notes? What if we can’t deliver on what’s being asked? We’re going over all of these questions today!

This week, we’re joined by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, the writer-directors of KPOP DEMON HUNTERS, to unpack the craft behind one of the year’s biggest movies.
From finding the emotional core of their story to shaping “Golden” into a late-breaking “I Want” song, Maggie and Chris share how they balanced friendship, romance, comedy, worldbuilding, and music all in one movie.
We also dive into the messy joy of writing in editorial, why tiny character moments like “Couch, Couch, Couch” carry so much weight, and how specificity in both music and story can unlock something universal.
