(Netflix) K-POP DEMON HUNTERS

[Gradine]

Not sure whether you mean Denniz Pop (who died in the early 00s) or his "apprentice" Max Martin (who's still very much active), but I'll have you know that we Swedes have an excellent grasp of English.

As a descendent of Swedes I can say that we hold the Swedish Chef in only the highest of regards.

But yeah, I was referring to Max Martin, who among other things is responsible for this iconic pronunciation:

John Scalzi argues here that KDH is a genuinely grass roots hit that nobody saw coming, and I’m inclined to agree:

The December Comfort Watches 2025, Day One: K-Pop Demon Hunters

A couple of years ago I did a series of movie reviews about the movies I enjoy rewatching — not the best movies of all time, or the most important movies, but the ones I’m happy to spen…

It’s wild that the three Huntrix singers did the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. I see EJAE has her own single out. The music video seems to mostly consist of her learning piano as a child. Way to share the trauma, girl.

I have really enjoyed the movie, and the music. Most of my latest music has been basically KPOP Demon Hunters or Hazbin Hotel, I've had "Golden" and "Gravity" on endless loops, lol.

We loved it, including the KPOP and the lyrics. A classic, I would say. Mythical black & white storytelling with a redemption and self-acceptance story. It has staying power. No wonder kids play it on repeat.

I'm still convinced this is a phenomenon in the making. In the lead up to Epiphany I've seen tons and tons of unlicensed merchandise, between toys, plushies and lots of billboarding in clothes. (In my country, Epiphany is the top day for toy gifting instead of Christmas which still sees heavy toy sales, but not to the same extent).

Netflix/Sony really left a lot of money on the table. They could have licensed it out instead of say Stranger Things.

Wait, my birthday is a major holiday in your country? And in Argentina, Bulgaria, Paraguay, and Uruguay? Neat. Sorry it’s also US Insurrection Day.
