Everything, Everywhere, One At A Time.

I recently watched Everything Everywhere All At Once. Some people thought it was a boring, overdone trope. Others called it “The Matrix but with a mother and daughter”, all while it was sweeping the Oscars. I watched the movie twice. The first time it was just a thrilling ride into…
