Minute 89 – We Put EVERYWHERE On A Bagel!

Part Two of Everything Everywhere All at Once begins here, and it sneaks up on you. Evelyn sits at her dining room table, holds up that receipt with the big black circle, and splits the screen cleanly in two — placing it in both piles at once. Warm piano kicks in, title cards appear, and then a buzzer cuts everything off: the Chinese choir has arrived, and right behind them is Joy.

Before we get there, we finally deliver on last episode’s promise and cover the Spaghetti Baby Noodle Boy deleted scene in full. An elbow macaroni rises through a boiling pasta pot — voiced by Jenny Slate — calling out for his spaghetti mother, asking whether he’ll stick to the wall on Throwing Day, and wondering why God would give him a hole for no reason. The Daniels called it the hardest thing they ever cut. We connect Evelyn’s response to him — “you’re not gonna stick, you’re a different kind of pasta” — to the first real flicker of her villain arc.

We also dig into what Evelyn’s clean universe-split actually means (control of powers, wrong use of powers), break down the quantum suicide imagery in the receipt shot, and spend a loving amount of time on the Chinese choir: the late Waymond Lee reunited with Craig Ng in the doorway of the laundromat, with D.Y. Sao following along and Waymond Lee doing absolutely none of what Craig Ng is conducting.

Lester and Kynan attempt to explain, evaluate, enlighten and elucidate the Academy Award-winning film, Everything Everywhere All At Once, minute by multiversal minute!
