Hey, and welcome Back to the A24 podcast.
There's nothing we love more than playing matchmaker with our friends.
For today's episode, we introduced After Yang director Kokonata to Japanese breakfast musician Michelle Zauner, whose name you might also recognize from her bestselling memoir, Crying in H Mart.
They've both been fans of each other's work for years, and it's still hard for us to believe they've never met before this conversation.
We hope you enjoy the episode.
If you haven't seen After Yang, it's available to watch now on Showtime.
Hi, I'm Kokonada.
I'm the director of After Yang.
Hi, my name is Michelle Zauner.
I play in Japanese breakfast, and I'm the author of Crying in Age Mark.
And this is the A24 podcast.
It's so funny.
I saw not long ago, and it made me really want to talk to you, and it's so silly, but it's.
You had written somewhere like a psa.
I'm Korean.
Oh, yeah.
And I feel like you must go.
Through that kind of, too.
Yeah.
And I feel that same thing, you know, and there being a moment where you're like, oh, God, everyone thinks I'm Japanese.
