Death to Smoochy (2002): Gochujang, Swords, and Sinister Puppets

This week on NAFC, Izzy kicks things off with his finest New Yorker impression and some definitely not sponsored thoughts on his recent cooking adventures with EveryPlate. Gochujang’s on the menu—and also maybe in the toilet. You’ve been warned.

K-Pop Demon Hunters is apparently getting a theatrical release (??), and none of us are emotionally prepared for that. Meanwhile, Mox finally gets to unload his full thoughts on Infinity Castle, and Gibbs somehow finds yet another War of the Worlds movie to love—because his taste in movies continues to be a mystery to us all.

Then it's time to dive into this week’s pick: Death to Smoochy (2002), where kids’ TV turns cutthroat, purple suits hide dark secrets, and Edward Norton gets way too into character.
