About this listen

Junko and Ben kick off 2026 by breaking down one of the year’s most intriguing new thrillers, “The Copenhagen Test.” They unpack the show’s high-concept premise, its unnerving relevance to our current moment, and what it means to see Simu Liu leading a modern espionage series as Alexander Hale.

Then, in a true dream-guest moment, Simu Liu himself joins the conversation to talk about stepping into the role, shaping Alexander’s identity, and why the series resonated so deeply with him. Along the way, Junko and Ben dig into representation, binge culture versus weekly releases, the evolving realities of Hollywood marketing, and what awards season conversations reveal about where the industry is headed.

From personal reflections to big-picture industry insights, this episode sets the tone for the year ahead and why “The Copenhagen Test” is worth your attention.
