Judy Jean Kwon — actress, comedian, director, producer, editor, and even mother — is the mastermind behind “MILFriend,” a web series parodying motherhood on Venice Beach. The series follows Pepper (played by Kwon herself), a contrarian middle-aged woman. As she navigates her contemporary social circles, however, she has to duck and dodge the ridiculous extremes of Karen-world: one where pregnant yoga sessions, hip coffee shops, and literal clownery weave themselves into the everyday routine of gentrification. “MILFriend” walks the fine line of, well, all the fine lines; like a Foucault-ian heterotopia, pokes fun at the socioeconomic complexities encroaching upon what once used to be home.
We “sit down” with Kwon over Zoom to pick up the behind-the-scenes scoop on “MILFriend.” We end up dipping our feet in the talk of the times, from identity politics to gentrification to online streaming. You can view the full series here.
Let’s start with the basics.
