Ep 209: “The Host” (Bong Joon Ho, 2006)

October 11, 2022

We slip ‘n fall into Bong Joon Ho’s “The Host” and discuss:


  • Monster origin story;
  • Everyone’s a moron;
  • Directing and editing, match cuts;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.

We need to tell each other our stories. We need to show that everyone — our neighbors, our families, our community leaders — everyone we know is touched by corruption. – Jennifer Lawrence
