In this episode of Nerd Legion, hosts Monte and DoA take a break from their 1980s fantasy marathon to discuss 'Mickey 17,' director Bong Joon Ho's latest science fiction film. They first delve into the movie's box office struggles and introduce Bong Joon-ho's history, noting his thematic blend of class conflict, environmentalism, and existentialism. The hosts critique the film for its rich moments of subtle humor and innovative concepts but argue it becomes unfocused in the second half, shifting from existential questions to heavy-handed political themes. They analyze Robert Pattinson's standout dual role performance, along with contributions from other notable actors like Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette. The episode wraps with reflections on Bong Joon Ho's recurring themes and a funny personal anecdote about South Korea's macaron shop craze, highlighted within the film. They conclude that while 'Mickey 17' is visually appealing and entertaining, it doesn't reach the same profound levels as the director's previous works like 'Parasite' or 'Memories of Murder.'

MOVIE MIKE'S MOVIE PODCAST: Mike shares his favorite ‘mid’ movies that he thinks would fail today. He chooses movies that are nostalgic, cult classics but didn’t perform well at the box office and found success with physical media sales and rentals. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Mickey 17 starring Robert Pattinson. It’s a sci-fi comedy about an "expendable" who goes on a dangerous journey to colonize an ice planet directed by Bong Joon-ho who also did Parasite. Mike talks about how underrated Robert Pattison is as a character actor, how the movie was no. 1 but still has a long way to go to make money and where it ranks on his Top 5 Bong Joon-ho movies. In the Trailer Park, Mike shares his thoughts on Death of a Unicorn starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega. They play a father and daughter who accidentally hit and kill a unicorn with their car, and his boss tries to exploit the creature's miraculous curative properties. New Episodes Every Monday!

It's been six long years since the last Bong Joon-ho film, Parasite, swept through the 2020 Oscars, including the prize of Best Picture. A beloved filmmaker that has brought us both intimate, grounded thrillers as well as propulsive genre yarn, Bong Joon-ho is once again dipping his toe into sci-fi class warfare with Mickey 17. Featuring Robert Pattinson in multiple roles and another "freaky little guy" routine, does Mickey 17 continue the South Korean director's streak of bracing storytelling?

Jeff and Phil welcome veteran actor Stephen Park, who discusses his iconic roles in projects like Do the Right Thing, Fargo, and In Living Color; the racist incident on the set of Friends that inspired his viral 1997 mission statement on Asian American representation in Hollywood; the ongoing challenges he's faced as a person of color in the industry; and a reconciliation of sorts with his own Korean identity, thanks to working with cool directors like Bong Joon-ho. Also: the unintended complexities of being known as Steve versus Stephen.

Send us a textMickey 17 marks Bong Joon-ho's triumphant return to filmmaking following his historic Oscar sweep with Parasite. The film stars Robert Pattinson as an "expendable" – a human clone repeatedly sent on dangerous missions with his consciousness transferred to a new body after each death. When two versions of Mickey unexpectedly exist simultaneously, the story transforms into something far more complex than its sci-fi premise suggests.What surprised me most about Mickey 17 was its comedic tone. Rather than the tense thriller the early teasers suggested, Bong delivers a surprisingly daffy, slapstick comedy reminiscent of silent film greats. Pattinson commits fully to this goofier register, creating a character both vulnerable and resilient. Mark Ruffalo shines as a fictitious failed politician leading the colony, channeling elements of current political figures with remarkable precision despite denying any intentional parallels.The film continues Bong's exploration of class struggle, environmental concerns, and corporate critique – themes present throughout his filmography. However, Mickey 17's narrative structure relies heavily on narration and flashbacks, departing from the linear storytelling that made his previous works so effective. This structural change, combined with ambitious world-building, creates a film that feels occasionally unfocused compared to the tight construction of Parasite or Memories of Murder.Watching Mickey 17 prompted a complete reexamination of Bong's career, from his debut Barking Dogs Never Bite to his Oscar-winning Parasite. What emerges is a portrait of a filmmaker whose remarkable consistency places him among cinema's contemporary masters. Even when experimenting with new genres or techniques, Bong maintains a distinct voice that seamlessly blends social commentary with genre entertainment. While Mickey 17 may not reach the heights of his greatest achievements, it demonstrates his continued willingness to take creative risks while delivering thought-provoking cinema that challenges and entertains in equal measure.Support the show

Kelsi and Trey dive into Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho's most ambitious but messiest film yet—a sci-fi satire packed with class commentary, genre chaos, and existential dread, but also plagued by tonal inconsistency, underdeveloped themes, and what maybe feels like studio interference. We break down the good (Robert Pattinson's delightfully weird dual performance, the darkly hilarious death montage, and some great satire on labor exploitation), the bad (a scattered third act, underbaked supporting characters like Naomi Ackie's Nasha and Steven Yeun's Timo, and an underwhelming visual style), and the frustrating (a possible scrapped twist about Mark Ruffalo's character, weird pacing issues, and the sense that Warner Bros. meddled with the final cut). Plus, we discuss why the Hunger Games-style YA dystopian vibe isn't necessarily a bad thing, and how ironic it is that people are mad a movie about corporate exploitation lost a corporate giant millions of dollars.The Extra Credits YouTube ChannelBecome a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon hereHow to link Patreon to Spotify and AppleLetterboxd: The Extra CreditsTikTok: The Extra CreditsReddit: r/TheExtraCreditsInstagram: @theextracreditsTwitter: @theextracreditsSend requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com
