This month on Sitting in the Dark, we go big: big monsters, big fear, and big systems that respond to catastrophe with the confidence of a guy who just Googled “what is monster” on his way into the meeting. Kynan, Chelsea Stardust, Tommy Metz III, and Pete Wright take on three modern giant-creature films—Bong Joon-ho's The Host (2006), André Øvredal's Troll Hunter (2010), and Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One (in its Minus Color presentation)—and find a weirdly consistent thread across wildly different cultures: when the giant thing shows up, the institutions mostly don't.The Host kicks things off with tonal whiplash as a feature, not a bug. The film's mix of grief, comedy, and political bite becomes its own kind of monster, and the conversation circles what Bong is really lampooning, what still lands, and what hits differently on a rewatch. The creature design gets its due too—full daylight, hard to pin down, impossible to “know”—but what lingers is the movie's sense that people become collateral long before anything with teeth arrives.Troll Hunter shifts the vibe without letting you off the hook. The group gets into the found-footage push-pull—shaky cam, “why are you still filming,” all that—then pretty quickly agrees that Hans, the deadpan troll hunter, is the secret weapon. The film's charm is how seriously it takes the ridiculous premise: folklore becomes logistics, mythology becomes fieldwork, and the jokes don't erase the danger. It's one of those movies that makes you laugh… then reminds you you'd die immediately.Godzilla Minus One brings it home with a version of Godzilla that's less “spectacle” and more “reckoning.” The group talks about the postwar setting, the human story at the center, why the black-and-white presentation changes the feel of the effects, and how this movie earns its impact through quiet scenes as much as destruction.Across all three films, the episode keeps returning to the same uncomfortable idea: these are blue-collar fights. The people who do anything meaningful aren't the polished experts. They're ordinary, exhausted, under-resourced, and improvising. Which might be the scariest part.Next month, Chelsea flips the table for her birthday picks with an ultra low-budget lineup: The Battery (2012), Hellbender (2021), and Starry Eyes (2014).
On this Triple Feature we're looking at three comic-adjacent films—projects either adapted from graphic novels or conceived in that visual language: Oblivion, Snowpiercer, and The Fountain—each exploring memory, identity, and survival inside closed systems.Oblivion, directed by Joseph Kosinski and based on his unpublished graphic novel, follows Jack Harper, a drone repair technician stationed on a post-apocalyptic Earth after a war with alien “Scavs.” As he services automated defense machines from a sleek sky tower, he begins recovering fragmented memories that contradict the official narrative. A crash survivor and a band of human rebels force him to confront the truth: he's a clone sustaining an AI-controlled occupation.Snowpiercer, directed by Bong Joon-ho and adapted from the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, is set aboard a perpetually moving train carrying the last survivors of a climate catastrophe. The rigid class hierarchy places the poor in the tail and elites in the front. Curtis leads a violent revolt through each car, exposing the brutal mechanics of engineered inequality.The Fountain, directed by Darren Aronofsky, interweaves three timelines—16th-century conquistador, modern scientist, and far-future space traveler—linked by a man's obsession with conquering death and saving the woman he loves. The film blends mysticism and science fiction into a meditation on mortality and acceptance.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
Entre dezenas de produções independentes do mundo inteiro, um filme brasileiro marca presença na competição do Slamdance Film Festival, que começa no próximo dia 19, em Los Angeles. É com a estreia mundial de “Antônio Odisseia” que o Brasil desembarca no evento conhecido por revelar grandes nomes do cinema como Sean Baker, Christopher Nolan e o sul-coreano Bong Joon-ho. O longa, dirigido pelo paranaense Thales Banzai, leva à tela uma jornada intensa, caótica, visceral e bem brasileira. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles Na história, Tony e sua melhor amiga, Ivy, assaltam o bar onde ele trabalha e roubam drogas que os levam a uma odisseia surrealista rumo a um encontro com Deus. O que começa como um roubo impulsivo rapidamente se transforma em uma jornada existencial, atravessada por delírio, espiritualidade e encontros inesperados. O cineasta Thales Banzai mora em Los Angeles desde 2020 e depois de anos tentando viabilizar projetos por editais e plataformas, decidiu apostar em uma produção completamente independente.“A gente financiou por conta da nossa produtora, a Seiva, que é a nossa coprodutora no Brasil, e produtores, amigos, próximos passaram o chapéu, todo mundo botou uma grana no filme porque acreditava no projeto e a gente resolveu fazer", diz. Filmado no fim de 2024, em São Paulo, em 17 dias, o roteiro foi desenvolvido ao lado de Kelson Succi, artista vindo do teatro e que também interpreta Antônio. Uma mistura de universos que ajudou a definir o tom do filme em uma produção toda em preto e branco. “Eu adoro trabalhar em preto e branco, fotografo em preto e branco faz muito tempo. Então é algo que consigo trabalhar nessa linguagem com facilidade e de que gosto muito. Dentro da nossa situação de produção, ajuda muito num filme de baixo orçamento, para a gente conseguir fazer, trazer mais valor de produção com menos, conseguir filmar mais rápido com poucos recursos de luz, criar uma situação expressiva interessante”, reitera. Além da trilha sonora (assinada por Kiko Dinucci e arranjo de cordas de Arthur Verocai) também ser peça central da narrativa, costurando realidade e delírio, o filme reúne participações especiais de Antônio Pitanga, Teuda Bara (que faleceu em dezembro), Leci Brandão e Chico César (narração). “O mais difícil foi chegar o roteiro no Pitanga, mas quando chegou, ele leu e curtiu muito. Foi a parte que também deu energia, colocou ainda mais energia. Ele falou que [o roteiro] lembrava dos personagens que fazia nos anos 1960 e 1970 e que estava animado", relembra. Festival alternativo Criado há mais de 30 anos como uma alternativa independente, o Slamdance aconteceu durante décadas simultaneamente ao Festival de Sundance em Park City, aproveitando a concentração de profissionais da indústria que já estavam na cidade nessa época do ano. Mas, a partir de 2025, o festival saiu de Utah e se estabeleceu em Los Angeles, marcando uma nova fase na capital do cinema. “Eu sinto que pra todo mundo com quem eu falo, e que está mais ligado na indústria, esse é um festival que todo mundo curte muito e admira muito, porque é feito com uma curadoria real. É um processo super democrático de pessoas que fazem filmes mesmo e que assistem a todos os filmes e debatem extensivamente o que deve entrar", diz Banzai. Para ele, o momento é propício ao cinema brasileiro, principalmente diante do sucesso de "Ainda Estou Aqui" e "Agente Secreto". “Acho que é algo que a gente pode começar a dar esses passos no Brasil, também, de sair só dos grandes cinco festivais, Cannes, Berlim, Toronto, Oscar e Veneza, e conseguir olhar para outros lugares, que são também super catalisadores de carreiras no mundo todo não só aqui”, diz Thales. Uma coprodução Brasil–Estados Unidos, “Antônio Odisseia”, chega a Los Angeles com apresentações nos dias 23 e 24 de fevereiro dentro da programação do Slamdance Film Festival.

Welcome back to the Hollywood Hangout, the show where we peel back the layers of cinema's biggest hits. This week, your hosts Boxman and Smark Whalberg are venturing into the rain-soaked streets and high-end architecture of Bong Joon-ho's 2019 sensation, Parasite.We're kicking things off with a full breakdown of the Kim family's masterclass in manipulation, tracking their journey from a cramped semi-basement to the heights of luxury. But we aren't just talking plot points; we're diving into the heart of the film's Korean cultural roots—from the social weight of the "semi-basement" lifestyle to the class warfare hidden in a simple bowl of noodles.Boxman and Smark also take time to celebrate the powerhouse performances that made this film an international juggernaut, discussing how the cast balanced dark comedy with bone-chilling tension.It's not just a thriller; it's a comedy until it's a tragedy, and then it's just... wowCheck us out on:Every Thursday at 9:30 PM EasternYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hollywoodhangoutpodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ymX0HRkWB45ja11B2I6fmApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/hollywood-hangout/id1132940251Castbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/4647345?country=usFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HollywoodHangout/
¿Cómo logró una industria pasar de la censura estatal a liderar la taquilla mundial y conquistar la Academia? En este segundo episodio de nuestra séptima temporada, diseccionamos el fenómeno del Nuevo Cine Coreano (1990-Presente).Analizamos el cambio de paradigma que ocurrió en la década de los 90, cuando la democratización del país y la inversión estratégica de los grandes grupos empresariales o Chaebols (como Samsung y CJ Entertainment) sentaron las bases para una explosión creativa sin precedentes.En este episodio, Paco Marín y Felipe Flores profundizan en:
In questo lavoro di Bong Joon-ho (Parasite), Robert Pattinson regala una delle sue migliori interpretazioni. Dimenticatevi il vampiro di Twilight: qui è Mickey 17, un “Sacrificabile”. Se nella saga tratta dai romanzi di Stephenie Meyer interpretava un immortale, infatti, qui muore in continuazione. E, ripetutamente, viene ristampato per una nuova missione. Fino a quando, per errore, si trova a convivere con la sua copia numero 18. Ma nella colonia umana in cui vive non sono ammessi duplicati...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of Pop Culture Confidential, Christina sits down with prize-winning production designer Fiona Crombie, whose work has shaped some of the most visually striking films of recent years. They talk in depth about Crombie's breathtaking production design for Chloé Zhao's Hamnet, starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley as William and Agnes Shakespeare. From intimate domestic spaces to the recreation of the legendary Globe Theatre, Crombie reveals how she brought emotion and lived-in detail into the spaces she designed Fiona Crombie was Oscar-nominated for her production design on Lanthimos The Favourite and has also collaborated with Bong Joon-ho (Mickey 17), Ari Aster (Beau Is Afraid), and many other acclaimed filmmakers. This conversation was recorded just after Jessie Buckley's Best Actress win at the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, and as Hamnet itself took home Best Picture Drama.

Forrest, Kristina Oakes, and Conan Neutron are joined by Sean McGrath, the other half of Unkind Rewind, to talk about Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder (2003)Starring Song Kang-ho, Park Hae-il, Kim Roi-ha, and Song Jae-ho Years before the more International Acclaim of Parasite and English Language films Snowpiercer and Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho's second film is probably his most culturally Korean. It's also his most brutally realistic, telling the story of the first modern South Korean Serial Killer, who at that time had not yet been caught, and the Police who hoped to bring him down during the transition to democracy. #memoriesofmurder #southkorea #bongjoonho #parasite #snowpiercer #koreancinema #songkang #songkangho #hwaseong #truecrimestories #truecrimecommunity #goldenglobes #thehost #crime #crimethriller #vertical #verticallive #verticallivefeed #verticallivestream #goldenglobes What we get, is a unique police procedural.

Today, they discuss Bong Joon-ho's ‘Parasite,' which features one of the greatest movie endings of all time.

Before Parasite made him a household name, Bong Joon-ho crafted a haunting masterpiece. Memories of Murder (released in 2003) tells the story of two detectives in 1980s rural South Korea hunting the country's first known serial killer...a case that would remain unsolved for over 30 years. Based on the true story of the Hwaseong serial murders, the film is a devastating exploration of incompetence, corruption, and misogyny. Join Lia & Megan as we revisit the muddy fields, cramped interrogation rooms, and that final iconic haunting shot. Note: We recorded this episode in early June right before Lia went to South Korea. This was before we began using video software so please note that component won't be included in this episode. Ready to download your first audiobook?

Before Parasite made Bong Joon-ho a household name, he delivered one of the most haunting detective stories of the 21st century. Memories of Murder follows a trio of detectives in 1980s South Korea as they chase a serial killer—and slowly unravel in the process.In this episode, Nathan digs into how the film blends procedural drama with social critique, why it feels so influential on works like Zodiac and True Detective and why that final scene still lands like a gut punch.Bleak, brilliant, and unforgettable—this is Bong Joon-ho at his best.Up next: Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man—a documentary as mesmerizing as it is unsettling.Read Nathan's thoughts on 'Memories of Murder'.Support the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/moviesarelife
This week's episode was a ride through everything from neighborhood drama to yogurt overlords, with plenty of science and sci-fi sprinkled along the way. Real Life Ben kicked things off with Five Nights at Freddy's—because apparently, jump scares are just how he likes to unwind. From there, he veered into a wild story involving a crossing guard, a flag man, and threats from a community member that had us questioning if this was real life or the start of a low-budget thriller. Devon had politics on his mind (as he often does), and let's just say it was… cathartic. Steven closed his section with a review of Mickey 17 (yes, the Bong Joon-ho movie starring Robert Pattinson), finally finishing Rick & Morty, and then going deep into the concept of an Alien Earth. Meanwhile, Ben reminded everyone to get your COVID booster while you still can. His advice? If you need to, just say you have asthma. “Who's gonna check?” he asked. (Don't tempt fate, Ben.) Future or Now Ben brought us back to his favorite corner of the internet: The Weird Wide Web. This time he found: A Pigeon Hadron Collider (yes, it exists), Computer shoes (also real, somehow), And a store that generates anything you type (Hacker News link here) Devon turned things more serious with some big Mars news. NASA's Perseverance rover collected a sample called Sapphire Canyon from an ancient riverbed, and it could preserve evidence of ancient microbial life. NASA's announcement and the coverage highlight the discovery's potential—though, as Devon pointed out, politicians are already trying to spin credit in ways that don't hold up. Steven brought us back to Earth (sort of) with the rise of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs. Harvard Health explains how they work, while a new RAND report, shows nearly 12% of Americans have already tried them. Effective? Yes. Side effects? Also yes. Book Club This week we read “When the Yogurt Took Over” by John Scalzi (link here), which you may know from its animated adaptation in Love, Death & Robots. Short, weird, and oddly plausible—because if dairy products do overthrow humanity, it's probably our fault. Next week: we're tackling Edward Bryant's “giANTS” (1979), which you can find here. Prepare yourself for some very big bugs. Devon also dropped some knowledge about Sean Carroll's The Particle at the End of the Universe, tying our sci-fi chat back to real physics. That's the roundup! Between pigeons smashing atoms, yogurt world domination, and Mars microbes, it was one of those episodes where the line between real science and sci-fi got blurry—and we loved every minute of it.
HORROR WITH SIR. STURDY EP. 565 – MONSTERS AMONG US: A HUNGRY NIGHTMARE IN SEOUL
The countdown begins! In this first episode of Reel 21, Nathan revisits Superbad—Greg Mottola's 2007 teen comedy that launched a thousand McLovin jokes—and asks: does it really deserve a spot on The New York Times' list of the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century?What starts out as a raunchy teen comedy reveals surprising layers of sweetness, friendship and emotional honesty. Nathan reflects on the film's legacy, standout performances from Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, and why Superbad might just be more essential than it gets credit for.Plus: Does the cop subplot still work? And what makes this movie actually hold up nearly two decades later?Next up: Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder—which Nathan's never seen.Read Nathan's thoughts on 'Superbad'.Support the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/moviesarelife
'Art is labour'. This is a statement from composer Jung Jae-il, the man behind the iconic scores to Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, Okja, and Mickey 17, the Netflix smash hit Squid Game, and Hirokazu Kore-eda's Broker, amongst other works. For Jung Jae-il, the art of composing a score is work.For Jung Jae-il, artists like Roxette, Metallica and Björk are notable influences on his work, with Pina Bausch's dancing leaving a lingering mark on his mind. It's these kinds of artists who influenced Jung Jae-il on his solo album, Listen, released in 2023.For Jung Jae-il, there is a clear delineation between art for the self and art for a job, and it's with his work on Parasite that the distinction is felt, while his passion for his album Listen shows an artist in harmony with his craft.These are just some of the things discussed in the above interview with Jung Jae-il, recorded ahead of his performance of the live score for Parasite at the 2025 Melbourne International Film Festival.Jung Jae-il participates in a conversation with Caitlin Yeo on 23 August at MIFF, with the composer performing a live score for Parasite on 23 August over two sessions at MIFF.

Welcome back to The Film Library, a Kanopy podcast where we dig into cinematic oddities, unforgettable characters, and genre gems that deserve a second look—no film degree required. This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film lover, movie marathoner, and lifelong believer that the truth is out there) face off in a genre showdown between monsters that crawl from the shadows and visitors from beyond the stars. Join them as they explore everything from creature features that wreak havoc on cities to alien tales that challenge our understanding of humanity, it's a battle of the bizarre. Kristy unleashes a trio of monster tales that span from gothic romance and grotesque transformations to a giant river-dwelling creature that terrorizes a city. Meanwhile, Jeff takes us on a journey through alien encounters, from low-budget splatterfests and existential comedies to a linguistically rich first-contact drama that asks what it really means to communicate. Whether you're into monster mayhem or visitors from beyond the stars, this episode is packed with thrills, chills, and a few laughs along the way. So grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and let the genre games begin. Follow Kristy on Instagram @thekristypuchko and Letterboxd @kristypuchko.

A couple of weeks back, the New York Times released an expansive project, with a focus on determining the best films released in the 21st century. Having polled 500 people in the film and entertainment industry, asking each person about their top 10 favorites, they released many of the topline results. In a separate ask to its readers, over 200,000 people contributed their ballots. Both lists included similar films, and notably held Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite as it’s consensus number 1 pick. This week on FilmWeek, Christy Lemire and Tim Cogshell stick with us to discuss their thoughts and reactions on the ‘best films of the 21st century’ lists. We’re also joined by New York Times pop culture reporter and awards season columnist, Kyle Buchanan, to discuss the New York Times’ project.

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!

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.
