Author Edward Ashton (MICKEY7, ANTIMATTER BLUES) joins the show to reflect on having his work adapted by director Bong Joon-Ho into the 2025 film “Mickey 17.” In episode 346, Luke Elliott & James Bailey add to their “Creative Conversations” series where they discuss adaptations previously covered with someone directly involved in their creation. Topics include the origins of the Mickey7, why Ed would never use a teleporter, how his cancer research and scientific background influences his writing, the one thing Bong Joon-Ho told him to take from the set, his interpretation of Mickey's final vision in the film, and which books of his he could see being adapted in the future.

Evan and David review Bong Joon Ho's latest film, Mickey 17 (2025), untangling Mickey's multiple personalities as well as the film's various political, religious, and environmental ideas. 

Director Bong Joon Ho returns to Anglophone cinema with the satirical sci-fi Black comedy Mickey 17. Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey, a down-on-his-luck earthling who tries to escape his trouble by signing up for a space voyage as an "expendable", i.e., a person who can die over and over again because they have his data on file. So, what does this tonally peculiar film have to say about the world we live in today?If you think Projector Pod is the kind of thing you'd like to support, you can find our Patreon here. 

El día de hoy analizamos la reciente última pelicula al momento del director Bong Joon-ho protagonizada por Robert Pattinson, la cuál dividió a la crítica pero aquí queremos saber que opinas tu. ¿Merecía ser rechazada como lo fué?

This week we discuss Bong Joon Ho's 2003 neo-noir crime thriller dark comedy which is based on a real story. In this episode we compare Bong Joon Ho and Quentin Tarantino, and talk about how this film compares to Bong Joon Ho's other masterpiece, Parasite.Listen until the end for some TV shows we're watching these days.Spoiler Alert: Every episode contains spoilers.

With his new Robert Pattinson-starring Mickey 17, Korean director Bong Joon Ho displays his knack for blending genres and entertainingly covering sociopolitical and interpersonal themes. Mucci thinks he hasn't done that better than Okja, an adventure-thriller-heist-comedy with strong animal welfare themes. Lando, on the other hand, advocates for the dark and dreary serial killer mystery that is Memories of Murder, with strong characterizations and inspiration from real-life horrors. And when we take a Recess, Judge Huy says No Caps in Court as he quizzes Lando and Mucci with true/false questions about their respective films. OTR Theme by Lando and Mucci.

On this week's The Legendary Ladies Podcast, Amy and Morgan eagerly sat down to watch Bong Joon Ho's film, Mickey 17. But...did they just as eagerly sit down to discuss it? Unfortunately, that wasn't necessarily the case as the hosts work to break down why Mickey 17 didn't just do it for them. They discussed the overwhelming amount of social commentary -- not in its essential nature, or even its essence -- but in the sheer number of bullet points. While it fits the commentary on a world (*cough* currently *cough*) oversaturated with social and political challenges, when introduced congruently with the new and unique technology that is the cornerstone of Mickey 17's titular plot point, did the bloated nature of the film's various storylines detract from the one we might have been most interested in? And, without getting too far ahead of ourselves, can we ask...what was Kai there for? No, seriously, we're asking. All in all, the hosts sit down for a rather unexpectedly productive discussion as they try to figure out if Robert Pattinson's superb acting was enough to keep their interest during the [over] 2 hour film.

Kogonada. Ever heard of him? The South Korean-born American filmmaker began to get attention for his video essays that analyzed themes and motifs from various films and television series before launching as a writer/director with the film we are covering this week, Columbus (2017).The movie follows two people who are at a place in their lives where they need to make important decisions related to their family and their future. Jin (John Cho), the son of a renowned architect, comes to Columbus to see his father when he falls ill but is unsure how long he wants to stay and look after him. When he arrives in Columbus (Indiana) he meets and befriends Casey (Haley Lu Richardson), a young woman who is passionate about architecture but hesitant to leave Columbus to pursue her next steps because she feels compelled to stay and be there for her mother who is dealing with addiction issues. It's a beautiful film about space and structures, passion, familial responsibility, and how the relationships we have push us to be the best version of ourselves we can be.Joining us this week are Kogonada enthusiasts and long time podcasters Jen & Sarah from the Movies & Us and TV & Us podcasts!

This week, Daniel and Gavin dissect Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17, using Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital to examine who gets to be seen as an “auteur” in the public imagination — and who doesn't. We explore how race, class, and symbolic capital shape legitimacy in the film world, questioning why specific creators are celebrated as geniuses while others are sidelined, regardless of the quality of their work.Through Bourdieu's lens, we look at the cinematic “field” as a battleground, where recognition isn't just about talent — it's about access to networks, education, prestige, and whiteness as an unspoken default. Mickey 17 becomes a springboard for unpacking how cultural power is produced and maintained in the West and how directors like Bong Joon Ho disrupt those norms — even while subtly reabsorbed into them.

We can't believe it's finally here! After much anticipation, we finally have creepers on screen, A Minecraft Movie, starring Jason Mamoa and Jack Black is easily the movie blockbuster release of the year— wait wait waitSorry, this is actually about the Robert Pattinson starring movie in which he plays the dual roles of Bruce Wayne / The Batman— wait wait waitSorry, this episode is about the other big Robert Pattinson blockbuster Mickey 17. We return for another hit of the Bong (Joon Ho) but some of us are not vibing! Ben and Eli take turns using the film, the script, the cinematography, and the direction as punching bags. Wilson is left to fight for his life (and the lives of Mickey 1-18).

Listen. This is one of those episodes where the title is misleading. Is it about the new Bong Joon Ho movie Mickey 17? Kind of.

The new film “The Ballad of Wallis Island” tells the story of Charles, an eccentric lottery winner who uses his money to hold a private concert on the remote Welsh island where he lives. The band he hires is his favourite group of all time: the fictional folk rock duo McGwyer Mortimer. The only problem is they haven't spoken in years — and the concert is just for Charles. British poet and comedian Tim Key stars as Charles and co-wrote the movie, which is based on a short film he made in 2007. He joins Tom Power to talk about the project and why it took 18 years to turn his short into a feature. Plus, he reveals how he persuaded Hollywood A-lister Carey Mulligan to get on board. If you like this conversation, listen to Tom's interview with director Bong Joon Ho on “Mickey 17.”

This is the audio version of our breakdown of Mickey 17, where things get cloned, chaotic, and comical. For the full visual experience, catch the video on YouTube. In this episode of the TruVue Podcast, we go deep into Bong Joon Ho's sci-fi mind trip Mickey 17, where being disposable is just part of the job. Starring Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, an “Expendable” in a colonization mission to the icy planet Niflheim, this clone gets brought back to life every time he dies. But what happens when the new version meets the old? Spoiler alert: it's a corporate Kinko's nightmare with identity issues. We break down what it means to be duplicated, discarded, and still expected to perform. From clone ethics to class systems in space, we ask all the wrong questions and make all the right jokes. This ain't just sci-fi—it's about the workplace hustle on intergalactic steroids.

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.'

On today's episode of Final Cut, Walter Fedczuk and Chase Wassenar do a quick check-in on the opening week of the MLB season before taking a look at Bong Joon Ho's first film since Parasite, Mickey 17. Together, they discuss how the film targets Western audiences for better and for worse, the strength of the film's acting performances, and how its politics dramatically split our co-hosts' opinion on the film.Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rough Drafts Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on BlueSky.

In this episode, author Edward Ashton joins me to discuss the film Mickey 17, directed by Bong Joon Ho, based on Edward's book Mickey 7. The film and the book series explores themes of unfettered capitalism, whether or not people have souls, and the theoretical possibilities of colonizing other planets. In an earlier episode, I interviewed Edward Ashton about his book Mickey 7 and the sequel Antimatter Blues. At the time he had told me that Brad Pitt had picked up the rights to his film for Warner Brothers starring Robert Pattinson in the title role and costarring Toni Collete, Naomi Ackie, and Mark Ruffalo. Now that Edward is free from the NDAs he had signed during filming, we are able to discuss the exciting process of seeing his book turned into a new creative work.

Steffan and Gavia review Mickey 17, the new sci-fi comedy from filmmaker Bong Joon Ho (Parasite). Robert Pattinson stars as a man who signs up for a years-long space voyage, agreeing to a grueling contract where his body can be killed and resurrected again and again. Echoing Bong's work on films like Snowpiercer and Okja, this provides the basis for a bleak yet absurd anti-capitalist satire.

Bong Joon Ho's new MICKEY 17 takes a lot of big swings, from star Robert Pattinson's vocal affectation to a comedic fixation on “sauce,” all of it in service of big, bold, arguably blunt satire. It all makes for a somewhat messy but highly discussable film, both on its own and in conversation with Paul Verhoeven's STARSHIP TROOPERS, another big swing of a sci-fi satire that aims to entertain as it undermines propagandistic societies where leaders rule by catchphrase, where citizenship is conditional, and where working-class lives are expendable. We dive into all of that, plus space bugs that may not actually be bugs, then offer a Your Next Picture Show recommendation for another MICKEY 17 pairing contender, Duncan Jones' MOON.

This week's pairing is brought to you by: space bugs! Specifically, space bugs as a metaphor for a fascistic society's disregard for any perceived-to-be-lower life form, human or otherwise. Inspired by the clear satire of Bong Joon Ho's new MICKEY 17, we're revisiting Paul Verhoeven's STARSHIP TROOPERS, whose satirical intent was less clear to some audiences when it hit theaters in 1997. Today, while we're on the same page as far as what Verhoeven was going for with his propagandistic display of military might, opinions still differ among our panel as to how well he pulled it off. We get into that disagreement, as well as the surprisingly enduring effects and the improbability of a film like this being made in Hollywood today. Then in Feedback, a listener inspired by a recent pairing shares their reaction to a first-time viewing of THE KILLING FIELDS.  Please share your thoughts about STARSHIP TROOPERS, MICKEY 17, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

After a brief discussion of the A24-inflected ‘Thunderbolts*' trailer that dropped over the weekend (0:45), Sean and Amanda dive into Bong Joon-ho's eighth feature film, ‘Mickey 17' (4:15).

The 1970s band The New York Dolls made only two studio albums, but the group was hugely influential, setting the stage for punk rock. We listen back to Terry Gross' 2004 interview with the band's co-founder David Johansen, who died last week. The group was described as flashy, trashy and drag queens — but Johansen didn't care. He later went on to perform under the persona of the pompadoured lounge singer Buster Poindexter. Also, film critic Justin Chang reviews Mickey 17, a futuristic action-comedy by Parasite director, Bong Joon Ho.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Mickey 17 is writer-director Bong Joon Ho's follow-up to the Oscar-winning film Parasite. In the sharply satirical sci-fi film, Robert Pattinson is a manual laborer on a spaceship who just keeps dying. But then he gets reprinted – his memories get downloaded into a new body. What could go wrong? The film also stars Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, and Naomi Ackie.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopculture.To access bonus episodes and sponsor-free listening for Pop Culture Happy Hour, subscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour+ at plus.npr.org/happy.

We saw a ton of recognizable, and established, actors stop by Boy Meets World as a guest star through the first 5 seasons of the show - but it’s possible none were as interesting, and inspiring, as this week’s guest. In addition to playing “Jump Master” in the newly G.O.A.T.’d Season 5 episode, “Raging Cory,” this familiar face has worked with Spike Lee, Bong Joon Ho, Wes Anderson and the Coen Bros., where he stole one of the most intensely dramatic (and funny?) scenes in film history. Oh, and did we mention he was a cast member on In Living Color? He’s legendary, internally evolved and a pioneer when it comes to racial equality and standing up for what you believe in. Even when it’s hard to do. This week on Pod Meets World - it’s Stephen Park!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
