Join Pulp Men (and Woman) of the Year Griffin, David, Ben, and Marie as they discuss Park Chan Wook's latest offering, the silly and sublime No Other Choice. We're talking about paper, AI-proof jobs, the handsomeness of Lee Byung-hun, the possibility that Director Park is the Michael Jordan of dissolves, and the fact that this is likely Griffin's favorite film of 2025. Plus, David breaks down over the finale of Stranger Things, and we all apologize for a bunch of stuff. Read the Chevy Chase New York Times profile.

"No Other Choice," the latest film from director Park Chan-wook, follows a recently laid-off father and husband who resorts to violent means to eliminate the competition as he hopes to reenter the workforce. The film is up for the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy; Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy; and Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language. Park joins us.
South Korean director Park Chan-wook is considered one of living legends working today, known for his dark comedies inspired by film noir like his breakout hit Oldboy. His work also plays with shifting tones, like the paranoia and romance in the 2022 film Decision to Leave. Chan-wook’s newest film No Other Choice continues this pattern, melding the dark tone of a crime thriller with the slap-stick of a comical farce. The film stars Lee Byun-hun as a paper company employee who has just been laid off. Desperate to maintain his identity as a working man, he takes drastic measures to eliminate his competition in the job market. This time on FilmWeek, Larry Mantle speaks with director Park Chan-wook about his new film No Other Choice and how he decides what films to make at this stage in his career. Park Chan-wook is accompanied by his interpreter Jiwoon Lee. You can see No Other Choice in select theaters.

This week, we're diving into No Other Choice, the latest film from Park Chan-wook — a filmmaker known for twisting morality, obsession, and violence into something darkly hypnotic. In this episode, we explore the film's pitch-black sense of humor, razor-sharp tension, and the way Park once again traps his characters inside systems designed to break them. We'll talk themes, performances, and how No Other Choice fits alongside his past work, all without spoiling the film's turns.

In our first podcast of 2026, we're reflecting on 10 years of podcasting, the chaos of coming out of the holidays, and how routines change as you get older.We dive deep into No Other Choice, the Korean film generating major Oscar buzz — why going in blind made the experience better, how modern movie marketing overshares everything, and why word of mouth matters more than trailers in 2026.From there, the conversation expands into the death of the traditional movie star, the rise of directors as the real draw, how social media has reshaped fame, and why today's actors are promoted very differently than stars of the past.We also touch on AI, automation, job anxiety, Stranger Things, and throw out some bold (and questionable) predictions for the year ahead.This episode is a mix of film, culture, tech, and real-life reflection — exactly how we're starting 2026.

It's our final Breakfast All Day episode of 2025! And we have some great stuff and some not-so great stuff for you as we wrap up the year. All of these movies will be in theaters on Christmas Day: MARTY SUPREME. Timothée Chalamet gives an electrifying performance as a 1950s table tennis phenom. We both loved the film from writer and co-director Josh Safdie, which has the kind of kinetic, propulsive energy we've come to expect from the Safdie brothers as a whole. Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A'zion co-star. ANACONDA (2025). Our good friend William Bibbiani -- you know him as Bibbs -- has seen every single "Anaconda" movie. So he was the perfect person to help review this so-so reboot/remake/whatever you want to call it starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black as aspiring filmmakers in the Amazon. NO OTHER CHOICE. The great Korean director Park Chan-wook is back with another stylish and twisty thriller. "Squid Game" star Lee Byung-hun plays a middle manager who gets fired, then schemes to take out the competition for other jobs. Based on the Donald E. Westlake novel "The Ax." We loved it. Thank you so much for spending the year with us -- we're so grateful for our community. Keep an eye out for our best/worst lists at the start of January. Can't wait to see you in 2026!

Today's episode is a double-feature for design nerds. First, I'm sharing Production Designer Loo Sung He on Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice—in a first-ever translator format where I'm reading her responses. Then we switch to TV with my full audio interview on Overcompensating with Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. Film first, TV second—two deep dives, one episode.First, Production Designer Ryu Seong-hie (Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice) answers Kim Wannop's questions in a unique format: the interview was conducted through a translator, and Kim reads Ryu's translated responses on the show. Ryu breaks down how the film's spaces carry character and pressure—especially Man-su's home, built around a 1970s Korean “French House” ideal (mid-century suburban planning with French Provincial influence), plus the way greenery and color shift as the story darkens.Then the episode switches to TV with the full audio interview on Overcompensating featuring Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. They dive into building the show's visual language—tone, texture, location choices, and the practical realities of designing and decorating a world that feels specific, modern, and lived-in.If you love production design, set design, set decoration, art department craft, and behind-the-scenes filmmaking, follow Decorating Pages Podcast for more conversations with the creatives shaping what you see on screen.

We've got a little stocking stuffer for you here at Breakfast All Day. Lots of big movies coming out over the next couple of weeks, including "Avatar: Fire and Ash," which we reviewed on Tuesday. As for the weekend's other new releases, here's what we have for you: THE HOUSEMAID. Deliciously twisty trash starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, who definitely knew the assignment. Because this is a Paul Feig movie (based on a best-selling novel), the clothes and interiors are to die for. This is a non-spoiler review, because you deserve to enjoy all the wild surprises in store for you. In theaters. IS THIS THING ON? The third film from director Bradley Cooper is in a lower, more intimate key that we both really enjoyed. Will Arnett stars as a husband and father of two who works through his divorce by turning to stand-up comedy. Inspired by the true story of British comic John Bishop. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Our last one of the year, and there was so much to talk about: Rob Reiner, Oscar shortlists, the Academy Awards moving to YouTube in 2029, trailers for "Disclosure Day," "Digger" and the "Melania" documentary, and more. We look forward to resuming these with you in 2026. We'll have one more episode for 2025 on Tuesday, with reviews of "Marty Supreme," "Anaconda" and "No Other Choice."

This week everyone saw everything, so we start off with Park Chan-Wook's latest, the darkly comic thriller NO OTHER CHOICE (2:51), in which a 25-year veteran of a paper company is laid off and after a series of poor interviews, can't find another job. So he does the next logical thing: He decides to murder everyone in his field who may be more qualified than he is. Yikes! We all had our problems with this (it ain't THE HANDMAIDEN), but we did find things to like. But it seems we're outliers; NO OTHER CHOICE is getting critical raves but we all found it lukewarm for one reason or another. We follw up with Bradley Cooper's latest directorial effort, IS THIS THING ON? (28:44) Alex (Will Arnett, who's dynamite and also co-wrote the script) starts doing stand-up while sorting through the ditritus of his marriage. Tess (Laura Dern, who's dynamite) returns to her first (professional) love, and...things happen! (Sorry. It's 3 a.m.) Two of us really enjoyed this, and one of us did not. Over on Patreon, we talk about the 1985 Martin Scorsese comedy AFTER HOURS.

In this Prof Responds episode of Critical Magic Theory, Professor Julian Wamble returns to Harry Potter to engage listeners' reflections on Albus Dumbledore. Rather than asking whether Voldemort had to be defeated, this episode interrogates how necessity becomes moral justification, why “not a villain” is not the same as “good,” and what responsibility adults bear when children are asked to fight a war they did not choose. Through questions of prophecy, hindsight, and power, Prof Responds examines whether Dumbledore's choices were truly constrained—or whether “no other choice” narratives obscure avoidable harm and institutional failure. The episode ultimately shifts the focus away from hero-versus-villain debates and toward harm, accountability, and the moral residue left behind in the Harry Potter universe after the war is won.
From nostalgic classics like 'Broadcast News' and 'Moonstruck' to the latest releases such as 'Jay Kelly' and 'No Other Choice,' we offer insightful commentary on performances, direction, and cinematography. We talk about Adam Sandler's standout role in Jay Kelly, the artistry of Park Chan-wook, and the moving portrayals in 'Train Dreams.'

"No Other Choice" is a 2025 South Korean satirical black comedy thriller film co-written, produced, and directed by Park Chan-wook and based on "The Ax" by Donald Westlake. The film stars Lee Byung-hun as a desperate paper industry expert who decides to kill his competitors to secure the job he seeks and maintain his way of life. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, where it received universal critical acclaim for its writing, direction, editing and lead performance from Lee Byung-hun. At the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, it was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (Lee Byung-hun). It was also selected as South Korea's entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. Park Chan-wook and Lee Byung-hun were kind enough to spend some time talking with Giovanni Lago about their work and experiences making the film, followed by Dan Bayer's conversation with the film's editors Kim Sang-bum and Kim Ho-bin, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in limited release on December 25th and nationwide this January from NEON. Thank you, and enjoy!

Lee Byung-Hun joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to dive into the raw, gripping layers of No Other Choice — a tense character study where fear, pride, and desperation collide as one man spirals after losing the career that defined him.Lee opens up about the emotionally charged physicality behind his performance as Man-su — the shaking hands, the subtle gestures, and the nervous tics that make the character feel painfully real. He explains how those moments emerged from a blend of what was scripted, new direction from Park Chan-wook on set, and the emotions that surfaced naturally in the middle of each scene.He also reflects on the global rise of Korean cinema, sharing why audiences around the world connect so deeply with these stories. According to Lee, it's the universality of the themes paired with the unpredictability of Korean storytelling — a combination that keeps viewers hooked no matter where they're from.No Other Choice releases in theaters on December 25.Visit Nerdtropolis.comFacebookInstagramTwitter
