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.

No Other Choice is a new bleak comedy about a man (Lee Byung-hun) at a crossroads. After losing his job at a paper company, he resorts to desperate, unhinged measures to get a new job. He tracks down the other candidates and eliminates the competition, one by one. Directed by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden), it's filled with great performances and truly masterful action set pieces.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

“There's no such thing as steps,” and “they were two peas in a pod.” These are statements made by Anna Kepner's grandparents who were with her on the cruise when she died. Her body was found under the mattress and her cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation. Which is what makes this comment particularly odd to some netizens...because Anna's grandparents are referring to her relationship with her 16 year old step brother. The very step brother who was the only other person in the room around the estimated time of death. The very step brother who is now a suspect in Anna's murder. They are not the only suspicious adults in this case though. Anna's biological father and her step mother, the mother of the 16 yo step brother, who were also on the cruise with the family were seen over a month after Anna's murder, walking from court, their faces completely blank yet gripping each other's hands.Anna's father has just lost his daughter yet he seemingly appears closer than ever to his wife and the mother of the murder suspect.    This is part two of the Anna Kepner cruise ship murder. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

7 Year Old Boy Wearing Makeup and Fingernails Dances During WNBA Halftime show

Vanuit een foodtruck veroverden Pavan Bajwa en Tim Van Den Heuvel elk festivalin ons land. Indische smaken van de hand van Pavan, een foodtruck die een vibe is en meteen opvalt door zijn kleurrijk uiterlijk en dat werd later herhaald en vertaalt in ondertussen 4 restaurants in Antwerpen, Brussel en Gent; een ghost kitchen en gevierd met talrijke awards: van hospitality tot design en veel meer. Pavan mocht aantreden als gastchef in Masterchef, collabs met Old Boy waren superpopulair en binnenkort zijn Pavan en Tim officieel auteur met hun eerste kookboek: Mission Masala: Eat India. Hoog tijd voor een kruidig gesprek over curry, masala en heel veel meer!Meer info over Mission Masala vind je hier:▸ https://missionmasala.be/▸ https://www.instagram.com/missionmasala_bombaybbq/▸ https://www.facebook.com/missionmasala/▸ https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/s/?searchtext=mission+masalaHonger naar meer?

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on the killing of an 11-year old Palestinian boy by the Israeli military in the West Bank.

Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?" This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. This week, thanks to his son, Logan, Corey chose Oldboy (2003), the critically-acclaimed South Korean film by Park Chan-wook. Folks, this may be the first time that Paul and Corey dreaded going into an episode recording. They HATED this. It was a completely surprising experience for both, and check out the episode to see if you agree!

Reports from Assin Breku indicate that a man identified as Asuo has been lynched by an angry mob after allegedly beheading a 9-year-old boy. The police have launched an investigation into both the murder of the child and the mob action that followed.

Mark and Aaron Neuwirth (@AaronsPS4 on X) draft their favorite scenes from 2003 action movies. In this episode, you'll hear them talk about the neat action scenes in Matrix Reloaded, Oldboy, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Bad Boys 2, Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, Kill Bill, and many more cool action movies.

Mercedes Bryce Morgan unpacks the whirlwind making of Bone Lake, an 18-day Atlanta shoot that battled storms, injuries, and lost gear before completing its night-boat climax on a Los Angeles soundstage. After a Fantastic Fest premiere and Deadline-breaking international sales, the erotic survival thriller heads to U.S. theaters with buzzy audience reactions and a proudly “fun, commercial, popcorn” spirit.Mercedes traces her path from mini DV Star Wars shorts and USC to festival features, describing her taste as a mix of Oldboy's devastation and Amélie's heart. Other past influences include Barbarians, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The House of Yes, Funny Games, and The One I Love. Her TIFF-premiering Fixation (2022) sparked her love for erotic thrillers.On craft, she argues the best twists are guessable seconds before they land, and test screenings help her fine-tune which parts of the mystery viewers might sense without solving it too soon. Her advice to young filmmakers: embrace constraints as boot camp, stick with collaborators who love the work, design for the audience experience, and make sure you enjoy the day-to-day… because the process is the life.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

This week we review Highest 2 Lowest, Spike Lee's brazen remake of the 1963 black and white Akira Kurosawa classic, High and Low. A divisive movie with its own modern mind apart from its predecessor, Highest 2 Lowest split audiences at Cannes this year and has now split us on the podcast as well. Akira Kurosawa at the height of his power or Spike Lee's late style curio? We talk about aging masters, baffling scores, and Lee's storied oeuvre as a whole.

Dr. Carol Anderson is the Robert W. Woodruff Professor of African American Studies at Emory University. She is the author of several books including the New York Times bestseller White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, and One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying Our Democracy. Her most recent book is The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America. Dr. Anderson has appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, PBS NewsHour, ​The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and Democracy Now!. She has also been featured in the Huffington Post, The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Anderson explains how white rage, the color line, gun culture, and gun violence are knotted together in American history and life. She details how the Black Freedom Struggle -- and Black Americans' claims on their fundamental Constitutional rights, civil rights, and human freedom, including the inherent right of self-defense -- are often viewed as an existential threat by White America. This is especially true in the Age of Trump. Dr. Anderson also warns that America will never be able to end its epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings as long as gun ownership remains intimately connected to whiteness, white masculinity, and a fear of Black people and other non-whites as seen with “stand your ground laws” and other forms of State violence. Chauncey DeVega shares an update about his absence and how he has been experiencing his own version of the iconic hammer fight from Park Chan-wook's film Old Boy. In that context, Chauncey reflects on how America's collapse into mass disinhibition and authoritarianism has greatly accelerated because of last week's horrific events in Utah. And Chauncey goes for a walk around his neighborhood and shares some of the amazing, wondrous, and disturbing things he encountered. This includes offering pastoral care to an honored elder who hit a woman with his truck, and learning some life wisdom from a man who is dying from prostate cancer. This street prophet -- who had a plastic catheter that was visible outside of his pants -- was warning all the young men outside the local drug store to get their annual physicals or they could end up dying a painful death like him. This week's conversation with Carol Anderson is from the archives of The Chauncey DeVega Show and was recorded in July of 2021. I was saving it for an extreme crisis moment such as the one we "the Americans" are experiencing right now. This conversation is eerily and frighteningly prescient and timely.  WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?
