CW: suicide, sexual abuse, child abuse, partner abuse, homicide, gore, and other dark themes. We loved watching Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden - if you haven't seen it, definitely watch before listening to this! We cover this film part by part, talking about everything from sex scene, to sex scene, to sex scene. Oops!
Weep and You Weep Alone - Park Chan-wook & Spike Lee's Oldboy (2003/2013) On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I sit down to discuss a film that did much to establish South Korea as a major force in International Filmmaking, Park Chan-wook's 2003 paranoia-riddled Oldboy. One of the earliest films to establish South Korea cinema, Oldboy has only grown in it's importance. Park's look at a man who is imprisoned for 15 years without any knowledge of his crime or who he has wronged takes elements of Hitchcock and reinvents them into a modern and disturbing story. With the financial and critical success of Park's film, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood would attempt a re-imagining. For years Spike Lee's 2013 take on the material would be derided, however it is the opinion of these two critics that Lee (although not completely successful) has made an interesting and challenging film that is not entirely deserving of the criticism that has been heaped on it. Take a listen and formulate your own opinion. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Our Continued Thanks.

James Ransone doesn’t like to talk about himself. He also doesn’t like to talk about acting. This might have been a disastrous interview except that his expressed frustration at having to speak about these things actually spawned an interesting and raw conversation about acting. I first noticed Ransone in the role of Ziggy in Season 2 of “The Wire.” He went on to star in the HBO miniseries “Generation Kill,” and in movies like “Sinister,” “Tangerine” and Spike Lee's “Oldboy” remake. This year he played an astronaut in Hulu's “The First” and he's now shooting “IT Chapter 2.” His direct, non-filtered responses to my questions (some of which he downright rejects) are bound to give you lots to ponder about this elusive and wondrous endeavor, and, if you're like me, leave you wanting to hear more from Mr. Ransone.
This episode: Bryn marvels at Inhumans. We're stoked for Awesome Mix Vol. 2. Rob Liefeld can't draw. Marshall revisits Deadpool. Josh sat through Zoolander 2. We like Tom Cruise (and Tom Crooze). There's more JJ mystery in 10 Cloverfield Lane. Everyone but Josh spoils the hell out of Firewatch from 59:48 to 1:21:00. We had a blast discussing this stuff and hope you enjoy listening!

With Mark Lawson. The RSC's stage adaptations of Hilary Mantel's bestselling novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies are currently in rehearsal before their sell-out run in Stratford-upon-Avon.
