I've been listening to it here and there over the last year. It's a good one.It’s an enjoyable podcast! I recommend it if you’ve got a lot of free time.
I believe @Bull Shannon is also a fan.

Next you're gonna tell me there's a cinephile podcast called "Dunston Checks In" by some Australian guy named Dunston.It’s an enjoyable podcast! I recommend it if you’ve got a lot of free time.

My last name starts with Mc, close enoughNow I need to find someone named Mac to start a podcast with me called "Mac and Me."
To be fair, the full title is Black Check with Griffin and David, presumably to avoid such confusion.Next you're gonna tell me there's a cinephile podcast called "Dunston Checks In" by some Australian guy named Dunston.
Thanks for reminding of Blank Check.To be fair, the full title is Black Check with Griffin and David, presumably to avoid such confusion.
I also hate you for reminding me that Dunston Checks In was a thing.
Apparently Faye Dunaway is in Dunston, and that is OFFENSIVETo be fair, the full title is Black Check with Griffin and David, presumably to avoid such confusion.

Who says there aren’t good roles for aging female actors in Hollywood?Apparently Faye Dunaway is in Dunston, and that is OFFENSIVE

I love it, @gouis abhors it. Balance in nature.I have been meaning to binge some of Bong Joon-Ho's films for a while. Like a lot of people, I watched Parasite (several times now) and loved it. Annoyingly they seem tricky to find, with some of the suggested ones not being on streaming platforms.
However, I did watch Okja last night. What a crazy film. I liked the premise (as bizarre as it is) and there's some fantastic scenes, but I didn't expect the harrowing nature of the later parts. It certainly wasn't a feel good ending either.
Has anyone else seen it, what did you think?
Yeah not into the pig rape and holocaust in what otherwise has the vibes of a children's movie. He has serious tone issues (also in The Host and Snowpiercer). Although I just picked up the new criterion Memories of Muder from the library so interested to see if Parasite was really the only one I'm that into.I have been meaning to binge some of Bong Joon-Ho's films for a while.

You oughta watch Mother. I think that, MoM and Parasite are his masterpieces.Yeah not into the pig rape and holocaust in what otherwise has the vibes of a children's movie.

I think when it boils down to it, Park Chan-Wook, Bong Joon-Ho and Lee Chang-Dong are the big three of the last 20 years. All great at their own thing.In general I prefer the work of Park Chan-wook if we're discussing Korean films. Handmaiden and Oldboy are unassailable
Strongly recommend The Host. Dude's had his own unique flare for years.I have been meaning to binge some of Bong Joon-Ho's films for a while.

Do you think that's a cultural thing? Korean TV is incredibly reserved, but their movies get pretty wild. I mean even Oldboy, as fantastic as a film as it is, hits on some incredibly fucked up themes. I know they remade it in the US, but I never saw that version.Yeah not into the pig rape and holocaust in what otherwise has the vibes of a children's movie.

I think it's just the two biggest South Korean directors that we're familiar with both have really idiosynchratic styles. I'm sure there are plenty of others that don't don't get as crazy as the last 20 minutes of Oldboy.Do you think that's a cultural thing?

I've noticed in some Japanese films, even light-hearted and comedic ones it can get really uncomfortably weird, too.
