To celebrate the release of Mickey 17, The Gimme Three Podcast is exploring the work of director Bong Joon-ho. Nicholas Ybarra and Bella Efstratis dissect some of his most potent and memorable Korean films and his auteurist visual language.
We start with the neo-noir, edge-of-your-seat thriller from 2003, Memories of Murder. Second, Bong uses a classic monster movie to explore the horror of environmental issues in The Host. Finally, we break down some of the most remarkable moments in Bong Joon-ho's Academy Award-winning picture, Parasite.Let us know what you think of these three modern classics and Bong’s latest release, Mickey 17.
