On today’s episode I’m joined by James Hillmer, a researcher and PHD student in Korean history and host of the stand up comedy based podcast Don’t Sit in the Front.

James and I have common ground, having both lived in South Korea and even ran in the same social circles there, so I knew I had to use his expertise and tackle a Korean horror - we chose Na Hong-jin’s 2015 bleak and bloody The Wailing. Join James and I as we discuss shamanism, Squid Game and so much more.
