Oldboy (Episode 102) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

Please note that Hot Date 102 was recorded BEFORE the Covid-19 pandemic hit crisis levels. Our discussion of it reflects that moment in time.  We encourage all our listeners to follow the guidelines set forth by health officials about washing hands thoroughly and often, social distancing and staying home if you feel sick.  Safe and healthy listening everyone!

Based on a Japanese comic of the same name, Park Chan-wook's Oldboy is South Korean cinema at it's boldest, most visceral and most emotional.  Not for the faint of heart, it will nonetheless wrench it with it's story of vengeance and redemption.  Your Hot Date hosts Dan and Vicky discuss this superb film, starring Choi Min-sik, Yoo Ji-tae and Kang Hye-jung, and which Spike Lee remade with Josh Brolin in 2013. 

They also get into some recently seen films including Emma, Motherless Brooklyn, 1940's Rebecca, and The House that Jack Built and some fun TV, stand up and Broadway.   

Your hosts wanna throw some sunshine on dark times.  Listen to Hot Date 102: Oldboy and leave us some feedback.  Check out our website at hotdatepod.com.  Be well and support each other.
