Oldboy

It's just Andy and JB this time-- two old boys talking about Oldboy. Expanding the horizons of our understanding. Are the Koreans ok? The American myth that violence can fix anything. How do you live post vengeance? Does Dae-su have any agency? The use of mirrors as a visual motif. Park pulling from Hitchcock. What we would have liked from the Spike Lee remake. Could a female director fix this movie? Giving female characters any agency at all. Calling out mid-2000s movie sites who hyped this movie (whose people ended up being total creeps and sex pests) obviously liked the wrong aspects of this movie. In a hyper capitalist system, who are the gods?  The Bechdel Cast episode on Sorry to Bother You. The most recent episode of Yours, Mine, and Theirs where they talk about our format and their format.

Next week is Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and there will be more women, both in the movie and on the podcast episode, we promise! Women with actual agency? Amazing if true. Find out!
