TANSTAAFL: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch


As we get back on track with our episode counts, we discover the downside of capitalism, specifically that there are people who need to take advantages of cracks in the system to get along.


In the first half of our episode we take a peek at SHOPLIFTERS, from 2018 and directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. It's a look at a very unusual family in Tokyo and the steps they take to keep themselves together.


In Part 2 we jump to Korea and look at PARASITE, from a year later.
