Asian A.V. Club: What to Watch podcast (ep 4)


Listen Later

It's another new episode of the Asian A.V. Club: What to Watch pod and this time we drag in one of our favorite journalists Didier Allouch, who has been the LA correspondent for the Canal+ network for a hot second and our fave buddy to talk all things horror genre with.

Lucky for him we have a few titles that fall under this category in this seriously packed episode!

We kick off our movie section with the emotional doc of the late singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley. Directed by the award winning Amy Berg, IT'S NEVER OVER: JEFF BUCKLEY breaks down the iconic performers short life, leaving behind one of the most legendary debuts that just celebrated it's 30th anniversary, GRACE. Didier gets happy as we talk about the #1 horror box office smash WEAPONS and why dir: Zack Cregger is a director to watch! We also find ourselves a little 'mid' about Spike Lee's latest HIGHEST 2 LOWEST, but more forgiving with the return of NOBODY... um "2", helmed by buzzy Indonesian genre director Timo Tjahjanto.

Didier and I have divergent thoughts about New Zealand director Samuel Van Grinsven's supernatural possession film WENT UP THE HILL, but we are in total agreement for dir: Alex Russell's successfully wild debut LURKER!

Over at TV land, we try to guess what showrunner Noah Hawley (FARGO) has up his sleeve with the tense monster filled ALIEN EARTH. We also try to ask why THE RAINMAKER doesn't leave much of an impression. We both have much to say about the return of PEACEMAKER and have discovered a total surprise in the excellent K-drama limited series AEMA, about the dawn of erotic cinema in 1980s Korea.

It's a massively diverse collection of titles, but hopefully somewhere here is your next favorite movie/show. Press play and give yourself some time to digest ALL of our happy nonsense and opinions - and if you like it, SUBSCRIBE!
