The girls are closing out their month long coverage of Asian films with Bong Joon-ho's The Host (2006). Before Parasite had everyone talking, Bong Joon-ho gave us a creature flick that covers a lot of hot button issues with style. Tune in while Aisha and Rita discuss the SARS Epidemic, family unity, and the improper disposal of formaldehyde.
