Last week Bong Joon Ho, the cast, and crew of Parasite made history at the Oscars. The night before, Louie and I hopped on the mic to sing praise for our favorite movie of the year, and what is sure to be one of our favorites of all time. We talk extensively about the twists and turns of the script, the genre bending elements, the exquisite performances among the endless other things that coalesce to seamlessly demonstrate a universal truth of poverty and socioeconomic class division in a way only a story can do. This was my first experience with a Bong Joon Ho film. For Louie Kurtzman, he had already been a big fan of The Host (2006). But it’s safe to say that Parasite has opened a new vault in our brains and that viewing Bong’s catalog of filmmaking will proved to be one of life’s many extraordinary pleasures.
