to be Hitchcock's rear Window, but underrated

10
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.600
and maybe some day we might have
to talk about it. Um. Did

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:52.079
Uh it is we got like I
think there's like two days left Asian and

17
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.959
Pacific Islander month. It has been
happening all month. We are closing out

18
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.239

Wook. Yeah, did you do your

19
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.079
you know kind of a tribute to
that. I just know I did.

20
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:13.639
I bought myself five a Kira Kurasawa
films for Asian Island and Pacific or a

21
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.680

films and you bought. I can tell

22
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:22.639
you it was a fantastic weekend launching
all those. Man, you not one,

23
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.719
not two, but you bought fives. Hey, I went all in.

24
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.479
I couldn't buy just one. I
had to. I had to get

25
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.719
like you know, I got seven
Samurai of course, you know, a

26
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:37.120

Had to have that um Rashaman and the

27
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:43.400
u Yo Jimbo send Juro um double
feature and I had never seen Sender before

28
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.240
and it was fantastic. Nice.
I feel like they need to make I

29
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.000
know they've done done it once or
twice here and there, but they need

30
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.639
they need a definitive Kirosawa box set. Yeah, which you know I'm holding

31
00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.719
out for that, I think.
Okay, But question for you, you've

32
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:06.840
been to Denver recently not recently,
Brad, I'm gonna tell you something I

33
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.840
was surprised to see. Over the
past thirty days, there has been a

34
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:17.639
significant spike in listeners in Denver,
Colorado. And I'm not talking like Horrigeous

35
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.960
I'm not. I'm not talking about
like a one or two. I'm talking

36
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.680
like more than a quarter of our
our listeners listening audience lately has been from

37
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.719
Denver, Colorado. So I thought
I was like, man is Brad on

48
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.560
Dayton Johnson, who you know,
we're talking thrillers. His go to is

Dayton just became our new patron.
Oh yeah, yeah about how about

54
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:54.680
that? He's going to try and
run things now? Uh he well listen,

55
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.839
don't don't think he wasn't considering the
uh the top tier so he can

56
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.040
do like a total takeover the show. Yeah, because we have one of

57
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:06.439
those coming up. We have we
have a patron who is a producer.

58
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.360
He's at that producer level. He
does get to fully call the shots on

59
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.040
a on an episode. So,
um, well, Daton, if we

60
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.920
if we must revisit Cobra, then
we will. Uh he would probably knowing

61
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.199
him, he would probably remove it
from our our library. He'd pull like

62
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.879
a like an HBO Max like killing
Batgirl. He would kill kill it.

00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.279
new for you, right, brand
new? Yeah? Yeah, never set

73
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.920
us films by the director or the
movie. Yeah. Okay, So tell

74
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.079
us a little bit about what Parks
two thousand and five thriller is all about,

75
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.639
Okay, without trying to give anything
away. Um, Lee Jam Yah

76
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.600
has confessed to killing a six year
old boy who was recently kidnapped. Thirteen

77
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.920
years later, Lee's released from prison
and is on the hunt for the actual

78
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:46.279
killer. Lee's ultimate revenge plan is
well calculated, pre arranged, and served

79
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.040
ice cold, not just your typical
revenge thriller, and you will never see

80
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:57.399
the twist coming in Park Chan Wook's
Lady Vengeance very nice, Brad. At

81
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.720
the beginning, when you said try
not to give anything away, I was

82
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.240
like, good luck, yeah,
because it's hard. You know, when

83
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:08.240
we talked about thrillers, I don't
care if they came out, you know,

84
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.959
ten days ago or ten years ago, like we d know if if

85
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.600
you haven't seen it. We really
don't want to give away the big twists,

86
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.560
but you know, sometimes you have
to. But yeah, yeah,

87
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.720
but this movie, this movie fortunately
has a lot of really good twists.

88
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.399
Yes it does. So this is
your first time seeing it, I know

89
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.480
not to not to tip your hand
for later for the recommendation, but first

90
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.680
impression, when you first impression,
UM, I was a little confused at

91
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:40.240
first. But once this movie starts
going, it is very interesting. It

92
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:46.519
is um experimental at times. UM, it's beautifully shot. UM, it's

93
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:53.480
extremely well acted. UM. And
you know it's you get a joy out

94
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.839
of some you know, revenge thrillers, and you kind of do get a

95
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.319
little bit of joy out of this
of you know, this this sweet venge,

96
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.040
you know, and it's and you're
trying to figure out the whole time.

97
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.399
It doesn't give you everything up front. I really like that you have

98
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.199
to under it has to all be
unveiled as you watch the movie, and

99
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.199
I really like that. Yeah,
well, you know, like you said,

100
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.160
you're a little confused in the beginning, this one kind of you have

101
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:24.519
to peel it back a little out
of time because it's between that and the

102
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.040
fact that that part Chen Wouk does
this this great thing. Like one thing

103
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.919
is that he has a great visual
style. I think his movies, I

104
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.960
mean they're cinematic, but they're also
they're artistic. You know, he has

105
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.320
a very artistic eye. The way
he directs I think almost like dream like.

106
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.440
Yeah, perfect, that is That's
exactly what I was thinking. Is

107
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.200
that's what I wanted to say.
And you you hit it. You hit

108
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.360
it right there on the head,
um real real, dreamlike like you're you

109
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.960
know some of the stuff you like, what is this reality? Is it

110
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.840
not reality? And definitely definitely engages
you. I think, Wait, the

111
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.600
way he does it. Speaking of
engaging our our our female lead here,

112
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.279
uh Lee Young, I think I
hope I'm saying that right, Brad.

113
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:20.320
Apologies apologies to our our listeners in
South Korea if I'm if I'm butchering these

114
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.960
names. But she plays our our
hero. Is it safe to say hero?

115
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.240
Brad Our, our protagonist, our
protagonist, I say hero, yeah

116
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:39.759
okay, uh um ya right,
yeah, okay, imprisoned, wrongfully imprisoned

117
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:45.559
for thirteen years. Uh and now
she's out definitely. You know, we

118
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.200
we've kind of covered this ground before
when we talked about we talked about Spike

119
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.159
Lee's Old Boy, which was which
was a remake of Park chan Wooks Old

120
00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:03.240
Boy. Right, And so this
is a vengeance trilogy apparently by by Woke

121
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.039
Our Chan Wooke. It is his
I guess maybe like Man with No Name

122
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:13.039
trilogy in some ways. Yeah,
they're they're connected, uh in tone,

123
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:20.279
they're connecting spiritually, like a spiritual
sequel if you will, not that you

124
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.600
need to see one before the other
or or what. And I know we're

125
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.000
gonna get into that in a little
bit, but I want to talk a

126
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:33.840
little bit about jim Ya. She
plays this character ice cold, yes,

127
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.759
and you have to see her at
you know, a very young age to

128
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:46.120
you know, twenty two then thirty
three and being a bubbly the you know

129
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.720
girl at times, having to do
all this stuff with the religion and you

130
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.960
know, trying to convince people that
she's this reformed girl and stuff. So

131
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.639
she's got a lot to do.
Yeah. I love the opening of this

132
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:07.600
film where you kind of blitz through
the police catching her, her confessing and

133
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.519
the media frenzy. The trial has
a real natural born Killers vibe to it.

134
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.759
Yeah, do you agree? Yeah? Yeah, this movie has a

135
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.679
lot of other things going on that
are telling the story in the background.

136
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.759
Like when she's telling the story of
basically what's going on, you hear it

137
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:33.600
being played in the background, the
screams and things that she's explaining. So

138
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.840
there's a lot of that in this
movie. You have to really pay close

139
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:43.240
attention during this movie. Yeah,
I think so. It's what it's a

140
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.559
It's it's a film that lends itself
to multiple viewings because yeah, again,

141
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.279
you you enjoy it, you go
back and then you start finding things you

142
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.519
didn't see the first time, you
know, And that's one thing I think

143
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.720
is really awesome about it. Let's
talk real quick about the villain, the

144
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:07.600
antagonist as it were, Ye,
mister Back played by Choi minsik H.

145
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.840
He is. Wow. It's an
interesting character because it, first of all,

146
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.879
you don't know about this character for
probably I'm gonna say the first hour

147
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.120
maybe at least okay, maybe the
first forty five minutes, so you don't

148
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:28.080
even know this character exists, and
then this unraveling of who this person is,

149
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.879
how he's connected to her, how
it's connected to the crime. It's

150
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.799
just it really rolls away. And
at first you're like, oh, this

151
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.120
guy's kind of moved on with his
life. He's sitting there eating dinner with

152
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.639
his wife and you know, just
got the TV on the background. And

153
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.320
then he decides, well, I'm
done, or at least I'm taking a

154
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:56.480
break from my food, and just
devours his wife on the table, very

155
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.399
very crudely, and you basically say, yes, this man is horrible,

156
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.559
but even then you don't know how
horrible. Yeah. He It's one of

157
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.480
those It's one of those villains that
just you start off and you're like,

158
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.679
oh, this looks like a nice
guy, looks like a normal guy.

159
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.159
Uh. But then the more we
see of him, the more he repulses

160
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.200
us. Yeah, right, I
expected when when you're finding out about this

161
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:31.039
character, I'm expecting someone very weak, very um afraid of you know,

162
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.240
especially in the situation that you see
that they're going through. Did not expect

163
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.120
this type of character. Now,
you know, when you watch a film

164
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:46.000
and someone is so great at the
role of being a bad guy or someone

165
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.120
that you can't stand and then you
you just you hate that person, right,

166
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:54.559
Yeah, I think credit to uh
to mensick here, the fact that

167
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:01.639
he is the hero in the original
Old Boy. You know that that Josh

168
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.799
Brolin plays in the US remake.
He plays day su Uh in an Old

169
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.440
Boy. So the idea and then
and again we talked about Spirituals, the

170
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.279
Spiritual sequel. You know, it's
a loose you know, it's a trilogy

171
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.879
in tone. You know, you
can't have the hero of Old Boy be

172
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.360
the villain of Lady Vengeance because that
would just would never work, right.

173
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.279
But this guy's awesome. Uh,
I'm talking about the man himself. CHOI

174
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.240
not not mister back. He is
not awesome. He he's a scumbag.

175
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.320
So yes, he's very very very
bad, very very bad man, very

176
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.399
bad man. Yeah. So we
talked a little bit about how this a

177
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.519
lot of this stuff almost dream like, Um, what would you say,

178
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.799
Brad as far as like how this
movie begins, like because at first,

179
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.519
like I said, you got the
media blitz, the Trial of the Century.

180
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.000
They're talking about how, you know, pop culture has kind of taken

181
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.960
to Jumiya, you know, like
the adapt that that kind of like how

182
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:05.559
we how we have in the States, you know, with serial killer culture,

183
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.120
right, they're they're all for you
know, and it's terrible because like

184
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.440
she's she confesses to kidnapping and murdering
a six year old boy. Yeah,

185
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.799
and not only that they to get
a full conviction, they basically do a

186
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.759
uh is it like a mock um
crime scene, you know, retelling so

187
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:35.120
to see could this person physically do
this? Could they physically bind the child?

188
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.919
Could they physically move them? And
she does it and she shows how

189
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.480
she you know, killed the kid
and stuff, and you're just like,

190
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.639
how is You're you're still you're wondering, how did this happen? How did

191
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.320
this happen? How is she?
You know, she's innocent, but you're

192
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:58.120
still trying to figure out how.
And once it finally comes into to realize

193
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.440
that what happened, it's it totally
makes sense. Well, you know,

194
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.039
like you said, like, you
know, she's innocent, but the first

195
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.840
time I saw this a while ago, I didn't know that. Because she

196
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:18.039
does confess, and even when she's
under police interrogation where they're trying to they're

197
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.440
trying to push her, you know
that to where you know, they're kind

198
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.840
of insinuating that she couldn't be the
killer. Yeah, she's trying to do

199
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.679
their boy. Yeah, she's doing
her best to convince them. On top

200
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.039
of that, in prison, she
is talking about how like, yeah,

201
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.679
I killed I killed the kid,
and yeah, you know, yeah,

202
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.320
she's got the voice of an age. She's got she's she's an angel.

203
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.440
Well yeah, but I still,
uh, I still did a terrible thing.

204
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.159
If I'm an angel, how can
I do such an evil thing?

205
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.480
So for a while throughout the movie
kind of like how we pull back the

206
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.200
reveal on who mister Back really is, we're pulling we're doing the same thing

207
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.879
with Jumia because I initially I was
like, Okay, I why is she

208
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.639
who who I'm rooting for? Like, I don't care that she's been you

209
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.920
know, imprisoned and wronged because she's
a child murderer. Right, So kudos

210
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.960
to you man, because you saw
you saw a little bit. It sounds

211
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.160
like you saw a little bit faster
than I did as far as like her

212
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.319
innocence goes No, No, I
mean I think I was like, all

213
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:22.200
right, stay with this character.
It's it's gonna have some kind of it's

214
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.599
all gonna come together somehow, whether
she sacrifices herself because of what she did,

215
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:32.359
whether she had a gun pointed at
her head. But once it's finally

216
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.440
revealed, and I know, we
don't try to do spoilers, but I

217
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.519
feel this is an underrated movies,
so I don't want to spoil too much

218
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.240
because I think people will watch it
after listening to this. But once you

219
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:48.039
figure it out, you're a lot
more invested in her because you're watching half

220
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:53.680
the movie rooting for this person.
But is this person a good person or

221
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:59.279
not? Yeah, you're not really
sure until it all comes together. And

222
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.559
some of the she does that I
know that we'll get to are questionable,

223
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.920
but I know why she does them
and the effect that she needs for them.

224
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:18.400
This movie deals with the themes of
revenge and atonement because this is a

225
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.160
character that is seeking both. She
wants to atone for her sins. She

226
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.680
also wants revenge for for what's happened
to her. So and it's one of

227
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:33.079
those amazing things where yeah, we
think she's an an evil person, then

228
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.599
we realize she's not. But but
is that right? Because she goes to

229
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:42.759
prison and becomes a bad person.
Is that fair to say because she you

230
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:48.519
know, she she does kill someone
in prison. Yeah, but it's prison,

231
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.799
and it's kind of have to end. It's almost necessary. Um,

232
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.599
this this person that you know she
does take out is not nice and not

233
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:04.519
a really good person. And but
doing what she does by getting all these

234
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:11.519
alliances together, yes, swarming this
plan for thirteen years and you know,

235
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:17.039
you know, once the one girl
says like as it started. She's like

236
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:21.319
it started thirteen years ago, as
the plan started, and then you're like,

237
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.200
all right, here we go.
She's got a plan. I absolutely

238
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:32.720
love the storytelling device where we get
a little glimpse of these women that are

239
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.559
in prison with her, you know
time. I love the little title cards.

240
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.079
So there's some time jumps in this
movie. Yeah, but but necessary

241
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.359
time jumps. And I think it's
you know what part does so brilliantly.

242
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.720
It could it'd be easy for him
to just you know, show us like

243
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:53.880
a couple, you know, quick
scenes of them bonding in prison, but

244
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:56.640
the way they did it coo,
you know, because it's uh, you

245
00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.960
know, you get like a quick
glimpse of how these women got in prison,

246
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.920
like what was their crime and you
see why they're gonna they're gonna gravitate

247
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.559
to uh to jum Ya, and
why they're gonna follow her lead and the

248
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:17.160
idea of her building this this team
to extract or revenge. I absolutely love

249
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.319
it. I love it. I
love the film for for for that that

250
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:26.759
use of it. It's like the
real Oceans eight. This this is your

251
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:33.160
this is the the rated R Ocean's
eight. Yeah, you know, uh,

252
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.000
we're not gonna, We're not gonna
steal it. We're not gonna knock

253
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.359
off h like Casino. We're gonna
Yeah, we're gonna murder somebody, you

254
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.880
know, but you know, still
love it. Still love it real quick

255
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.720
before I get away from it.
Uh. The music. And I apologize

256
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:55.240
because I'm I'm I'm blanking on the
the Gentleman's name. I really like the

257
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.599
music in this. It has like
that that old world harpsichord feel to it.

258
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.759
But I was doing some research,
Brad, and I apologize because I

259
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:08.720
was scraping the barrel looking for any
kind of information on this and I just

260
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.440
couldn't find anything. I don't know. I don't know about you, but

261
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:18.960
one thing I found that was kind
of interesting. The music that is used

262
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:25.960
for the score is, uh,
it's from Vivaldi and the piece in question

263
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.400
actually is the story about a woman
seeking revenge against a man who wronged her.

264
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.559
Really yeah, so I thought that
was kind of cool, you know.

265
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.240
And uh, and listeners, I
do apologize because you know, I'm

266
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.640
sure we'll we'll use it as our
outro on this but I don't know,

267
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:45.880
I just I really dug the music. Yeah, I thought the music was

268
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.319
really good. There was a lot
of like I said, the classical violin

269
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:55.960
pieces going together with the snow stuff. Yeah, the music really did did

270
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:00.160
work really well. Let's talk about
the U And I know we got to

271
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.119
be careful here because we don't want
to give it too much away. Um,

272
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:06.720
Brad, not your favorite scene,
not the best scene it was.

273
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.400
Is there a pivotal moment in here
for you, a scene that you're just

274
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:15.960
like, whoa, that's that's a
beautiful when she um when she has her

275
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.119
monologue of explaining it all, when
she explained to the young the young kid,

276
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:26.960
when she yeah, I mean she
explains it all exactly why she's doing

277
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.119
what she needs to do. And
like I said, when she's telling the

278
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.400
story, you hear the screams in
the backgrounds and everything like that. I

279
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:38.839
thought that was a really well done
scene. The cameras just kind of floating

280
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.200
around the room at the same time, and you're just you have to go

281
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.599
on this story with this woman.
But um, i'd say one of my

282
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:48.960
scenes that I just cracked up on. It wasn't a pivotal scene, but

283
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.240
there's a scene where they're all all
these people are sitting there and they're just

284
00:22:52.319 --> 00:23:00.000
passing over these raincoats. It's very
a lot like like, here's this yours,

285
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.680
you know, this is here's your
weapon, and it was just it

286
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.279
was so it was kind of funny, and there's a few things in here

287
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.240
that are are funny. So yes, it's a very very dark movie.

288
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.160
But there are some comical, good
comical reliefs. Um a lot of them

289
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:19.799
provided by the boy working at the
bakery itself. But um, there are

290
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:25.160
some take it easy. Yeah,
we're doing a deep, deep movie here,

291
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.720
but still a movie. And there's
some good comical scenes in it too.

292
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:33.279
But that's my pivotal one. I
I like your your your your choice.

293
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.160
One thing I really like about it, like you said, you the

294
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:41.240
layering of you know, her telling
her, we recounting her recounting the story

295
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:47.440
that telling us the truth, you
know, because as she's telling the U

296
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:51.079
the kid from the bakery, she's
she's telling us, she's letting she's finally

297
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:57.279
letting us know and hearing those those
screams kind of kind of kind of floating

298
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:03.599
along her her dialogue. It's really
haunting, really really dark. Uh.

299
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.000
I love that moment for her,
though, because I feel like that's a

300
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.599
that's it's a sense of empowerment for
her, you know, because you know,

301
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.480
and maybe it's the culture over there, but it's pointed out several times

302
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:19.799
about how beautiful Juma is, you
know, how how young and beautiful she

303
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:26.200
is. I like that moment because
she kind of shea It's an empowering moment

304
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.960
for her with the with the the
kid for the bakery because and we say

305
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.480
kid, but you know, he's
nineteen. Yeah, so's he's a kid.

306
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.119
Yeah he's a kid. Yeah her
Yeah, she's fourteen years older than

307
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.880
him, so she's he's a kid. But I love I love the fact

308
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:45.240
that she's not the typical damsel.
She's not the typical you know, he's

309
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.359
not trying to you know, because
they have a they have a an encounter

310
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.799
We'll just say a little vision quest
encounter. Yeah, a little little,

311
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:59.799
little, little little Linda Fioranno actually
happening there. But I dig it because

312
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.240
he is the one that's that's a
little int he's intimidated, he is scared.

313
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.440
Yeah, and she is in total
control. And I dig that about

314
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.759
about the scene. Um, I'm
gonna give you a different pivo pivotal moment.

315
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.160
This was the one for me because
yours was. I was feeling that

316
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.440
until just a little bit further along
in the movie. And I'll be and

317
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.480
I'll be very careful because I don't
want to give anything away, but the

318
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:30.079
cell phone, Yeah, the charming, Yeah, because you're still kind of

319
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:36.480
baffled. You see the red marble, Okay, but you really don't know

320
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:41.160
what the other ones are once we
and I'm not trying to to really tease

321
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:48.039
or or or uh frustrate our listeners
right now, but the marble. We

322
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.279
know what the marble signifies, we
know what that we know how important that

323
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.880
marble is to this movie. And
once you see the marble in relation to

324
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:02.480
the other charms, it breaks the
story wide open. And Brad, you

325
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.960
talked about the twists that this movie
takes and right there I was like,

326
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.720
whoa, this just got a lot
darker, it just got a lot deeper,

327
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.920
and I'm I'm all in now,
like you know, let's let's let's

328
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.960
keep going. And I thought the
movie was over at this point. At

329
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:25.119
this point you're like, okay,
I think this is the end, and

330
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:32.359
then the movie changes again and you're
just like okay, um, because you

331
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:37.519
I would have been satisfied, but
you get this like bonus of story that

332
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:42.519
just makes it so much more compelling
and so much more of you just want

333
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:48.599
to destroy this mister back and you
want you want, you want Lady Vengeance

334
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.000
to get her her vengeance. Yeah. This uh, in a way,

335
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.480
this movie has that that Return of
the King ending where you get like a

336
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.599
couple endings because I thought, okay, great play, I used to end

337
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.680
this and justice has served and then
the ending? Can we can we talk

338
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.480
about the ending without giving you know, to talk. I wanted to ask

339
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:12.079
you about one specific scene. Okay, here, why don't we do this?

340
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.440
Why don't we do this for our
listeners? Brad, if you are,

341
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:22.119
if you're all in and you don't
like spoilers, go check out Lady

342
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:26.440
Vengeance and real quick you could.
It's streaming free on two by Pluto TV.

343
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.960
It's on Prime. For those of
you that don't want any spoilers from

344
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.279
here on out, go watch it
and then come right back to us.

345
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.359
Brad, I feel like we're safe
now, so let's let's do what we

346
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:42.839
want to do. So the scene
where she has all the videos and she's

347
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:48.519
going to show the parents. Yeah, Now, this scene is actually very

348
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.720
hard to watch, and as it's
happening, I'm seeing myself going I think

349
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.599
this was a wrong choice for the
director. I think it was a wrong

350
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.960
choice to show this because this is
really difficult to watch. But then it

351
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:08.319
was done, and she's explaining everything
to the parents there, and I don't

352
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:14.759
think she would have got the reaction
for them against Beck if she wouldn't have

353
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:19.000
shown that. They wouldn't have gone
in if she wouldn't have shown it.

354
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:27.480
Was it somewhat unorthodoxed and cruel maybe, but now they all share this secret,

355
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.920
you know. But yeah, like
she said, you know, because

356
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.400
I'm like, she should have just
taken it to the cops. And but

357
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:38.599
like I said, when the scene
first happened, I'm like, I don't

358
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.640
know if I like this, but
she had to do it, and so

359
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.000
I wanted to ask you, do
you think that was necessary or could she

360
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:49.640
have just told them? I think
it's very necessary and it's very necessary for

361
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:56.279
the film. I'm so glad that
we continued on because you've once we realize

362
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:03.319
that Beck has done this several times
and she's got him. I mean,

363
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:08.400
this is a situation where your child's
been missing for years, you know,

364
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:14.799
in some cases like ten years,
and your child you know they were found,

365
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.200
you know, never found, or
they were found murdered. And then

366
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:21.079
someone says, out of the blue, someone pulls you in and says,

367
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:23.079
hey, I here, I'm gonna
I'm gonna show you what happened to your

368
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:29.759
child, and I'm gonna let you
choose what happens to uh, your child's

369
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:33.480
killer. Right that it's such a
hard scene to watch, Brad, And

370
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.839
I imagine you know, you're a
you're a new father, so that had

371
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:45.200
got hard to watch this scene.
Yeah, well, anytime you see children

372
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.799
in danger, Yeah, it's a
hard it's a hard scene to watch because

373
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.720
this this guy, he's sick,
he is he's kind of made these like

374
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.960
a little little home movies. Yeah, as his keepsakes. You know,

375
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:00.960
serial killers love trophies, and this
is his his trophy. He has,

376
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.480
he has his charms, and he
has his uh you know, he has

377
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:10.079
his little little little video cassettes.
M jum Ya is she becomes in this

378
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:15.240
in this moment, she becomes judge, jury and executioner. But she also

379
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:21.079
brings brings this group of parents in
and it now becomes where it's just one

380
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:25.160
person going after revenge. Now you
gotta you gott a lynch mob on your

381
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:30.839
friends. And it is I mean, uh Park chan Wook, his his

382
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:36.799
his films are known for their their
brutal sense of violence. Yeah, because

383
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:38.400
I can tell you, I mean
you saw Old Boy, you saw the

384
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.400
Spike Lee, Old Boy Brad,
I can tell you his version of Old

385
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.640
Boy. It it dials it up
when it comes to the brutal violence and

386
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:52.440
the torture stuff. But I love
the scene because she willingly you know.

387
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.160
And I think this is like where
she goes from vengeance to atonement. She's

388
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.720
trying to do right, She's trying
to make make good on this. Uh.

389
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.440
So she she does this thing where
it's like, hey, here's what

390
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.480
he did. What do you guys? You we all have to choose,

391
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.599
we all have to agree together.
I love that moment. I absolutely love

392
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.119
the whole thing. HM. Now, since you kind of had a fun

393
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.000
little you know, like, hey, here's my pivotal moment. But here's

394
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.599
something I thought was funny. You
know you mentioned the raincoats, the passing

395
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:25.279
of the passing out of the raincoats. How about the uh, the let's

396
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:29.200
have some coffee and cake scene,
because that's the one where I was like,

397
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.240
uh, I laughed because I was
like, but it was like an

398
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:34.720
uncomfortable laugh. I was like,
is this is this what we're doing?

399
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:40.839
After yeah, after the fact that
they yeah, and they're all looking around,

400
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:45.559
going this is really good cake.
They're all like you get their um

401
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.720
reactions to the cake and they're like, this is this is this is delicious?

402
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:55.880
Yeah, It's it's such a it's
such a displaced moment because you have

403
00:31:55.920 --> 00:32:00.279
to ask you if you're in this, if you're in such a traumatic situation,

404
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.960
uh, you know, or a
moment where you're sharing it with a

405
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.480
collective group of other traumatized people.
I guess it's in our nature to just

406
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:12.680
define something. You know, people
people talk about the weather, but you

407
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.880
know, this situation, this is
some great this is some good, delicious

408
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:19.119
cake and it's a tribute to all
their children. So I thought it was

409
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:22.640
a really nice thing. Yeah,
well yeah, the happy Birthday thing was.

410
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.720
It was heartfelt. Yeah, let's
take a quick break, but when

411
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:32.039
we get back, we're gonna talk
about director Park Chan Wook Hi. I'm

412
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:37.200
dating the host of the Documents seventy
seven podcast. We talk about everything from

413
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:42.599
Anthrax to the Muppets to West Side
Story. All right, boys, buckle

414
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:46.599
up because we have hit the bottom
of the barrel. Because he slaughters all

415
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:51.079
the Tuscan Raiders. The fact that
she stays by his side, that that

416
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:52.720
tells me everything I need to know
about these women that write letters to serial

417
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:57.319
killers in prison. You know,
it makes it made sense. You know

418
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:06.000
Moby Young Sad always dumped Tim.
That was the song. You know when

419
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:12.440
you listen, Tim, did you
have the volume on? The witches are

420
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.680
definitely much more nightmare fuel, But
the fact that they look like the Texas

421
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:22.480
Chainsaw centerfolds m if jancof Thatt is
so awesome. He's hired to be cloned.

422
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:25.000
Why the hell isn't he doing the
job. He's like, my client's

423
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:28.920
getting impatient. What you slack ass
mother? Why don't you do it?

424
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:34.279
You know you're just check us out
on Apple podcast, Good Pods, pod

425
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:39.759
Bean, or wherever you get your
podcasts. And we're back everybody. We

426
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:45.880
are talking about Lady Vengeance and it's
director Park Chan Wook. Now, this

427
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:47.640
is the first film I've seen of
his. But Jeff, you're a little

428
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:52.759
bit more familiar with the director's work. I wish I was more familiar with

429
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:57.160
his work because he is a fantastic
director. I can tell you a little

430
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.559
bit about him, though, just
because he's I feel like he's a little

431
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:05.079
new too of us. Born in
Seoul, South Korea, he studied philosophy

432
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:09.719
at the Sogang University. This is
something I think that, uh, we

433
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:13.880
definitely would appreciate or we do,
we should appreciate it about him, Brad.

434
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.119
It's it's at school. He starts
his own cinema club called the Sogang

435
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:24.039
Film Community, and he starts publishing
articles on contemporary cinema. Oh that's something

436
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.800
that you and I would have done. Yeah, I like that I should

437
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.639
have done when we were in college. Right, Uh, originally he was

438
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:36.760
there, he had he had intended
to become an art critic. But Brad,

439
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:40.800
we're talking thrillers. Today, he
sees Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and decides to

440
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:44.639
be a filmmaker. Now, Brad, I know when it comes to Hitchcock,

441
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.440
isn't that your favorite? I think
so. I think it's definitely one

442
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:52.360
of my favorites. Um. It's
just a very good, um, creepy,

443
00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:58.280
you know tale that just keeps I
keep finding new things in it.

444
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:00.320
Yeah, I mean you, I
mean you've you've even walked You've walked the

445
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:08.079
film locations? Yeah, yeah,
to um yeah, I can't remember the

446
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.079
area right now, but I've been
to it with the horse the horse place.

447
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:16.519
Yeah. After school, he works
as an assistant director on two films

448
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:22.719
before making his directorial debut, a
little film called The Moon is the Sun's

449
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:28.320
Dream in nineteen ninety two. Did
you catch that one? No, this

450
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:32.920
is my first I did not either. Five years later, in nineteen eighty

451
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:37.519
seven, he makes his second film
called Trio. I didn't see it.

452
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:40.719
I know you didn't see it.
Guess what, most people didn't see it.

453
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:47.480
Because his first two films out the
gate, Brad very poorly, poorly

454
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.239
received and uh, you know,
not successful with the box office. And

455
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:57.039
that is why he becomes a film
critic to make a living. Okay,

456
00:35:57.159 --> 00:36:00.440
nothing wrong with that, Nothing wrong
with that. Yeah, we're we're critics,

457
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:01.760
so we know what. We know
what he's talking about. Now.

458
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:07.320
In two thousand, he directs a
film called Joint Security Area. It is

459
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:15.039
commercially and critically successful. It becomes
the most watched film ever made in South

460
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:20.880
Korea. And if you want one
more unusual accolade for this film, Quentin

461
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:25.800
Tarantino, who obviously is a big
fan of Park Chan Wook Tarantino says,

462
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:31.000
this film but kind of you know, people know as JSA. Tarantino says,

463
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:36.119
it's one of the top twenty films
since nineteen ninety two. Well,

464
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.840
it's definitely worth given at least a
try. We got tried. Yeah,

465
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:45.760
absolutely, I like this. During
an interview in twenty seventeen, Park says,

466
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:52.159
many people know my directorial debut is
Joint Security Area, and I want

467
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:55.719
to keep it that way. With
that, said, Brad, I know

468
00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:00.920
he's done about twenty pictures, and
you know, you've seen this one and

469
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:06.360
I've seen three others, so I
kind of feel, you know, like

470
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:09.320
we should just kind of jump around, skip around, mention a couple of

471
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:12.559
them. If you're good right that. Yeah, yeah, it sounds good.

472
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:17.159
All right, all right, sounds
good. So after Joint Security Area

473
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:23.239
in two thousand, we're gonna skip
ahead to two thousand and two. Sympathy

474
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:29.400
from Mister Vengeance. Now, this
is the first one in the quote unquote

475
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:34.960
Vengeance trilogy. He wrote it and
he directs it. I'm gonna tell you,

476
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:39.360
because it's available out there. If
you it sounds like a it sounds

477
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:44.519
like you're really digging lady Vengeance.
I'm definitely gonna recommend that you check out

478
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.119
Sympathy from Mister Vengeance. Oh I
want to see the trilogy now, yeah,

479
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:51.159
you have to. You can't just
watch one more. It's fantastic.

480
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:55.639
Two thousand and three, he does
the second film, Old Boy, which

481
00:37:55.760 --> 00:38:05.400
again stars Choi Min Sick as the
lead protagonist that we saw Josh Brolin play

482
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:10.079
in the Spike Lee remake. I
would love to hear your thoughts on on

483
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:15.360
Wooke's Old Boy, because I know
you've seen you know, we've obviously we've

484
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.760
talked about Spike Lee's version. I
would love to hear what you have to

485
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:22.800
say about it, and I know
we can. I'm bummed that we can't

486
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:24.360
really get into it and talk about
it, because I think you would have

487
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:27.719
a lot of great things to say
about this. So you got to check

488
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:29.840
it out. Man. Well,
I really would like to see it.

489
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:31.039
And I don't know if it's the
rest of the country, but I do

490
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:35.719
know in Los Angeles it is being
rereleased for its twentieth anniversary, back in

491
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:38.719
the theater for a little while,
So old boy coming back to theaters.

492
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.559
You gotta go check it out.
I'd like to. Yeah, I like,

493
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:46.119
yeah, you gotta go. Ya'll
tell you what you go, you

494
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.920
check it out. We might have
to do like a follow up to this

495
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.239
little Old Old Boy review. Yeah, Wilke verse Lee, how about that

496
00:38:54.639 --> 00:39:00.159
sounds good? All right? We've
been talking about Sympathy for Lady Vengeance,

497
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:05.719
uh otherwise known as Lady Vengeance,
Brad. This is one of those odd

498
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:09.119
odd titles where it's it's got a
couple it goes by a couple different names.

499
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:15.599
It's uh so Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. And you said, I think

500
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:21.360
it's Russia where it's called that or
yeah, but yeah, it's it's a

501
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:23.760
couple of different names. He has
that with another film, like it's called

502
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:29.400
like something else, you know besides
that. But Um, but yeah,

503
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:31.599
I mean it's it's Lady Vengeance.
I just like you said, it's part

504
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:36.360
of this Vengeance trilogy. You know. It starts with Sympathy from Mister Vengeance,

505
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:42.360
includes Old Boy, and uh concludes
with Lady Vengeance. Yeah, listeners

506
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.679
the fastest way to find it if
you're searching for it to stream it,

507
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.119
Uh, just type in Lady Vengeance
and uh and you'll get to it.

508
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.639
Because oddly enough, if you sit
there, do you take the time to

509
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:55.039
type out sympathy for You're never gonna
find it. Simple. Yeah, sympathy

510
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:59.800
for mister Vengeance will pop up pretty
quick, but Lady Vengeance not so much.

511
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:04.719
Um. Now, a film I've
never seen of his, and I

512
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.599
didn't know he directed until very recently
that I've always wanted to see is two

513
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:12.159
thousand and nine Thirst. Have you
ever seen this? I have not.

514
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:15.599
I would like to see this.
Do you have a little bit of background

515
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:19.480
you can tell the I know,
through a failed to medical experiment, a

516
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:24.920
priest is stricken with vampirism and is
forced to abandon asthetic ways. And I've

517
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:30.960
heard on this movie shows up on
a lot of lists of you know,

518
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:36.119
underrated horror films or best vampire films. That one's always on there, and

519
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:38.159
so I'd really like to check out
Thirst. We got to check out Thirst.

520
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:42.519
Uh he he writes this, he
directs it, he produces it.

521
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:47.440
Um. It's a couple of years
later, twenty thirteen. I am familiar

522
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:52.800
with his work in twenty thirteen bread
So one one project I don't know if

523
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:58.039
you saw he uh he wrote it
or I'm sorry he directed it, did

524
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:02.480
not write it. A film called
Stoker, starring Nicole Kidman, Dermot Mulrooney

525
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:09.280
and uh that Mia Wassakowska. I
think, yeah, I think Matthe yeah,

526
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:15.199
Matthew Goods in it. Yeah.
It is a very uh how do

527
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:19.239
I say it? Uh? You
know again thriller, not not brutally violent

528
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:23.880
like Lady Vengeance, but in a
haunting way, you know, um mysterious

529
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:28.880
if if you would, I thought
this was kind of cool. He actually

530
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:36.199
when when Woke got got his hands
on on Stoker, he knew it.

531
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:38.519
It had to be Nicole Kitman had
to be Nicole Kidman in the lead.

532
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:45.440
Fun fact about it, though,
Brad she was not wanting to travel overseas

533
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.199
and be away from her family,
and they were like wanting to push and

534
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:52.199
say, hey, find someone else. He says, no, this is

535
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:54.960
a guy. Now, if we
didn't mention it before, Park does not

536
00:41:55.079 --> 00:42:00.719
speak any English, okay, really
he uses he uses an interpreter on set,

537
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:06.119
and all his films are you know, are made in South Korea.

538
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:13.000
Until we get to Stoker. He
actually decides to relocate the story to Nashville,

539
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:16.159
and the house, like the main
setting that they use in the movie

540
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:22.920
is like about a ten minute drive
from Nicole Kimmin's actual house. So that's

541
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.280
how he kind of convinces her to
take on the roll. She's like,

542
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:27.960
I don't want to leave my family. He goes, yeah, you won't

543
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:30.280
have to be home every night for
dinner. Okay, that we're pretty awesome,

544
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:35.199
right Yeah. Now, I'm gonna
cheat here because he didn't write it,

545
00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:37.599
he didn't direct it, but he
didn't produce it. And I know

546
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.079
you've seen this, brat because I
love it. I'm a fan of this

547
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:45.119
one, the sci fi, the
dystopian sci fi thriller, Snow Piercer.

548
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:49.679
You know it's Snow Piercer. I'm
gonna have to give another chance. I

549
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:52.920
was not a big fan of it
the first time I saw it. I

550
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:58.159
no I wasn't wasn't a big fan
of it, but I would definitely give

551
00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:02.559
that a second chance Sunday, Brad, it needs a second chance Sunday.

552
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:07.039
Now, I'll be honest. I
really wasn't a fan of the television series

553
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:10.239
that they tried to do, that
they tried to adapt. But the film

554
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:15.280
itself is awesome. Chris Evans,
you know, you know when you need

555
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:19.400
a chance to say, Hey,
I want to see Chris Evans, but

556
00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:23.320
I don't want to see Captain America
right snow, Piercer Man, It's it's

557
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:27.840
awesome. A couple of years after
that, now you know we're talking.

558
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:30.559
I know he has got some critical
acclaim for a movie called The Handmaiden.

559
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:34.559
Okay, I have not seen it, Brad. It came out to twenty

560
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:38.280
sixteen. Again, he writes,
directs, and produces The Handmaiden. I

561
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:43.480
know it. Uh, it was
big on the award circuit. One one

562
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:46.199
quite a few things. I want
to see it. Do you know anything

563
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:52.440
about it? I know nothing about
it. I'm looking at the information right

564
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:58.239
now. But I mean, I
from what I've experienced with this one movie,

565
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:01.639
this is definitely a director I'm going
to give another chance, you know,

566
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:06.559
I mean, he you know,
you entertained me. You showed me

567
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:09.159
a different kind of movie. And
like I said, you you threw me

568
00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:14.800
for twist, you lived up on
that, you stuck to the landing each

569
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:19.840
time. I'm gonna keep seeing more
of your stuff. Having having seen the

570
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:25.519
Vengeance Trilogy and Stoker, The Handmaiden
is next on my list, just because

571
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:30.559
again this guy has his His visual
style is fantastic. He knows how to

572
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:35.880
direct a film. Uh if we
didn't need, you know, not that

573
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:37.360
we need more reasons to go and
to go see The Handmaiden. I know

574
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:45.159
it wins Best Film at the British
Academy Film Awards. It was it competed

575
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:49.880
for the Palm Dior a can in
twenty sixteen. So I'm all in.

576
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.719
I'm all in on this guy.
I want to see more of his stuff.

577
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:55.639
Uh now I'm gonna I'm gonna throw
a loop. I'm gonna I'm gonna

578
00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:59.360
throw you for a loop here,
Brad. I got a question, you

579
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:01.760
know, because we always like to
talk about what we would like to see

580
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:06.679
from the director next, right,
okay, yea, And I don't know

581
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:09.440
that you and I right now,
right now, I don't know that you

582
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:13.800
and I are qualified, you know, until we see a little bit more

583
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:16.599
of his work, right right,
right, So I'm gonna cheat. I'm

584
00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:22.119
gonna ask you because I know you're
a huge fan of Spike Lee's Old Boy

585
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:29.079
remake, and I kind of feel
like this this story would translate well just

586
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:34.239
as well as Old Boy. So
my question to you if a US remake

587
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:37.639
was going to happen. You're the
producer on this one, Brad Yep,

588
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:42.199
I want to know who's going to
direct it and who's gonna star in it

589
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:50.360
as as Jumia Okay Lady Vengeance directed
by Robert Edgers, starring Anna Taylor Joy.

590
00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:53.519
Wow, I was about to school
you, man. I thought I

591
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:58.360
had a great answer, and I
thought I kind of threw that at you,

592
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:00.960
thinking like you're just like, well, no, let me think about

593
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:06.440
here. Damn. That's a good
answer. Somebody with a great visual style,

594
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:13.360
somebody that's not afraid to do the
obscure, and we need somebody that's

595
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:20.960
got a very trusting leading lady that
can go from young to older very easily

596
00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:24.280
and can look like somebody that could
be manipulated but then also be very strong.

597
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:29.519
So there's my team. Oh man, you know we were just a

598
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.320
couple. What was it like two
weeks ago we were talking with filmmakers Stimpson

599
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:37.159
sneed you guys. I thought,
is this about to turn into an Egger's

600
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:39.280
podcast? Because you guys are you
know? I mean, I don't get

601
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:43.880
me wrong. I love the Lighthouse
and I love I love the Northman.

602
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:45.920
But I was like, man,
these we're all in on this guy.

603
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:50.119
Yeah, and now that you're thinking, now that I'm thinking about the Lighthouse

604
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:54.199
seeing Edgar's style, Yeah, with
a move with you know again woke has

605
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:58.840
that dream like you know, prepy
vibe going through that this whole thing?

606
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:04.719
All right? Do you say,
William Dafoe as Beck, Oh see,

607
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:09.239
now you're just making I care.
I don't know if I can compete with

608
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:14.280
you now, Okay, okay,
yes, what do you have? All

609
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:19.519
right? I was quick to as
far as my director I was. I

610
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:23.639
was immediately looking at Emerald Finnel,
who a lot of people don't know her

611
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:29.199
name, but we know. Uh. One of her most recent films Promising

612
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:32.639
Young Woman with Carrie Mulligan. Okay, remember that, remember that, like

613
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:37.320
it's again a woman on a revenge
story. Yeah, that's a great movie

614
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:42.039
too. It's a great movie,
So I thought she was my first thought,

615
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:44.079
and I was like, you know
what, She's kind of been in

616
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:47.639
this territory before, so that's a
little too easy. So I'm gonna give

617
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:54.239
I'm gonna give a I mentioned to
uh Lynn Ramsey. You probably remember her,

618
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:59.360
Brad. I think her most famous
film is probably we need to talk

619
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:04.000
about Kevin from like uh eleven,
maybe two thousand and ten, something like

620
00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:08.280
that, But it's her film you
were never really here in twenty seventeen with

621
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:14.360
Joaquin Phoenix. Have you seen that? Okay, it's on Prime? I

622
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:19.000
think, uh that's at least I
saw it on Prime last year and just

623
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:22.719
loved it. So it's got that
dark, foreboding revenge kind of vibe to

624
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:29.840
it. So I'm I'm gonna go
with Lynn Ramsey and man, I had

625
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:34.039
I had Sydney Sweeney all set to
take on this role because we need someone

626
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:37.679
that can play nineteen, can also
play maybe thirty, and you know,

627
00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:44.960
as the cinematic beauty that that Jumya
has. But I'm really digging your your

628
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.880
answer, I don't know, listeners. Lets let us know. Let us

629
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:51.559
know once we post the episode.
What do you guys think? Yeah,

630
00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:54.159
let it. Let us know are
you know you guys are the producer.

631
00:48:54.440 --> 00:49:01.679
Brad is pitching um the US remake
with Roberts starring Anna teller Joy and he's

632
00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:05.440
he just he he pulls in Willem
to foe. So I don't know if

633
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:09.400
I can compete with that. I'm
going with uh with Lynn Ramsey, uh

634
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:14.440
and Sydney Sweeney. So let us
know who you're backing. There's a team

635
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:16.519
Brad or team Jeff because uh,
yeah, Brad, I I know I

636
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:22.639
know recently, uh you you got
some some acclaim online Brad. Yeah,

637
00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:24.880
I think I think it was a
star with Brad this time because you know,

638
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:29.079
you know, I think he had
the right answer here. So we'll

639
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:30.440
uh, we'll see what we'll see
what they have to say this time.

640
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:34.840
Absolutely, Brad, I think it's
safe to say I know the answer.

641
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:39.159
But uh, let's talk about your
your recommendation for this film. Um absolutely,

642
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:44.119
uh see this film um uh,
like I said, you can see

643
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:49.519
it on. I saw it on
to be a quick reference for anybody watching

644
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:53.280
on tb um. But he said, the film is um, you know,

645
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:58.320
in a different language. You have
to put on the closed captioning to

646
00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:01.920
get the subtitles. You we will
get Korean subtitles when some of the English

647
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:06.320
language comes on, but when you
hit the closed captioning, it will only

648
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:09.440
play the subtitles. They won't play
like the crack of sounds, you know,

649
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:13.880
coming from the inside. It's just
basics something. So just hit close

650
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:19.079
captioning and you should be good.
Okay, first off, thank you for

651
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:22.760
for letting them know, because you
know, I love to be That was

652
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:27.000
the first place I went to watch
this, and the film starts, you

653
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.400
know, we get like the yeah, we get the things, we get

654
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:34.239
the yeah we well even before that
with the title screens, you get like

655
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:38.320
the South Korean uh on the on
the screen, but then you also have

656
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:40.760
the English next to it, right, yeah, and there's a couple of

657
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:45.559
songs that are in English. You
hear too. Yeah, So they're singing

658
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:47.280
and it's like, okay, well
here's the song. But then when when

659
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:51.639
the the cast starts talking, I
was long. I was like, wait,

660
00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:54.800
where's yeah, just subtimes. So
I actually I did not do the

661
00:50:54.840 --> 00:51:00.400
detective work like you. I jumped
right over to Pluto TV where it's also

662
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:05.639
streaming, and Pluto had it set
up to where you know, at least,

663
00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:07.320
I don't know. Maybe I did
it with my remote, maybe I

664
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.119
didn't, but it was it was
It had the subtitle this is this is

665
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:15.000
not what you Yeah, this is
not one that you're going to find a

666
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:17.599
US dub though, right at least
I couldn't see it. I couldn't find

667
00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:22.440
anywhere. So, but there's a
lot this movie is very visual, you

668
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:28.360
know, it's it's has dialogue,
but it's it's more of a visual movie,

669
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:32.239
you know, of just seeing people's
reactions and and just following the story

670
00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:37.039
as it goes, you know.
So it's not hugely important. But you

671
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:40.679
know, if if you do not
like watching subtitle the movie the subtitle,

672
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:45.199
you're not going to be overloaded.
I agree. Now, if you do

673
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:50.360
not like brutal violence, do not
watch. This might not be the one

674
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:52.599
for you. But if you don't
mind it, or you're like, yes,

675
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:58.519
get that guy it is, it
is definitely uh something that you might

676
00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:00.559
be up for. All right,
what do we got coming up next week

677
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:07.079
on a film by I am very
excited for next week a film at forty

678
00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:14.719
five. Our good friends Scott and
Dave. They have been just doing an

679
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:20.119
amazing job on our our latest limited
series a film at forty five, Brad,

680
00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:23.000
they are going to be talking about
what I feel is probably the best

681
00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:28.280
movie of nineteen seventy eight, definitely
my favorite movie of nineteen seventy eight.

682
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:34.159
I'm talking about Superman. Oh,
it's it's time. It's time for the

683
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:40.119
Superman. It is time, and
Brad, these guys are talking with Aaron

684
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:46.840
Smolensky. Aaron who plays the young
Superman in the film. He is gonna

685
00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:51.400
be here in the studio with him. He's talking to him about the film,

686
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:55.000
about his experiences. I am so
excited to hear what he has to

687
00:52:55.039 --> 00:53:00.320
say about the film and and how
that's gonna all gonna go down. I

688
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:04.199
think it might be time to break
out the Superman collection. The fact that

689
00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:08.760
they're actually talking to someone who plays
Superman in the nineteen seventy eight film,

690
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:12.920
A man, I'm jealous. That's
all. That's all I can tell you.

691
00:53:13.199 --> 00:53:15.639
I usually watch that film at least
once a year, and now I

692
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:21.400
have a special reason to watch it. So yeah, join us next week

693
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:27.039
as we as we talk with the
Scott and Dave and h and Aaron Smilinsky.
