If you are a human being and exist in this world, you probably saw 2019 runaway crossover hit Parasite, directed by Bong Joon-ho of South Korea. If you liked the film, did you know that Bong has been putting out solid work for decades and has a rich filmography for you to explore? From the haunting Memories of Murder to the slapdash Okja, Bong's work is uniquely watchable, yet always thought-provoking.
In 2006, he released a film about a terrible monster emerging from the depths of the Han River as a result of chemical pollution, triggering a viral pandemic that the corrupt government, over-influenced by American military interests, struggles to address. That film is called The Host, and for absolutely no reason, we decided this would be our Movie Night Movie for March. Go ahead and watch it. It's free to stream on YouTube currently, and we know you have time. Send in your reactions, comments, and questions! Our episode will be out soon.
