In this very relaxed, thoroughly unofficial (non-book-related) episode, Houda and I explore our experiences of the South Korean film, Parasite.

Find out more about Houda in her guest profile here.

One point that didn’t come up in the episode but that I wanted to mention is how conscious I am of my lack of understanding of how this film has been received and is perceived inside South Korea (not just by the Korean diaspora). I’m finding it hard to get a clear idea. If you have come across any sources for this, please share them with me in the comments!

Correction: Bong Joon-Ho has directed seven full-length films, not four as I mentioned.
