It's very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present.

Do you believe that someone out of the past can enter and take possession of a living being.

We may be true with the past, but the past is not through with us.

Welcome to the next picture show, a movie of the week podcast devoted to a classic film

and how it's shaped our thoughts on a recent release. I'm Tasha Robinson here with Genevieve Kemp's.

Scott Tobias. Keith Thubes. This week we're looking at two Korean movies that center around the concept of family. So I thought it would be a great idea to bring our own families in as guests. Some of us have kids. Some of us have siblings. There are a lot of family members in our lives. and I thought it would be worthwhile to sit down with like 20 or so of them and talk through this film.

Keith, you brought your daughter, right?

Yeah, a lot of family members in our lives. And I thought it would be worthwhile to sit down with like 20 or so of them and talk through this film. Keith, you brought your daughter, right? Yeah, a couple of things. I got your request earlier today and a couple of things. It is at this point quite past her bedtime. And also, I have trouble like getting her to watch, you know, the Goosebubbs movie. She was a little scared to watch that. So I don't think the host and Parasite are really going to do it for her. Okay. Genevieve, who'd you bring? I miss the memo, and I told my fiance to scramm, so he's playing basketball. My dog is here, but he's unfortunately not very well-versed in international film, so I don't think he's going to be much help. Uh-huh. Okay. Scott, we're in your house. So, like, surely your family can come down here and join us for this conversation, right? Yeah, you know, they would, except my daughters already have an exclusive commitment to another film podcast. I'm curious which one, Scott. I We actually don't name it because we don't want to

promote another podcast on this show. Okay, stop bantering. This is ridiculous. I can't believe

everybody's family is too busy or important or eight years old to come talk about a monster

movie and a tense social drama with us right now. How are we supposed to make this work? Tasha,

you realize we've only got four mics, right? And a 20-person conversation was never going to be technologically possible for us. And you maybe could give us a little more warning than just earlier this afternoon? We'd have to work things out like babysitting and travel. And did you write the script at the last minute like usual and expect that everything would just, you know, work out? Yeah, seriously, Tasha, we're all sitting around a table that barely fits us. How do you think we're going to cram another 16 people in here? Look, neither of the films we're talking about tonight are about competency or good, well-thought-out plans or advanced planning. They're just about family. Genev, you know what I'm talking about here, right? Like, why don't you tell everybody what the current pairing looks like? Okay, fine. For the sake of our little post-AV club, post-dezol, found family set up here. I suppose I can pull this together where you kind of screwed the whole plan up. Korean director Bong Joon Ho has had a long-running interest in films about family. From the murder mystery mother about an aging mom trying to clear her son's name after a homicide accusation,

to the Netflix movie Okja about a girl and her grandfather who've turned their genetically

modified super pig into a beloved family member. That obsession with family is mirrored in

two of Bong's best-known films, his international breakout the host, about a

family trying to rescue one of their own from a mutant monster, and his new film Parasite,
