From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

The new movie Minari is a personal story from filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung.

It's about a Korean-American family struggling to run a small Arkansas farm in the 1980s.

Chung assured his parents that the characters in the film were not actually them,

that they weren't entirely convinced.

You know, they could see that I was getting a trailer home that looked remarkably like the one

that we grew up in. You know, there were two kids, the parents, the grandmother, all these different

elements that were unmistakably from our lives. So I just lived in that space of terror for a while.

Out of that terror has emerged a Sundance Award winner and a major contender in this year's

awards race. Chung tells us why he thought Minari was going to be the last script he'd ever

write before leaving the industry entirely. He's joined by Christina O, the producer at Plan

B Entertainment, who read Chung's script and fell for it.

They talk about the lightning fast timeline to get Minari made and remember an emotional premiere

that had their parents bonding in Park City.

But first on the news banter, Paramount Plus launches and what's old is new again.

Stay tuned, it's the business from KCRW.

I am joined by my companion in banter, Matt Bellany. Hello, Matt. Hi there. So Paramount

Plus has now been unveiled. What was CBS All Access is now joined together under the roof of CBS and Viacom.

They have unveiled the service. I have to note that this announcement is about so much stuff that is not really original.

They are really going into the vaults and redoing so many titles that it's almost like, is there

anything that they actually failed to tap? Of course, there's going to be SpongeBob, but inside

Amy Schumer is back. They are redoing Frazier with Kelsey Grammer, not with Niles, I will note,
