Summary

Ronny Chieng unpacks former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s abduction and first day in court, where he and his wife got some good couples time pleading not guilty to cocaine trafficking charges. Meanwhile, MAGA attempts to justify Trump’s intervention by downplaying the episode, citing Christianity, and downright playing the bully. The latest scientific studies show that microplastics are in just about everything, and we’re ingesting them at an alarming rate. Thankfully, there’s a new product that's sure to help us take advantage of all the plastic we’re downing each day — eventually. Legendary Korean filmmaker, Director Park Chan-wook, sits down with Ronny Chieng (without any translation help from Ken Jeong) to discuss his new film, “No Other Choice,” which he adapted from an American novel. They discuss what attracted him to this story, which follows a devoted company man who is fired and directs his rage toward his competitors on the job market, and the similarities between the plot and his own 15-year struggle to get the film made. He also reflects on why Korean directors are so adept at satirizing capitalism and how the demise of movie theaters is the biggest threat to filmmaking.
