Summary

This week, you on the free feed are getting a little treat here. We've been wanting to talk about Bong Joon Ho's Parasite for some time now, but we've never felt like we could do it alone. We've always been hunting for that perfect guest to survive the KJB Gauntlet where we invite learned academics on and then absolutely refuse to let them get a word in edgewise for anywhere up to two hours. This week, we are delighted to say that the gauntlet is being run by Olfactory Ethicist Dr Ally Louks! If you've not long since abandoned X dot com the everything app, you'll be familiar with Dr Louks and her particular area of expertise on scent as a class marker in literature, and indeed, more widely, in everything else too. Parasite itself is a movie about a rich family and a poor family. Class relations are a difficult thing to untangle, and this resulted in some viewers having trouble figuring out who exactly the titular 'parasite' is. We... have some theories. ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. As a ceasefire has been announced, we hope soon plenty of Aid can get in and help alleviate the dire famine they're being subjected to. But until then, they still have to afford to eat, so we ask for you to keep helping them out, just a little longer. https://www.gofundme.com/f/a8jzz-help-me-and-my-family-get-out-of-the-gaza-strip https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-and-my-family-to-find-a-safe-place https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-maher-and-my-family-to-leave-gaza-to-belgium https://www.gofundme.com/f/htdcj-evacuating-my-family-from-gaza https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate ----- This is an unlocked bonus episode, find the rest here, on our reasonably-priced patreon!https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ WEB DESIGN ALERT Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).
