Summary

Park Chan-Wook’s loosely-linked “Vengeance Trilogy” comes to a starkly satisfying end with 2005’s LADY VENGEANCE - a normal flick…that’s all we have to say! Just kidding - we have LOTS to say about this one, with its stacked cast of lady convicts and grief-stricken parents. Our beloved Karen Han returns to the pod to correct our terrible Korean pronunciations and to tell us about “Jump Like A Witch” - a Korean reality series wherein famous female celebrities attempt to form a basketball team. Plus - it should surprise no one that this episode contains plenty of Pirates of the Caribbean discussion.

1:02.0	Or is it a meal and a bunch of side dishes as per Korean tables usually?

1:22.0	There'll be a couple of big dishes like maybe fish or something like that.
1:26.0	But the big thing, it's like whenever you go to Korean barbecue, you know where there's a bunch of little plates out on the table.
1:30.0	Like that's the deal. You have a bunch of little plates that you can eat with the main course and with your rice.
1:36.0	It's a good way to eat.
