Academy-award winning director Bong Joon-Ho made a genre-bending adaptation of Jacques Lob & Jean-Marc Rochette\u2019s Le Transperceneige, AKA \u201cSnowpiercer: The Escape,\u201d and the result is really something to behold. In episode 144, join Luke & James as they climb aboard and discuss both the nihilistic source and the high-octane adaptation.
