[Spoiler Alert] In this episode of K-Drama School, Grace discusses the original Netflix series Kingdom (2018- ) written by Kim Eun-hee. She breaks down the zombie allegory in the context of South Korean history, politics and culture framed around the Cold War, while also citing films like Train to Busan, Seoul Station and The Wailing. What is a zombie supposed to be in South Korea? What about ancient Choson Dynasty Korea prior to the Cold War and the dividing of the Kingdom of Korea? Grace then has a chat with comedian guest Dan Telfer (@dantelfer). Dan was the senior editor of MAD Magazine. He also wrote for The Onion. He co-hosts the Dungeons and Dragons podcast. You can listen to his most recent comedy EP The Greater Chaotic Good. Grace and Dan talk about feral cats, why nerds are bullied in society, and what works and doesn't work when it comes to Kingdom.
