#60 Parasite - UW Film Club Podcast

Published: Dec. 4, 2019, midnight

b'"You know what kind of podcast never fails? No podcast. No podcast at all."\\n\\nIt\'s our last episode of the Autumn 2019 quarter, and to celebrate, we\'re talking about what we (and the general public) agree is easily one of the best films of the year, Bong Joon Ho\'s Parasite! Hilarious, yet heartbreaking, absurd, yet grounded, Parasite explores class dynamics through an original and self-reflective lens, as we see the film\'s terrifying villain in its true form - ignorance. In this podcast, we talk about its realistic portrayal of class-based struggles, its mainstream success & Western comedic sensibilities, and, of course, the Oscars. Do you have a plan to listen to this episode? If you do, great, but if you don\'t, check out Parasite in theaters, and then listen to our *spoiler-filled* 60th episode of the UW Film Club Podcast! \\n\\nOn this episode: Cynthia Li, Jim Saunders, Piper Coyner, and Jenny Simms\\n\\nYou can find us on Facebook at /UWFilmClub, and on Twitter and Instagram @FilmClubUW.
