Summary
Today Griffey and Dandino fight to save what little we have from a Mutant Fish Creature in The Host. They dive deep into the film's incredible Monster introduction set piece, how Bong Joon Ho uses everyday life to sink his fangs into the audience more than the monster, and the film's suprisingly funny tonality. This movie was an early harbinger of the amazing work we all had in store from a now master of Modern Messed Up cinema. Synopsis: A monster emerges from Seoul's Han River and begins attacking people. One victim's loving family does what it can to rescue her from its clutches. Starring: Song Kang-Ho, Byun Hee-Bong, Park Hae-il Directed by Bong Joon Ho Youtube: https://youtu.be/WPSpT1TRby8 Keep up with all the news on our first feature film Mr. Creamjeans' Hidey Hole as it is about to premiere this month at Fantastic Fest: https://www.misfitparade.com/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
