Description

In our third episode, we attempt to analyze the critically acclaimed movie "Parasite" directed by -Bong Joon-ho. This movie is famous for its satire on the pervasiveness of greed and class discrimination in today's society and its success during the 2019 Academy Awards (Oscar). So to help us embark on this epic undertaking we bring over a friend of ours — Rahul Shakya. Join us as we over-analyse posters, cockroaches and vertical lines and discuss how they make Parasite stand-out.


Also, lets not forget: Spoilers for the movie in this episode.
