The beloved Bong Joon-ho is finally back in cinemas after his global success with Parasite<\/em>, and to help us celebrate Mickey 17<\/em>, we invited Vulture film critic Bilge Ebiri to discuss director Bong’s divisive Snowpiercer<\/em>. Based on a French graphic novel, the film casts a global set of stars as the occupants of a train in the future whose segments are divided by class. The film was director Bong’s first foray into (mostly) English language filmmaking and became a cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre for film critics and fans alike upon its delayed release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about the last gasp of Harvey Scissorhands that delayed its American release and the film’s place as one of the first examples of day-and-date release. We also talk about Tilda Swinton’s place in the supporting actress race, Chris Evans vs. Ryan Gosling, and the film’s vision in creating each of the train’s distinct sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include recent Sundance piracy, Netflix DVDs, and “babies taste best.”<\/p>\n
