We return to the Directors cycle on the Uncut Network with the first two part episode in a while, but he more than deserves such a treatment.
Rob is joined by Rabia (RPISH) and Ygraine (What A Scream) to talk about one of Korea’s greatest ever cinematic exports, Park Chan Wook. This first episode is focusing primarily on the Vengeance trilogy, specifically the landmark success that was OldBoy and perenially slept on Lady Vengeance. Along the way we also talk about Park Chan Wook’s sense of style, his evasion of easy answers and how the OldBoy remake was so bad it became openly racist… Oof.
There are some technical gremlins in this edit, I tried multiple versions and they where all infected. But worry not they won’t affect the listening experience of this episode too badly. And if you do enjoy this episode, which should be pretty easy as its great, you can get more of the same over on PATREON. We have our spin off podcast, Uncut from the Video Aisle, which is in the middle of a mini-series about Hong Kong favourite, Mr Vampire. And there’s also our monthly check in podcast, Last Night.
the Uncut Network is on Amazon Music, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts
