Bong Joon Ho’s hotly anticipated follow-up to the Best Picture-winning Parasite, Mickey 17, is finally here—so how’s the movie?
Schmear and Sena Adjei dig into the film landscape Mickey 17 arrives in, debate their favorite Bong Joon Ho movies, and talk about the allure of Robert Pattinson before diving into the film’s merits and drawbacks. They break down Pattinson’s performance, the cartoonish villains, and the political satire, before debating whether the film will age well and what it augurs for auteurs working at a blockbuster scale.
Then, Schmear and Alison Sivitz () return to The White Lotus to talk S3E4, “Hide or Seek,” arguably the season’s weakest episode so far—though not without its charms. They discuss the great setup but lack of payoff for the boat party and the ladies going off-hotel, Schmear rants about Rick’s stasis, and they consider how awful Gaitok is at his job before wrapping up with what’s ahead next week.
