Get ready for some of the lowest functioning addicts in the history of high-powered alcoholism.
Sara and Rena are joined by the amazing cartoonist and South Korea expert Ryan Estrada, who schools us up on the astonishingly dysfunctional and corrupt administration of South Korean president Park Chung-hee, who was assassinated by his own men in 1979 as part of a ill-thought-out coup.
We discuss the uniquely political South Korean filmmaking scene, our K-Pop overlords, what you see at the most depressing dinner parties, and our delight at this gem of a film.
The President’s Last Bang is directed by Im Sang-Soo and stars Baek Yoon-sik, Han Suk-kyu, Song Jae-ho, Kim Eung-soo, Kim Yoon-ah, Lee Soo-mi and future Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung.
Spoiler Warning: We spoil everything. And we enjoy it.
