About this listen

South Korean director Bong Joon Ho received so much acclaim for "Parasite" (2019) that expectations were high for his English-language, science fiction film "Mickey 17." In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano acknowledge that the film has a nifty premise involving Robert Pattinson as a lowly employee on a distant space station whose dangerous work frequently gets him killed, "reborn" through 3D printing, and sent out on the next dangerous job. Our critics became increasingly impatient with this film, however, owing to its strained comedy and excessive running time.

Marie and Mike also were disappointed by "Snow White." Starring Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot and Andrew Burnap, this is a live-action remake of Disney's 1937 animated classic. The latest version's mix of memorable old songs and mediocre new songs is emblematic of why you would be better off watching the original film again.
