On the sixth episode of The Cinematic Odyssey, Max and Tristen discuss one of the greatest films of the 2010's: Parasite. In their conversation they go into detail about capitalism and how Bong Joon-ho masterfully crafts an exposé on its systematic failures. They discuss the shocking reveal that occurs in the middle of the film and how that dramatically changes the tone and direction of the themes. The film has been heralded as one of the best films of the past decade and it showcases the whole world of foreign cinema that casual American movie goers are missing out on.
On The Cinematic Odyssey podcast, your hosts and amateur film lovers Max Clark and Tristen Rodriguez take their film exploration beyond the blockbusters and through the art house sphere. We typically discuss the impact the film has had on us and the film world, memorable shots and the meaning behind certain narrative choices, and the design of the work from camera angles to costuming. With our own signature brand of humor and curiosity, follow our journeys and maybe take some recommendations home as we try to expand the mainstream recognition of great film.
