What’s Korean Cinema? 8: The Berlin File & The Tower

wkc08

Tune into a bit of a cut & paste episode this time around. A formal introduction is missing, we cut right to Stewart discussing the Terracotta Far East Film Festival with Phil Newton of Chris and Phil Presents. We switch across to Stew and Andy discussing their attendance to the Edinburgh International Film Festival seeing The Berlin File, giving their spoiler free opinion on the flick. Extending the hour we drop in a long overdue bonus discussion on The Tower. Stick around for a tale of careless drinking and big dicks!?

What’s Korean Cinema? 4: Castaway On The Moon (2009)

Temporarily aborting Stoo’s ongoing series of examining beloved Korean cinema of his, Ken jumps in to provide his picks but now it’s open season on What’s Korean Cinema. Meaning the obscure and underrated will get its chance to shine whether deserved or not. 2009’s Castaway On The Moon fully deserves it though and helping Ken with the discussion of director Lee Hae-joon and his actors is Paul Quinn from Hangul Celluloid and Rufus L de Rham of cineAWESOME!

This podcast also marks the official contribution by the Podcast On Fire Network to the 2012 Korean Blogathon by New Korean Cinema and cineAWESOME! so look out for that starting March 5th!
