DanHOST
Last time, Sarah, we dipped our toe into the MCU with Ant Guy.
DanHOST
This week, we're hitting the bong and tackling a giant mutated fish thing with The Host.
SarahHOST
We're hitting a bong?
DanHOST
We're hitting a bong.
SarahHOST
He does not, no.
SarahHOST
He, he's gone from being in a film called Monster to being in a film about a monster.
DanHOST
I thought you was gonna say in a film where he is the monster, 'cause he's the catalyst for this, this character in, in The Host in the opening scene.
SarahHOST
He's not a great dude.
TosinHOST
oh man Sean I really wish you'd seen this movie I'd love to I'd love to but
Sean HarrisHOST

TosinHOST
anyway
Sean HarrisHOST
anyway let's not go there i'm still angry i don't get angry very often but Well, I do get angry quite often in movies.
TosinHOST
And it's annoying.
Sean HarrisHOST
I've just got to do real quick.
Sean HarrisHOST
I'm just going to give you about four more films
TosinHOST
that I've watched
JezHOST
Is the, um, is, I want to see the one about the octopus or whatever that comes out of the water.
JezHOST
The Host.
JezHOST
Is that
DanGUEST
good? I watched it last night.
21 MINS LATER
JezHOST
It kind of just sort of took me out of the movie.
JezHOST
Um, this movie though is absolutely fantastic.
JezHOST
And I'm, as I was saying earlier, like I want to see that, um, the one with the octopus, which I just forgot the name of again, the host.
JezHOST
Um, yeah.
Justin KyleGUEST
I dunno.
Justin KyleGUEST
So yeah, uh, the next one is The Host from 2006.
Justin KyleGUEST
This is Bong Joon Ho.
Shawn MorrisseyHOST
Mm.
Shawn MorrisseyHOST
Oh, did he?
Justin KyleGUEST
Yeah.
Shawn MorrisseyHOST
For The Host?
Justin KyleGUEST
Yeah.
Dustin LollarHOST
The movie, right? We're talking the movie? The movie, not the series, yeah.
Dustin LollarHOST
Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, directed by Bong Joon-ho, the same guy that did Parasite and The Host.
Dustin LollarHOST
Really good movie.
Dustin LollarHOST
Cool concept.
ArthurHOST
I think They Live goes in here pretty easily as well, and so I think we would just spend a lot of time thinking about the social satire and the commentary on, uh, culture and on, uh, community.
ArthurHOST
Uh, but heck, I think we could even go into, uh, look at The Host or Parasite as well.
DaltonHOST
Absolutely.
ArthurHOST
Uh, get into some Bong Joon Ho, uh, a- and have some fun with that in regards to, uh, satire as well.
TomHOST
I am Tom.
DamoHOST
And for this episode, we watched The Host.
DamoHOST
[dramatic music] The Host is a 2006 South Korean monster film directed and co-written by Bong Joon Ho.
DamoHOST
When a teenage girl is captured by a giant mutated squid-like creature that appears from Seoul's Han River after toxic waste was dumped in, it prompts her family into a frantic search for her.
SeanHOST
Not just any toxic waste, boys.
SeanHOST
... which he does-
DamoHOST
I wanna come back to that, yeah
SeanHOST
... big time in The Host, big time in Parasite.
DanHOST
We did.
DanHOST
Then The Host.
SarahHOST
Mm-hmm.
DanHOST
Then Tiptoes.
Shahir D'SouzaHOST
And I love this middle section which we quoted scatologically from, uh, which has, like, these sort of really slow burn reveals, and it reminded me of like, "Oh, Na Jong- Na Hong-jin is a really great storytelling director." You know, so, like, he might be branching out into a big action trope.
Shahir D'SouzaHOST
He, you know, you know, in, in many ways, kinda like Bong Joon who did with the host, um, you know, uh, here.
Shahir D'SouzaHOST
Uh, but he, what he's really good at is crafting storytelling around the...
Shahir D'SouzaHOST
And I, and I, I kinda loved all that stuff.
9 MINS LATER
Shahir D'SouzaHOST
[laughs]
Matthew CrowleHOST
... and catch up quickly? Like, i- is that possible?
Shahir D'SouzaHOST
I, I will just point to the most, one of the most popular Korean monster movies of all time is The Host, which is a film where the internal conflicts of the th- of the th- main family is reflected in what the monster is.
Matthew CrowleHOST
I, I...
