Austin Wolf-SothernGUEST
Okay.
Austin Wolf-SothernGUEST
So every few months, Ryan and I have a text exchange where he asked me to name a couple movies and says that I'll be on soon.
Austin Wolf-SothernGUEST
And then he never sends that invite until October.
MikeHOST
He never sends these text messages to me either.
MikeHOST
So I don't know about any of these text messages.
MikeHOST
I never get any text messages from Ryan saying, Austin wants to do these movies.
MikeHOST
I send Mike text messages when
Ryan ShoemakerHOST
Austin texts me how mad he is.
Jay StringerHOST
not at all which is i'm going to come back to that a little bit because i think i think it's kind of relevant to why i partly why i probably love the movie so much um But yeah, so we've talked about the big movies.
Jay StringerHOST
La La Land and Moonlight were kind of the Manchester by the Sea.
Jay StringerHOST
It was kind of that year.
Jay StringerHOST
When it comes to South Korean movies, another bunch of great movies.
6 MINS LATER
Jay StringerHOST
I'm It seems like the older movies we do, I have very clear memories of when I came to them, how I came to them, where it fits into my development.
Jay StringerHOST
The more recent we get, the more I'm just like, I don't know, it came out in a year and I watched it.
Jay StringerHOST
For me, I think I may have even watched this on a recommendation from you or Or maybe you recommended The Yellow Sea to me and I watched The Yellow Sea and then watched the next thing he did.
Jay StringerHOST
Somewhere in there, I think.
Adam MyrosHOST
it's very high on my necessary to watch 2026 movies list uh because even people who don't like it are like it's insane i'm like well that's i like to see that
Jack EasonPANELIST
I feel like it's an unexpected film for now, but then I think it's actually somewhat like The Yellow Sea, his second movie that no one ever talks about, because I don't think it really got much of a release abroad.
Jack EasonPANELIST
But it's just kind of like a rolling, chaotic action spectacle.
Jake TropilaGUEST
Oh, yeah.
Johnny WolfensteinHOST
And real quick, I just want to say Na Hongjin, the director, is known for doing The Wailing from 2016, which is still one of my favorite movies that we've done on this show, probably top 10 since we started doing it.
Johnny WolfensteinHOST
And he also has done a few other highly... rated films he did The Chaser in 2008 and then The Yellow Sea in 2010 and then he went a few years until 2016 until he did The Wailing and now it's been another 10 years since his last film The Wailing and that's Hope
Michael Raven ShadowHOST
Jesus
Johnny WolfensteinHOST
yeah so I mean let's not wait 10 years dude although this I will say that this was the most expensive South Korean film
Honey RossHOST
Next up, we're talking about brand new Korean fantasy film, Hope.
Jonathan RossHOST
Hope's in cinemas now, and it's written and directed by Na Hong Jin, who did The Chaser, which is a film I really like, and The Wailing as well, which I love, and The Yellow Sea.
Jonathan RossHOST
And they're kind of like long films, not indulgent, but kind of like, you know, he takes his time.
Jonathan RossHOST
So I think he's used to an audience actually being prepared to wait to see what he has to say.
Chloe CadeHOST
So fucking excited for this one.
Chloe CadeHOST
So I watched Hope, directed by, uh, Na Hong- Jin, uh, who is most famous for The Wailing, uh, but on good authority from, uh, Ren from the Bog Frog Boys, uh, The Chaser and The Yellow Sea are also great.
Chloe CadeHOST
Uh, a trailer for this popped up at, like, I think just before Cannes to be like, "He's got a new movie.
Chloe CadeHOST
Also, Michael Fassbender's in it.
speaker_1HOST
He is a massive Cannes darling.
speaker_1HOST
He's the mastermind behind incredibly intense thrillers like The Chaser and the Yellow Sea.
speaker_0HOST
Which are both incredible, by the way.
speaker_1HOST
So good.
Damian AsherHOST
Um, uh, it's, it's absolutely brilliant.
Damian AsherHOST
Um, uh, the next film he did was The Yellow Sea two years later in 2010.
Damian AsherHOST
Um, and interestingly enough, both those films started, starred uh, uh, the same two sort of actors, Kim Yoon-seok and, uh, Ha Jung-woo.
Damian AsherHOST
Um, and I like both of them two guys.
Damian AsherHOST
They're brilliant.
Damian AsherHOST
Uh, and they work really well together.
Damian AsherHOST
Uh, The Yellow Sea's a really dark film about a, a Chinese-born...
Damian AsherHOST
Uh, sorry, a, a, yeah, a Chinese-born Korean who, uh, has, uh, wants to go back to Korea to try and find his wife, but then is, um, is asked to commit a murder in order to get the money because he has not got any money and...

Director Na Hong-jin took center stage at the 31st Busan International Film Festival, delivering a masterclass that pulled back the curtain on his unique creative process.
speaker_0HOST
Speaking without a moderator at Shinsegae Centum City in Haeundae, the acclaimed filmmaker behind movies like The Chaser, The Yellow Sea, and The Wailing revealed that he never starts a project without first feeling a sense of foreboding, something he describes as a vague unease about something that hasn't happened yet.
speaker_0HOST
He shared how his upcoming film, Hope, grew out of real anxieties he felt around the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics when fears about potential conflict on the Korean Peninsula weighed heavily on his mind.
speaker_0HOST
Na also opened up about his intensive research process, revealing he spent months living alongside shaman families in mountain hermitages while preparing The Wailing, and even traveled to Yanbian while developing The Yellow Sea, all in pursuit of authentic human complexity for his characters.
speaker_0HOST
Perhaps most strikingly, he confessed that post-production on Hope has already stretched beyond three years, explaining to fans that every stage of writing and filming ultimately exists in service of that crucial final phase, where he says taking enough time prevents filmmakers from, in his words, "hunting while already being hunted by the clock."

Singer Kim Nana just dropped her fourth single album, and it's a cozy little gem called @Bedroom.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Hello, everyone.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Before we go any further, just a quick announcement that next up we're going to be hearing from the director Na Hong-jin, who has also made The Chaser, 2008, The Yellow Sea, 2010, and most recently, The Wailing.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Way back in 2016, when some of us were content to whittle the days away playing Pokémon Go, athleisure was quickly making its way from the locker room to the boardroom, and scientists officially confirmed the first detection of gravitational waves, proving a major prediction of Einstein's theory of general relativity.
speaker_3NARRATOR
[laughs] Really? Okay.
