Listen "EPISODE 6: MICKEY-17"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Crouch Cinema Corner, we dive into the quirky, chaotic, and curiously charming world of Mickey-17, Bong Joon Ho’s long-awaited return to the big screen!Based on the novel Mickey7, this nearly-original sci-fi flick stars Robert Pattinson—and, uh, also Robert Pattinson—as an “expendable” clone sent on a dangerous planetary colonization mission… again and again and again. Is it action? Is it comedy? Is it existential crisis in space? Yup!We chat about the movie's bumpy release history, its wacky tone, and why Mickey Barnes (a.k.a. Mickey 17) might be the galaxy’s most lovable Muppet-voiced misfit. We also get into some juicy behind-the-scenes drama, give our honest star ratings (spoiler: we had fun), and ask the big questions—like what if the Expendables showed up in the third act?From laugh-out-loud absurdity to narrative whiplash, we cover it all—including our takes on Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, and how many unfinished story threads are too many.If you like original sci-fi with heart, humour, and a hint of chaos, give this one a go—and join us for the ride!🎧 Tune in, bring your clone, and hit that red button (spoiler - it does nothing).
