Listen "Kim Jong Il and Pulgasari (1985)"
Episode Synopsis
This week on the podcast the guys are covering the North Korean Kaiju film Pulgasari (1985) and it's connection to the real life abduction of South Korean director Shin Sang-ok and his wife Choi Eun-hee by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il between 1978 and 1986. An interesting yet sad story capped off by one of the strangest and most North Korean-ish monster movies to be put to celluloid. The guys touch on Kim Jong Il's history as a cine-file and some of his reported favourite films. The Jack Nicholson / Michelle Pfeiffer werewolf movie was strangely not mentioned..
