“I was browsing reviews of Minari and gave this podcast a try. I was so incredibly disappointed. Not only was the film commentary extremely shallow, within a span of 20 min the female host managed to make 3 ignorant or racist remarks. First, that the film was nominated for a golden globe as a ‘diversity pick’. Really classy. Then proceeded to call Steven Yeun’s character Glen the whole time (not necessarily racist, but extremely lazy. Seriously, is a google search that hard?) and then generalized her stint teaching in Korea to all the behaviors of the family in the movie. Even if you’re a fan of the friendly banter in this podcast, be careful the voices you choose to listen to. Conscious or not, words matter and based on this episode and other reviews these hosts don’t seem to take that responsibility very seriously. Don’t waste your time here and find more thoughtful sources for your film review needs.”
