167 - Colony REVIEW! Train to Busan with sticky zombies
from Two Asian Blokes · host Danh and Thavy
Two Asian Blokes Podcast returns with a review of one of our most anticipated South Korean films of the year: Colony.From director Yeon Sang-ho, the filmmaker behind Train to Busan, Colony assembles an incredible cast including Jun Ji-hyun, Ji Chang-wook, Koo Kyo-hwan, Shin Hyun-been, and Go Soo for some sticky zombie action. Expectations were high... perhaps dangerously high.In this episode, we discuss what worked, what didn't, and whether Colony is able to set itself apart from Yeon Sang-ho's much-loved magnum opus. We also spend some time talking about one of our favourite recurring features of South Korean cinema: deliciously unlikeable bureaucrats. Whether they're covering things up, making catastrophically bad decisions, or confidently marching everyone towards disaster, Korean films have a remarkable talent for making government officials spectacularly frustrating. We discuss how Colony fits into that tradition and whether its portrayal of bureaucracy reflects broader anxieties about institutions and public trust.Is Colony the next great South Korean genre film, or does it struggle to escape the shadow of Train to Busan?Whether you're a fan of Korean cinema, science fiction, creature features, or Yeon Sang-ho's unique brand of social commentary, we've got you covered.🔔 SUBSCRIBE to Two Asian Blokeshttps://www.youtube.com/@twoasianblokes?sub_confirmation=100:00 Introduction – Thavy Got High and Watched Obsession08:20 Hope Interview Controversy – Forgetting the Korean Actors12:26 Colony (2025) Spoiler-Free Review15:32 Colony Plot & Sci-Fi Premise18:22 Sticky Zombies?
