25: Chan-wook Chads

In this episode, we dive into the twisted world of Park Chan-wook's films. From Oldboy's infamous octopus scene to the unusual eroticism of The Handmaiden, we'll explore all the blood, sweat, and tears (mostly blood) that make his movies so unforgettable. So grab a bottle of soju, buckle up, and get ready for a wild ride through one of the most twisted minds in cinema history. It's like a park, but instead of swings and slides, there's murder and revenge.
