63: Take My Advice You'd Be Better Off Dead
from The End of the World with Michael and Stu
This week we are looking at Train to Busan, a 2016 film directed by Yeon Sang-ho. It's a zombie apocalypse movie set on a train moving from the South Korean capital of Seoul to the southern city of Busan. We get into the film's historical overtones, as well as the family drama that plays out amid this unfolding horror show. We open the episode with a discussion of the economic turmoil unleashed by the announcement of Donald Trump's tariff regime. Does the fact that the tariff rates seem to have been (possibly) calculated by a large language model bode well for our future or ill? It's hard to say!This episode contains spoilers for Train to Busan.
