Podculture: Daily staffers discuss Parasite, Watchmen

Directed by Bong Joon-ho, “Parasite” is a brutally dark satire of wealth inequality and one of the most acclaimed films of the year. The film follows a struggling family as they scam their way into the lives of a much richer one, with comedic but ultimately tragic results. The movie was the recipient of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Created by Damon Lindelof and based on the acclaimed ‘80s mini series from Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and John Higgins, “Watchmen” reimagines the world of the comic book in the modern day and tackles some of the most pressing issues of our time. The TV series takes place in a world where cops wear masks on duty, and follows Regina King as police officer Angela Abar. She fights the reemergence of a white supremacist force in her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The series reimagines the mythology of the comic book in the modern day.
