Story x Story #159: Peaches & C.R.E.A.M (Parasite)

This week, Nigel and Tazziii examine socioeconomic constructs while avoiding peaches as they do a deep dive into the Academy Award winning film Parasite (starting at 25:20). This meticulously constructed work masterfully explores many meaningful themes and symbols as it juggles genre and tone so well throughout. It tackles topics from wealth disparity to the challenges of upward social mobility, all communicated through dialogue and visuals. We also investigate why this non-English language film resonated with a global audience. This week's storytelling tip is all about using symbols and motifs to reinforce your themes. Other stories we're enjoying include: L'etreinte, One Piece, One Punch Man, Power Book IV Force TV Show, Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty, Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, My Happy Marriage, Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, Attack On Titan, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, Haikyuu!!, Beckham
