#109: Pulgasari (1985)

from Blade Licking Thieves · host Zen

We're kicking off the new year with a review of the North Korean monster movie, Pulgasari (1985), in which a Godzilla like creature from Korean folklore fights with a peasant army to topple a corrupt feudal regime.  We also recount the far more fascinating story of the film's production, a stranger than fiction tale involving international kidnappings, daring escape attempts, and dictator Kim Jong-Il's bizarre quest to bolster the North Korean film industry. Timestamps: [00:00] Intro + Hakaider, Garo, and Flip Flappers [24:45] Review - Pulgasari
