| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to Slash Film Daily. Today is Thursday, March 6th, 2025. On today's |
| 0:05.1 | episode of the show, we're going to be ranking the films of director Bong Joon Ho. My name is Ben Pearson. |
| 0:09.6 | I'm an editor at SlashFilm.com, and I'm joined on today's episode by Slash Film Editor, B.J. Kalangelo. |
| 0:14.4 | Hi, hi, hi. All right, BJ, we are finally on the eve of the release of Mickey 17, which is Bong Jo's follow-up to Parasite. |
| 0:23.7 | It is a long-awaited movie. Parasite came out back in 2019, and we've been waiting on this film |
| 0:29.7 | for a long time. It got bumped and delayed and all of that kind of stuff, but it is finally |

| 1:18.0 | It would have been after the host came out. |
| 1:21.0 | So this would have put me in my late teens. |
| 1:24.3 | And I just remember being very blown away by that movie. And it's also kind of what got me |
| 1:30.2 | into a lot of Korean horror and a lot of Korean cinema. He was definitely my gateway into that |
