On my first time out as a commercial fisherman, my boat sank, my captain died, and I was left adrift and alone in the Pacific. This article was featured in the One Story to Read Today newsletter. Sign up for it here. The Evening was small in the shadow of the other boats. When I arrived at the dock, it was well past midnight, and a misty rain was falling—the edge of a storm far out at sea. Mick, the captain, was blunt and salty; not old, but weathered. He led me on board and pointed down the l

After director Bong Joon Ho won multiple Oscars for Parasite, he could’ve done anything. Made any movie he wanted. And the movie he chose was about a man who continues to die and be cloned, finding himself in the middle of a socio-political firestorm about cuddly alien slugs. Mickey 17 was released earlier this year and kind of tanked at the box office, which is a shame. It’s incredibly unique, weird, and infinitely watchable. A fact pretty much the entire world who didn’t see it in theaters can

Mickey 17 had a lot of pre-release excitement behind it. Despite delays en route to theaters, fans were eagerly anticipating Bong Joon Ho’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning triumph Parasite, especially since it was a sci-fi tale starring various versions of Robert Pattinson. When Mickey 17 arrived on March 7, however, audiences and critics alike were surprised by a film that had some fun elements but ultimately felt weighed down by political metaphor. And it didn’t exactly set the box office on f

Wow, it’s so edgy and shocking to see children’s characters used for cash grab entertainment thanks to the public domain. The tired gimmick is back in the “dark domain,” which is one production company’s twist on getting their grubby hands on Disney or other cartoon IP (Popeye was another recent one) to exploit stupidly and violently for the sake of getting to do it first, over any sort of sincere, genuine, and/or creative substance. So naturally here’s Winnie the Pooh versus Steamboat Willie(d

Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-Ho returns to the big screen this weekend with the sci-fi film Mickey 17. If you're expecting the subtly devastating social commentary of his 2019 drama/horror/thriller-hybrid Parasite, I suspect you'll be disappointed. Mickey 17 is a very different beast in both aesthetic and tone. When the first trailer dropped, I wrote that the film felt like a darkly comedic version of Duncan Jones' 2009 film Moon, with a dash of the surreal absurdity of Terry Gilliam's Brazi

The well-deserved hat trick that director Bong Joon Ho pulled off at the Oscars in 2020 with Parasite all but ensured that studios would fight tooth and nail to back his next cinematic project. It was always going to be difficult for Bong to top what he accomplished with Parasite — a shapeshifting masterpiece of storytelling that spok

So how, exactly, do you make a new human? No, sicko. We don’t mean that. We mean in the context of Bong Joon Ho’s latest, Mickey 17. In the film, Robert Pattinson plays Mickey, a human “expendable” who is brought back to life, over and over, after he dies. How does that work? A new book shows you, in more ways than one. Mickey is brought back to life via a human printer, which is exactly what it sounds like. A giant printer that, instead of pieces of paper, prints out humans. It’s one of severa
