"You know what plan never fails? No plan at all... With no plan, nothing can go wrong, and if something spins out of control, it doesn't matter."
This is Podcorn Theology. On these episodes we invite our audience to watch a movie, then we turn on the microphones and engage that movie in theological discussion. On this episode, Peter and Miriam are joined by College Life Senior Kyle Jung to infiltrate Bong Joon-Ho's 2019 Best Picture Winner: Parasite. If you haven't seen it yet, and want to listen to this episode - a quick content warning: this movie is rated-R, and it deserves it. It is by no means a shining example of Christian ethics and might need to be avoided by more sensitive viewers. With that said, this movie is a masterpiece. Its themes of class, rich and poor, greed, hope / hopelessness, etc. and the symbols used to tell its story provide incredibly rich soil for theological discussion -- and we're here for it. This is a spoiler-FULL podcast, so best to watch it before you listen! Let us know who won the scene and the symbol competition!
