WHO WANTS TO HIRE LINDA TO WRITE THE SEQUEL? Judy and Linda absolutely loved "KPop Demon Hunters" (케이팝 데몬 헌터스), starring Arden Cho, May Hong, Yoo JiYoung and Ahn HyoSeop.

Digressions:

0:56 - Listener E-mails!

10:38 - Judy watched season 2 of "The Devil's Plan" (데블스 플랜), and was annoyed by most of it, but especially furious about the ending.

14:18 - Linda is making the most of her Apple TV+ subscription by watching "The Buccaneers", which is about a group of American debutantes marrying up in the British upper class.

17:41 - "The Blue Castle" a rom-com novel written by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It's a delightful story about an "old maid" finding her own power and rediscovering happiness in her life. You can find it free online at the Gutenberg Project.

21:01 - "Good Boy" (굿보이) is the latest Park BoGum drama, about athletes who have been recruited into the police force. It's surprisingly violent, so beware!

24:39 - Judy's current video game is a fantasy RPG called "Avowed". The writing is good, the gameplay is fine, but the main draw is Brandon Keener, who played Judy's boyfriend in the "Mass Effect" series.

IF YOU DIDN'T CRY, YOU'RE A MONSTER. Judy and Linda give up on trying not to cry through their discussion of the latter half of "When Life Gives You Tangerines" (폭삭 속았수다), starring IU, Park BoGum, Moon SoRi and Park HaeJoon.

Our next episode will cover KPop Demon Hunters, an animated movie coming out on Netflix on June 20! It stars Arden Cho and Ahn HyoSeop. Are you excited for Linda's incandescent rage? Judy is!

"Etoile", a "Gilmore Girls"-esque show set in New York and Paris.

19:35 - Judy is playing "It Takes Two", a fun co-op puzzle platformer game. It's basically like "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", if you remember that 1989 gem.

FYI - I CRIED EDITING THIS. Judy and Linda try not to outright sob through their discussion of "When Life Gives You Tangerines" (폭삭 속았수다), starring IU, Park BoGum, Moon SoRi and Park HaeJoon.

Digressions:

0:57 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mails!

12:21 - Judy watched "Twisters", starring Glen Powell and Kiernan Shipka. It just didn't have the same charm as the 1996 film. Boo.

14:20 - Linda was surprisingly absorbed by "1883" and "1923", prequels to "Yellowstone". Who knew she would be so into Westerns?

18:08 - Judy read "Convenience Store Woman" by Sayaka Murata and was fascinated by the POV of the main character and her unusual way of dealing with the pressure to conform in society.

20:30 - Judy watched "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" and couldn't believe she slept through the climax. Yikes.

HOW CAN A DRAMA GO FROM BEING TEDIOUS IN THE FIRST HALF TO DEVASTATING IN THE LATTER HALF. Judy and Linda watched "Melo Movie" (멜로무비), a Netflix drama starring Choi WooSik, Park BoYoung, Lee JunYoung, Jeon SoNee and Kim JaeWook.

Digressions:

0:46 - Listener E-mails!

17:28 - Judy is playing "Dragon Age: The Veilguard", but isn't romancing anybody! So far, the story feels a bit nebulous, but the gameplay feels great and she's enjoying it! Judy uses the wrong pronouns for the character of Taash, because she hasn't gotten to the point in the game where they confirms their pronouns as they/them. Sorry!

21:56 - Linda was hooked by the end of the first episode of "Paradise", starring James Marsden and has binged the entire first season! Check it out!

24:57 - Judy watched "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep" animated film on Netflix, and it was goofy fun but we were not expecting straight up Little Mermaid.

27:04 - Linda watched "THE MOON" (더문) starring D.O. about a lone astronaut who survives a disaster on the moon.

Some Korean terms:

솔의 눈: [sol-eui-noon] pine bud;

Audio clips:

Hans Zimmer - "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" - "Dragon Age: The Veilguard Main Theme"

Siddhartha Khosla - "Paradise" - "Welcome to Paradise"

TIME FOR FIRST IMPRESSIONS IN WINTER 2025!

Judy and Linda watched "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" (중증외상센터), "The Trunk" (트렁크), "When the Phone Rings" (지금 거신 전화는), and "The Queen Who Crowns" (원경).

We will start covering "Melo Movie" (멜로무비) starring Choi WooSik and Park BoYoung in March. Hope it's good!

Digressions:

1:18 - Listener E-mails!

4:27 - Judy watched "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent", starring Nicholas Cage and Pedro Pascal. It was a delightful meta action comedy, and you should check it out!

5:52 - Linda watched Part 2 of "Alienoid" (외계+인), and found a massive plot hole.

7:54 - Judy finished playing "Baldur's Gate 3" and is suffering from post-game depression once more. Time to catch up on the jillion games on her backlog!

9:51 - Linda watched the second season of "Night Agent" on Netflix, which is good to have on in the background.

11:59 - "When the Phone Rings" (지금 거신 전화는) is an MBC drama starring Yoo YeonSeok and Chae SooBin. Some things definitely work better as a webtoon.

31:04 - "The Queen Who Crowns" (원경) is a tvN drama starring Cha JooYoung and Lee HyunWook. The first episode is definitely scattered and hard to follow, but it shows much promise in terms of exploring the story of a very influential queen in Korean history.

42:19 - "The Trunk" (트렁크) is a Netflix drama starring Gong Yoo and Seo HyunJin. This one is weird, but we liked it?

49:55 - "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" (중증외상센터) is a Netflix drama, starring Ju JiHoon. Just don't take it too seriously.

Audio clips:

Mark Isham - "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" - "Score Suite"

이병훈 (Lee ByungHoon) - "외계+인" (Alienoid) - "외계인" (Alien 1)

Borislav Slavov - "Baldur's Gate 3" - "Main Theme Part I"

Robert Duncan - "Night Agent" - "End Credits"

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PLAN HERE. Judy and Linda discuss season 2 of "Squid Game" (오징어게임), starring Lee JungJae and Lee ByungHun.

Next episode will be a First Impressions with "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call" (중증외상센터), "The Trunk" (트렁크), "When the Phone Rings" (지금 거신 전화는), and "The Queen Who Crowns" (원경).

Digressions:

0:52 - Judy has finally acquired a can of pine drink (솔의눈) and we drank it! Our first attempt at ASMR!

9:08 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mails!

17:44 - "Borderlands" movie is irredeemably awful, and Judy can't figure out who is was made for, other than the actors who were extremely bored during the pandemic.

21:12 - Gasp! Linda watched "Revenant" (악귀) starring Kim TaeRi? New horizons have opened up!

24:02 - "Gladiator II" was so disappointing. If you have such an uncharismatic lead character, who am I supposed to root for? Judy is mad that there isn't enough Pedro Pascal.

29:03 - Linda finally watched "Mister Sunshine" (미스터 션샤인) and found it to be beautiful but long.

32:40 - Judy's new dinnertime show is "White Collar", starring Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay.

34:50 - Linda watched "Blitz" starring Saoirse Ronan on Apple TV, which is excellent for historical reference but aimless as a film.

37:55 - Judy started playing "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle", and is thrilled that she gets to be the whip-cracking archaeologist.

40:47 - Linda watched Part 1 of "Alienoid" (외계+인), and found it...interesting.

OKGYEONG, HOW COULD YOU. Judy and Linda are flabbergasted by the choices in episodes 9-12 of "Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born" (정년이), starring Kim TaeRi, Jung EunChae, Shin YeEun and Ra MiRan.

TW: suicide attempt

Digressions:

1:01 - The political situation in Korea, at time of recording (December 13)

4:54 - Linda watched "1987: When The Day Comes", which feels apropos at this time. Remember history, people!

6:37 - Judy is loving the second season of "Arcane" on Netflix. Even if you know nothing about League of Legends videogame, you won't regret checking out this beautiful work of animation.

8:47 - Linda finished rewatching "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (25, 21) and finally understands why they broke up in the end!

11:11 - Judy watched the Netflix series, "Bodies", a sci-fi thriller that starts off really cool, but why do they always aim for a second season that they're probably not gonna get?

14:02 - Linda watched "Wicked", and there's no doubt that the songs are great, but 3 hours for part 1? Yikes.

JEONGNYEON, NO. JEONGNEYON, YES. Judy and Linda yelled at the screen so much during episodes 5-8 of "Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born" (정년이), starring Kim TaeRi, Jung EunChae, Shin YeEun and Ra MiRan.

Digressions:

0:51 - Listener E-mails!

11:52 - Linda is re-watching "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (스물다섯, 스물하나). Should she finally finish "Mister Sunshine" (미스터션샤인)?

12:30 - Judy watched "Batman: The Caped Crusader" on Prime, and it was reminiscent of the great "Batman: The Animated Series" from the 90s, but with a modern take.
