Jung Ho-yeon, the girl from Squid Game, has become the biggest Korean actress on Instagram, gaining 15 million followers in one week 🤣 She’s also the new face of Louis Vuitton. Talk about killing it.
I always enjoy all of your podcasts with Ed, especially your guys’ movie reviews. I am a person who enjoys the breakdowns of films and how they impact an audience and as individuals, and what the film wants us to think about or what they want to speak about. I feel like I gain such new perspectives when I get to hear your discussions and when you tell your personal stories. You guys together never disappoint whether it’s an episode that’s more lighthearted or one that has more emotional content.
Just finished watching Blue Bayou and man, what a rollercoaster. The fact that this is based off real events and stories is truly heartbreaking. Justin Chon really knows how to get you emotionally invested in films
I just rewatched Blue Bayou again 😭. It really awesome how when I rewatched it i notice the small detailed info that you have mentioned. Really appreciate it
These podcasts help me out in work, I'd listen to music but it turns into replaying so many of the same songs. So listening to these podcasts help me power through work. Especially since they are an hour or longer so ill listen to 8-9 a day! Your jokes make me laugh and coworkers look at me so weird. 🤣🤣 Keep it up David!
I just came from the Spotify podcast, and it’s been a minute since you posted an emotional podcast… dude I’m at work trying not to cry David, wtf 🥺😭🤧 I gotta watch it for sure
There's a movie called Wind River starring Jeremy Renner and Elizibeth Olsen; it's not about Asian Americans it's about Native Americans. It does the same thing where the movie sheds light on this dark reality in the United States.
Just finished Blue Bayou. I honestly felt the movie was slow but I understood the story. Being a Hmong American in this country and knowing family who have been deported like this.. It hits different when you can relate too it. The ending got me tearing up bad.. lmao 10/10 movie for the story line!
It’s coming up!!! There’s just so much to talk about and breakdown so give us a bit. Gonna watch it again!!! We recorded it but it wasn’t good the wa we did to so we’re gonna reshoot it and give y’all something better :)
I’m 3 episodes deep and i dont see myself rewatching this series. It’s compelling but it takes too much from other shows or movies to really get me hooked on the show. It’s compelling in terms of mystery but once you learn the rules of the world of squid game the show is pretty predictable. I’m happy that this movie takes from other notable stories like Battle Royale (the type of suspense and action and conflicts characters have as results of being in the world of the tournament), The Liar Game (the premises of games in which players compete with each other as get to see the reveal of the types of characters) and Alexander jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain (set designs and use of colors and metaphors)
Sorry that happened to your brother. I had a similar experience when I visited South Korea during Junior yr of College to visit my relatives. At the airport, a lady at the desk around my age was checking my passport and all of a sudden she started screaming at top of her lung that "YOU NEED TO JOIN KOREAN MILITARY". My document clearly mentioned that I'm a US citizen but she didn't give a shit and won't even listen to me. Eventually this older dude escorted us to their office and sorted out the situation by saying that there was a "misunderstanding" and I was free to go. Even to this day I still don't know how to process what happened and I don't get why they would bother to keep a unstable person to work at the airport.
21:45 the reason why (I've heard this from other Korean friends and seen it myself) is because even though your friend was born in the States, his family probably forgot to cross out his name in the family lineage (you have to go to the Consulate or something to do that.) Regardless of citizenship, as long as you're still recorded on the family lineage, you need to do the two year mandatory service 😭😅
If you guys are reviewing another Korean film, plz plz plz review the wailing , just watched it loved it so much and would like to hear what you guys think about it, love ur channel !
i definitely am one of those people that grew up without a whole lot of chastising and consequences. it’s pretty insightful to hear david’s perspective on people like this. hopefully people like us can build character and change for the better 💯
the anecdote with his dad is funny and sad. his dad is from a time where life in Korea was rough. today young generation of Korean parents don't act like this.
blue bayou talks about a problem that a lot people wouldnt believe is highly relative to asian americans in terms of being an adoptee or dealing with ICE so its a different story during this day and age and its relative only to those who can relate to the main characters problems
1:04:40 Yup. People started clapping at the airport when I we went to pick up my father in law. We were crying because he had my mother in laws ashes. During the pandemic, he was the only one who could go to be there for her, but she passed away and he brought her back. People were clapping because they couldn’t see the urn.
I’ve been in this country since I was 3 and I have yet to even get a green card and I came with a visa. Getting a green card/citizenship is not that easy. My brother in law’s brother became a citizen and petitioned for him when he was 14, he’s 45 and is still waiting to get any legal status.
Not sure when it's gonna happen. But I'm waiting for Squid Games review! Love the videos David. Thank you, and the people that come on for your time to get into deep talks. And helping us have a better day! Much love!
me too! i havent binge watched a series in a long time. finished the whole thing. but i got cyber sickness, had to go for a walk and came back. still had it but uhhh it was worht it.
Funny I just finished watching Seoul Searching with Justin. Seemed to get mixed views but I liked it. Was interesting to see other international Koreans being British Korean myself. Blue Bayou comes out here in December sow will check it out then.
This was a great review guys saw the film loved it I hope Justin chon becomes a star, I learned a lot not just from you guys but that experience that Asian immigrants go threw and just immigrants in general and I'm Latino so that's more embarrassing that I don't know this again great review and love you guys
I haven’t seen blue bayou yet but man, it sounds heavy. The story line does remind me of a documentary that I saw years ago about Shin Song Hyuk, who got his named to Adam, I think during the adoption process. I don’t think his was as intense as the story line but there was a lot of similarities. There was another documentary about Korean adoptees that I’ve watched. I think the majority were female. But they talked about their struggle of not really fitting in anywhere. Some were single moms, some ended up adopting themselves and some went back to Korea to try to find themselves. It’s really interesting. The common theme, was finding a place where they belong and as you stated about the film, dealing with trust and abandonment issues. There are people who are adopted in their own countries that have this issue, but coming from one country to another and having to deal with extra trama is intense. I think these types of stories are important and should be told. I’m glad Justin got to make it and share it. There are some movies that open up a whole new world that you would’ve never would have know about had someone not decided to write a movie. I look forward to checking it out.
S. Korea pulls a lot of bullshit like they're talking about here. If you're a boy born to a Korean citizen parent (at the time of birth), Korea automatically claims citizenship on the child and can force them to serve in the military. You have to file to give up your Korean citizenship even if you have no idea that you had it in the first place. They also make it a huge pain in the neck to do it. Theoretically, this would still apply even if you're like 3rd or 4th generation if none of the previous generation knew to file to give up their citizenship, though I'm not sure how the Korean government would know it...
Referring to the story of the surfer friend and David’s brother, I think Korea determines nationality (citizenship) more by bloodline/family line rather than the place someone is born. Someone born in the US to Korean-citizen parents during a certain time period are technically born with both citizenships. (They can give one up by choice or automatically later on.) Similarly, there are people born in Korea to non-Korean parents and they can only gain Korean citizenship through naturalization. It’s definitely different from how the US determines nationality! I wonder if it has to do with Korea seeing the Korean people as one (to a degree)? Maybe one’s country is seen less as a physical place/home, and more as the people group you belong to? 🤷🏻♀️
My name is my Korean name. I felt out of the loop when I learned Asian kids that either emigrated or first generation Americans were born here got to choose their American name lol. I used to hate my name because I would think why couldn't I just have a basic, normal name?
My mom used to eat so awfully too 😩. She also liked really riped fruits and listening to her mouth sounds while eating messy food made me mad enough that I would have to go into the other room. Misophonia, God's greatest gift
I totally watch the Sams story. Typical korean-american 18 yr old in the army and cant understand anything. just imagining the basic training drill sergeants yelling instructions and him jus standing there clueless. its hilarious already
Dude Ed park episode are always SOO good 👍 also when is khalaya gonna be on the podcast ?? I want a deep conversation of her living in Philippians and then moving to the States
Korean citizen parents must be very careful when registering their child born in the USA as they can inadvertently make their child a citizen of South Korea. It gets worse if they tell their parents in Korea who will register their child in Korea's records, making them absentee citizens by default. Japanese can renounce their citizenship at 21 if they want to be Americans but Koreans have to go through another process altogether. What Korean citizen parents must do is not inform anyone in Korea about the real name or birth date of their male children until they are confirmed to have renounced citizenship at 12-13 years old- Korea already puts male citizens in a register at that point and 'waits' for them to sign on before they are 18. And no David, being born in the USA doesn't negate Korean citizenship either. Most countries do not practice juis solis any longer, European countries stopped in the 1980s, the UK and Australia nearly completely block citizenship for anyone born there without a citizen parent, even Ireland stopped in 2004. So some advice to Koreans on a green card thinking their boys will not be called up due to being born in the USA- don't be naive, renounce their citizenship as soon as possible if you want to stay in the USA, don't tell omma and oppa their real names or date of birth; so they are invisible in Korea and can't be called up for anything.
before you comment something emotional about davids review on blue bayou compared to shang chi just remember its his opinion he dont give a fuh and its ok to be a bit bias when it comes to film some people like a cinematic blockbuster others prefer an emotionally heartbreaking film
all of you don't know how to roast saying things like "oh David hasn't done enough film" or "he's so opinionated" he has literally said that he is hyper opinionated you want to roast here is an example: Shang chi - biggest representation for Asian Americans in Marvel, "Minari"- award winning film featuring sexy Korean male main character, blue bayou- no awards, not very relative and only known actor is Alicia from tomb raider and ex Machina , Gooc- this was a film, who allowed the title?, remembered by no one , way to controversial for Asian Americans considering what happened during the la riots

Much love David, always looking forward to Thursday and Sundays for Genius Brain!

Ed's probably my favorite guest.
can someone write out the name of the film @ 55:58 please lmao in english or korean, whatever is fine gotta watch ittt
Lmao I’m trynna find it too
m.imdb.com/title/tt0448678/
@@DavidSoComedy thank you 🙏🏼
Despite going to bed at 2 and just getting out of bed, getting this podcast in the morning makes me feel like I'm going to have a more productive day
We need a Squid Games review yall! Koreans be killing it with the shows and movies lol
THIS!!!
It’s coming up!!! There’s just so much to talk about and breakdown so give us a bit. Gonna watch it again!!! We recorded it but it wasn’t good the wa we did to so we’re gonna reshoot it and give y’all something better :)
My dad took off Netflix because we weren't using it 😭. He said one other his coworkers was talking to him about it
I’m 3 episodes deep and i dont see myself rewatching this series. It’s compelling but it takes too much from other shows or movies to really get me hooked on the show. It’s compelling in terms of mystery but once you learn the rules of the world of squid game the show is pretty predictable.

I think u should compare Alice in Borderland and Squid Game
55:42 hey David what is the movie name ? you said something that sound like 파서성 계란닭 but I can’t find it

21:20 That story should be made into a comedy movie LOL

Blue Bayou made me tear up man especially at the end! damm

If you guys are reviewing another Korean film, plz plz plz review the wailing , just watched it loved it so much and would like to hear what you guys think about it, love ur channel !
Blue Bayou is on my list to watch but y'all sold me on watching it right now!
Awesome episode! I should really watch Blue Bayou after hearing this!

Seems like our households were the same. I still don't know how to act when someone calls out my name from a distance💀

😭 I like how you guys always talk about deep topics and thing that are generationally triggering lol 😂😂👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💙💜💙
My mom used to eat so awfully too 😩. She also liked really riped fruits and listening to her mouth sounds while eating messy food made me mad enough that I would have to go into the other room. Misophonia, God's greatest gift

Whats the name of the movie?
