Incheon Into My Seoul

To kick of Pride month, we're talking glory ho...tels! Yup. Never stopped and giggled over that name! Nope. Not super mature me! We cover three episodes to get us back on track. There's murder, ransacking, eye witnesses that saw nothing, false descriptions, disguises, and questions about the paternity of two of the characters. Seriously. I know it's dodgy for a non-melanated person to say this, but are we sure they're not the same person just pulling the greatest joke on the entire Korean entertainment industry?

We are back with a full series, and we are finally taking on Mr. Sunshine. So let's talk about The Wind That Shakes the Barley vs Michael Collins. Look, it will all make sense if you listen. We become a temporary amateur history podcast before discussing why inconsistent dates in a historical drama don't bug Andrea, but sailing from Korea to New York City on the same boat before the Panama Canal even began construction does.

We're wrapping up this series of stand-alones with a zombie movie because I like zombie movies. We've been over this! Many times! Well, at least three times previously to this. A look at what happens when there's a zombie outbreak and you stay in your apartment all alone, like the authorities tell you to. Would you wait until day 7 to break into your dad's liquor cabinet? [Andrea's answer: nope!]

For the penultimate episode for this round of stand-alones, we're visiting the XianXia worlds of Chinese fantasy to talk about The Untamed (love the totally platonic bromance *wink*), Eternal Love (love the second couple and a bunch of the side characters), and Feud (love seeking revenge on former lovers who have wronged you)! But what ultimately wins in all of these series? The cosutmes! Is this what finally tips me into cosplay? (My ADHD brain: highly unlikely, but she'll make some amazing plans for said cosplays.)

Covering the one Narcos entry that has nothing to do with the other two, so it's only natural we're going to talk about Colombia tourism... in Suriname? We learn the fictional retelling of the real story of one of Korea's largest drug lords... who lived in South America and the untrained undercover operative who took him down. We're also going to discuss the real story, and Suriname's former president who was accused to drug smuggling. There are a lot of topics in such a short episode.

The first stand-alone episode of our new batch is on the sci-fi series, The Silent Sea. Learn exactly how much Andrea loves sci-fi... and who you can blame for that. Hint: it's my stepmum. Blame my stepmum. Her choice 36 years ago is directly responsible for this episode. You're welcome.

I'm not abandoning the podcast, just some good life news means the next few weeks are going to be busy, so a quick life update, a repeat episode, and a few new stand-alones in the works for the weeks ahead.

Due to reasons, we're doing a repeat of the Train to Busan episode. Relive Andrea ranting about dickish COOs, spoiled endings, and politics.
