On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we travel to South Korea to explore the filmography of Kim Jee-woon, one of our favorite international directors.

Our first stop is "The Good, the Bad, the Weird," where we talk about the beauty of a good remake, how showing over telling cuts across cultures, and the unholy love child of Prince and Jack Sparrow.

Next up, we stare into the depths of evil with "I Saw the Devil." We discuss revenge vs. justice, Hollywood endings vs. Korean endings, and Tom vs. Jerry.
