Eugh. Mint Salad is in this. He’s totally given up on the podcast. He’s bringing people on who he knows are bad just to be “ironic”.
Oh. And also Riley. That’s Mint Salad’s boyfriend. He’s the fat guy who wears a cape. I talk about him as well as Mint Salad in the following articles:

He’s awful. As is Mint Salad.
2:30 – They laugh hysterically at something that Mint Salad said that wasn’t even particularly funny. This is a bad omen.
I was actually looking forward to this Pulgasari episode. They teased it a while ago. This is one of the few movies they’ve covered that I’ve actually seen. And I recently watched clips on Youtube to remind me of it. Such was my enthusiasm for this episode. And now…this.
4:45 – Johanna “reviews” the movie. “It fucking sucks.”
Maybe they should go back to the old format: Tony goes over the plot points and Johanna says “yeah”.
6:30 – Mint Salad is giving intentionally stupid answers. This is funny, right? Stupidity is amusing.
11:15 – Tony says, “They figured out a way, because they were probably like, ‘Oh, I love the Godzilla movies when they shoot him with missiles’ and someone must have said, ‘This movie takes place in like 1300 or something and like there’s no missiles’. So they’re like, “All right, they’re going to be rocket-propelled spears.'”
Tony seems to think that this thing was invented for the movie. No. It’s a hwacha. I can’t believe that none of these clowns know about feudal Korean weaponry. A rare gap in their knowledge.
13:15 – More stupid comments from Mint Salad. Not even worth copying and pasting them.
18:30 – And again…
Then they finish with some off-topic nonsense about Twitter.
Maybe they could have compared the movie to Seven Samurai. Something. With the villagers coming together to fight off the bandits. Do you suppose that any of these buffoons have seen Seven Samurai? It’s not a horror movie from the 1990s or 2000s so probably not.
I enjoy Seven Samurai so much that I even saw it in the cinema. There was an older Japanese woman sitting nearby and she was crying into her popcorn during the scene where the villagers are talking about how it’s hopeless to try to fight off the bandits and that they should just kill themselves.
Everyone else in the cinema was some nerd and/or hipster douchebag but it was nice to see an actual Japanese person enjoying the movie. A rare opportunity to see a film in your native language.
