Episode 277- Deeper Underground

Dishes Served Cold

     We draw November to a close with four courses of revenge severed at the proper temperatures.

     The first entry in Park Chan-wook's Vengeance Trilogy. Ryu is desperate to get his sister the transplant she needs. Dong-jin is desperate to get his young daughter returned to him safely. When their paths are set on a collision, the bloody trail of bodies doesn't undermine your Sympathy for Mr Vengeance.
     Nick Hume witnesses his eldest son be brutally murdered in a gang initiation. When he learns of the system's offer, he decides to take his own course of payback. Soon Nick is in deeper than he imagined and his remaining family is at risk as the gang's own revenge begins. For every action they all find a Death Sentence.
     Thana, a mute seamstress working in New York's Garment District, is raped at gun point. She survives the attack and stumbles home. Only to find a burglar in her apartment, who decides to rape her a second time. Being constantly under different attacks from the dangerously gendered city, Thana soon starts going out at night to avenge herself on the city's predators. Lessening the subgenre's usual fantasy for a slightly more grounded, though still highly exploitation driven, exploration of the trauma, rage, and fear women experience in the everyday in the world... Ms .45. 
     Three working women are pushed too far by their sexist, bigoted, egomaniacal, hypocrite of a boss. When their flight of fancy accidentally spill into the office, they seize a bold plan to keep their boss in line through mutually assured destruction. They get it all done between 9 to 5.
     All that and Dave used a song from we are lady parts (which you should watch), Tyler dreams in Capcom isometric horror, and after a fall down the stairs Kevin now lives in a noir hellscape.
