No Other Choice
This week, the Good Pop crew checks out the new Park Chan-wook film No Other Choice, which recently started streaming on Hulu. Director Park's latest film is a dark comedy thriller about a veteran paper engineer played by a refreshingly (darkly) comedic Lee Byung-hun, who suddenly loses his job which puts the lifestyle that he build for himself and his family at risk. Desperate to find new job at another paper company, he decides that he has no other choice but to murder the other potential candidates to secure his spot.

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
NAATCO returns to The Public with their production of Shakespeare's trilogy, HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS, adapted and directed by Stephen Brown-Fried. Condensed into two parts and performed in rep, experience this saga of a nation spinning wildly out of control. Part 1: Foreign Wars kicks off with the funeral of King Henry V, leaving his infant son on the throne and sending the country into decades of spiraling chaos both abroad and at home. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later, as nascent domestic feuds rapidly metastasize into the full-blown civil war known as the War of the Roses.
