The Killer
On this episode we check out the latest film from John Woo, The Killer, the 2024 remake of his 1989 classic action film, moving the action from Hong Kong to Paris with Nathalie Emmanuel taking the Chow Yun Fat role of a hitman with a heart of gold. Does the film do enough to justify a remake? And does a John Woo film automatically equal good pop in today's pop culture landscape?

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.
