This week on episode #152 of The Harsh Language Podcast, it's Marvin’s first time watching The Wailing. We made Marvin watch one of Korea’s most legendary horror films. Released well before COVID, The Wailing feels eerily prophetic now: a village stricken by an unexplained sickness, fear turning neighbors against each other, and religious voices collapsing under pressure. It’s horror rooted in social paranoia and spiritual meltdown.
We also dig into: Marvel’s direction (or lack thereof), IT: Welcome to Derry, Black Phone 2, all the drama surrounding Warner Bros., and more!
