The VCinema Show Episode 37: Moss
Happy Holidays from The VCinema Show gang! This is our last episode before 2012 so we want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, Noel, New Year, Hanukkah, Discovery Day, Kwanzaa, Haiti Discover Day, Boxing Day, St. Stephens Day, Solidarity Day, and everything in between until our next episode!
In this episode, we review the Korean blockbuster Moss (2010), a live-action adaptation of a web manga of the same name. We also gather for the VCinema Book Club to talk about Ryu Murakami’s Audition (1997), a book recently translated into English and adapted into a film in 1999 by Takashi Miike.
