122. Hong Sang-soo: Yourself and Yours
Episode 122
Saturday, 7 February, 2026
In this episode, we get into Ben’s favorite Hong film of all time, Yourself and Yours. If On The Beach At Night Alone is Hong’s first reflection on the scandalized reception to the reveal of his relationship with Kim Min-hee, Ben shares the theory that Yourself and Yours is secretly the one about its beginning. In our discussion, we try to pin down Minjung’s slippery personas, pick apart the film’s dream sequences, define the qualities of Hong’s surrealist and yet mundane approach, and ask, what does it take to be a Hong film that believes in love?Links:Yourself and Yours segmentationInexplicable doppelganger listHong Sang-soo Notarized: Yourself and YoursBreak a leg at our FREE patreon, discord server, and our socials @ www.deepcutpod.com Timestamps:00:00 Intro02:00 Film Intro04:05 General reactions09:12 AFA Post screening discussion 11:45 Film context15:20 Structure / segmentation20:28 Doppelgangers and dreams26:06 Perception of Mnjung31:09 The ending33:47 Context in Hong’s career36:25 Ben’s favorite scene40:15 Parallel characters and Hong-isms46:00 Reflection on discussion53:45 Outro
