The conversation begins with the rise of intimacy coordinators and Jennifer Lawrenceās remarks about filming explicit scenes for Die My Love, leading to a frank discussion on safety, liability, and the shrinking tolerance for actors working without proper protection on set. Manika and Amaris examine how celebrities speak about politics, why so many rely on performance instead of understanding, and how social media rewards confidence over accuracy. The episode then moves into a deep analysis of Bong Joon-ho, covering his influences, class themes, and the lasting relevance of Parasite, Snowpiercer, Okja, and Mickey 17. Their breakdown of Snowpiercer explores the train as a controlled society, Curtis as a compromised leader, Edgar as innocence lost, and the painter as the keeper of exploited memories. They also look at how propaganda, resource scarcity, and child labor shape the filmās critique of power.Amaris's SocialsTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@amaris_simonePodcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/
