Episode 24: Mickey 17: Death, Dupes & Disposable Heroes

Ofili and Steve are joined by Jerry, who’s making his TCA debut, to talk through Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s 2025 sci-fi release. “Dying is just another part of the job” sets the tone for a conversation on identity, memory, and the systems that turn people into tools. They dive into the film’s cold color palette and sound design, discuss the religious and philosophical threads running underneath, and unpack what it means to be disposable in a world that keeps bringing you back.
