May and Clinton discuss the Korean horror wave, touching on its initial history and focusing on three of its most well-known exports. Starting from the very first Korean film screened in America in 2003, the wave was less hyped than its sister cinema from Japan. However, there exists a specific nuance centered around the Korean concept of han that distinguishes Korean horror from other pan-Asian efforts. It also shows as a wave that has no intention of slowing down any time soon. In this episode, May and Clinton discuss these aspects as well as Lady Vengeance, The Host, and Train to Busan.
