W: Welcome to Thug D’s Place for the final edition of Oscar’s Month here at Warlock’s Movie Realm. We began in 1990 with Dances With Wolves and tonight we finish with the Best Picture winner of 2019….or so the Academy wanted. The Korean drama PARASITE.
*D is in his standard attire*
D: Are you going to bitch about that this entire movie?
W: Absolutely not, but I will explain what I mean. But first, the accolades. Bong Joon Ho won Best Director, the movie was nominated for Best Editing and Best Production Design, and it won Best International Film and Best Screenplay. Now for the competition….and now I’m gonna bitch. PARASITE beat Ford vs Ferrari, The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit……Joker….Little Women, Marriage Story, 1917 and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. I’m sure out of all of those, you remember which one I’m mad about.
D: Get over it!
W: I can’t…..but maybe this will help. Joker absolutely blew me away the first time I saw it and I was dumbfounded that PARASITE won Best Picture over it. You and others have gone on record saying PARASITE was the better movie, so its time to find out. This is the final movie of Oscar’s Month and its been a hell of a month. Let’s see if this mythical beast is, in fact, better than Joker. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for PARASITE.

*D reads the tag-line*
D: “Greed and class discrimination threaten the newly formed symbiotic relationship between the wealthy Park family and the destitute Kim clan.”
W: Symbiotic?
