On this week's episode, the boys dive into the world of foreign films. The trio share their experiences growing up in households that watched Bollywood and Nollywood content.  They also welcome the podcast's first-ever guest: Dr. Nam Lee, to discuss the rising popularity and cultural impact of Korean cinema.

Nam Lee is an Associate Professor at the Lawrence and Kristina Dodge College of Film and Media Arts at Chapman University. Her expertise is in Film Studies, Korean Cinema, Asian Cinema, Women's Filmmaking, and Transitional Cinema.

As a teacher of film studies, Lee exposes students to the works of filmmakers from around the world. Her goal is to share her passion for exploring new possibilities in cinematic art, something she feels is possible for those who are "open to differences."

If you enjoyed our conversation with Nam, we would recommend checking out her book entitled "The Films of Bong Joon-ho" that is coming out in September.
