Poor Korean family cons rich Korean family in gruesome comedy

What movie in 2019 wasn’t about class disparity? Parasite (2019) is about a poor family that cons their way into working for a rich family to make ends meet. And then things get bloody. Parasite is also a movie about metaphorical architecture. There’s a gated house with large glass windows, luscious grass, and ample space. Then there’s an apartment that’s halfway under ground, halfway above ground with a window that looks to the street floor. It’s musty, cluttered, and does not have wifi. This movie is funny until it’s not. Come for the culturally relevant themes, stay for the wonderfully cast ensemble. So put your glasses on and get ready to read some subtitles.

Why philanthropy is bad

Is Winners Take All (2018) by Anand Giridharadas depressing? Yes. Will it make you angry at the world’s billionaires, thought leaders, and corporate do-Gooders? Yes. Is it socialist propaganda? My boss seems to think so. But it will make you think about government differently and who should actually be considered the “little guys” (hint: it’s not Silicon Valley), and why we need accountability and critical thinking and not TED Talks. Nobody is safe from this book. Simon Sinek? Roasted. Brene Brown? Roasted. Bill Clinton? Roasted. Airbnb? Roasted. Power posing? Roasted. Oh and all of us marketers who are helping our client’s build a better world? We should discuss. I have thoughts.
