In this thrilling episode, Chris sits down with Paul Fischer, author of the book A Kim Jong Il Production, as they discuss the astonishing tale of Shin Sang-Ok and Choi Eun-Hee. The husband and wife team that took South Korea cinema by storm, only to be kidnapped by North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il to make movies for despot. The duo made several films for Kim, most notably the kaiju film Pulgasari, and how that film ultimately lead to their freedom. A tale so wild, it feels like a Hollywood story, but it’s anything but.
