Mickey 17 (2025) - sci-fi satire or preachy overload?

What if you were cloned, killed, and reprinted like a cosmic photocopy? That’s the wild setup of Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s latest sci-fi gem that’s got us hooked. In this episode, we dive into this quirky black comedy with Robert Pattinson as a disposable space colonist, unpacking its biting satire, class jabs, and messy questions about humanity’s flaws. It’s less clone chaos, more slow-burn brain teaser—think spaceship social commentary with a side of “hold up, are we the idiots here?” as colonisers clash with annoyed alien locals.

We wrestle with the absurdity, dig into the heavy colonisation vibes, and debate: is it genius or just preachy as hell?
