Bong Joon Ho's 'Mickey 17' is a Messy Misfire (but Robert Pattinson had fun!)

Kelsi and Trey dive into Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s most ambitious but messiest film yet—a sci-fi satire packed with class commentary, genre chaos, and existential dread, but also plagued by tonal inconsistency, underdeveloped themes, and what maybe feels like studio interference. We break down the good (Robert Pattinson’s delightfully weird dual performance, the darkly hilarious death montage, and some great satire on labor exploitation), the bad (a scattered third act, underbaked supporting characters like Naomi Ackie’s Nasha and Steven Yeun’s Timo, and an underwhelming visual style), and the frustrating (a possible scrapped twist about Mark Ruffalo’s character, weird pacing issues, and the sense that Warner Bros. meddled with the final cut). Plus, we discuss why the Hunger Games-style YA dystopian vibe isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and how ironic it is that people are mad a movie about corporate exploitation lost a corporate giant millions of dollars.
