We continue our series on international language films (#SpeakinginTongues) with a film that is as profound and compelling as it is upsetting and brutal. Kim Jee-woon's I SAW THE DEVIL is a blistering exploration of vengeance and violence, frequently ranking in lists of the greatest films of the 2010s. It focuses on a serial killer named Jang Kyung-chul (Choi Min-sik) who viciously murders a woman one evening after finding her car broken down on the side of the road. What he doesn't expect is that his victim's fiancée is a highly trained secret agent named Soo-hyeon (Lee Byung-hun). Soo-hyeon quickly determines not only to find his beloved's killer, but to subject him to the same kinds of pain and torment that he had unleashed upon his victims.

What follows is an exquisitely constructed interrogation of our concepts of justice and our often-insatiable thirst for revenge in the face of tragic suffering. It is smart, thoughtful, and often deeply troubling. It also has an undeniable moral fortitude that few other revenge narratives have ever quite been able to achieve. We invite two clerical voices to help us unpack the film's wealth of themes: Justi Schunior and Josh Raugh. Their respective experiences in vocational ministry offer a unique perspective on an undeniably potent subject, one we're quite certain you will find challenging and inspiring.

Also featuring a Patron-only discussion of DARK, Season 3, Episode 2, this is a hearty and heartfelt episode that we really hope you enjoy.

This week in the FoG we revive a fan-favorite series that's been requested for years now. In 2019, largely in solidarity with our American immigrant neighbors, we covered a series of international language films we called Speaking in Tongues. The first two volumes came out in rather quick succession, but now -- seven years later -- we kick off volume three with the debut feature film from Academy Award winning director Guillermo del Toro. CRONOS tells the simple fable of Jesus Gris, a grandfather and antiques dealer who stumbles upon a strange device which clasps and cuts into his hand. Soon, Gris begins to change in ways he can't explain, setting him down a grotesque path of pain and gruesome transformation.

We're joined by friend of the show and fellow film critic Thomas Manning to unpack this tightly constructed gem, which showcases both the early filmmaking talents and thematic interests of the landmark director.

Also featuring a discussion with fellow podcast co-host (of the podcast 1ofmystories) Lindsey Dunn about the first episode of DARK, Season 3. We covered Dark Seasons 1 & 2 in our original Speaking in Tongues series. We're excited to be revisiting this series and we really hope you enjoy this kickoff episode!
