And we're back with 11 mins to go in the film. We're all celebrating, and nothing can go wrong! Hooray for our Great Ally, Pulgasari!

In the last 10 minutes:

"oh shit, our Great Ally is now eating our resources that the OG Bad Guys were trying to steal. Fuckin A."

Does 2 women talking about a #Kaiju count as a #BechdalPass?

I like Ami; she's the smartest & bravest person in this film.

Fucking off into ... the stones? The End ... or is it?

We're just over an hour in; we may not get a #Bechdel pass, but these ladies are highly competent. Ami is brave AF

1h 14m - billowing cape alert!

1h 15m - something something allegory for #NorthKorea nuclear weapons program.

1h 19m - like, I know dude didn't just say #huzzah but it sounded like dude said #huzzah. There is #meme potential here.

1h 20 min - 🤣 good job Pulgasari

1h 24 min - ...11 minutes to go...

51 min - ok, I'm feeling legit anxious from the tension. This is a genuinely good movie.

54 min - 💔😢😭

56 min - 🤯😁😊

60 min - brutal, I hope North Korean stunt actors had decent fire suits in the 80s. Meanwhile, LOOK OUT BAD GUYS, the giant rear-screen projection is coming for you!

1h 5m - no, a group of priestess chanting an exorcism together does not count as a #Bechdal pass, kids.

1h 9m - bad ass last words.

38 min - if I had a fidget hat like the king's, I'd never stop batting at it like a cat. #ADHD or #Furry trigger warning, I guess.

40 min - ACTUAL #TriggerWarning - animal butchery by starving farmers after a battle. It's a horse.

45 min - Ami (blacksmith daughter) be giving that #ScaleSuit her bedroom eyes. I kinda get it.

49 min - Traditional #Puppetry 🥰🥰🥰

25 min - yes, lets lock the metal-eating baby #Kaiju into a room with a metal lock. That'll keep it out of the blacksmith's supplies

28 min - #LPT - if it can eat your sword, it can eat your face. Go, tiny knock-off Godzilla, go!

30 min - brb, running to #NorthKorea quick to get some cool rocks for my garden path.

We're now about 1/3 way through the movie, and I'm invested in it it; a bold anti-NK film disguised as NK propaganda.

15 min - #HungerStrike in a #NorthKorean prison. This movie teaches the people of #NorthKorea about #NonviolentResistance and solidarity!

18 min - ... and conjuring #kaiju to save the people from the 1%. I hope that someday I, too, can use my dying breath to help destroy the #kleptocracy

22 min - and with a little bit of accidently blood magic, a rubber suit, and giant props we have an adorable little #monster awwww
