A forensic analysis of The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)

Excellent! Rob and Eugene perform time travel forensics on Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) starring Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves. Our first episode recorded on roughly opposite sides of the world! Enjoy, our most triumphant first foray into timeline reconstruction, excellent listeners.

In this episode, Rob, Eugene, and frequent special guest Emma Kalka dissect.... Timecop (1994) starring Jean Claude Van-Damme. Yay?

Café Seoul is Back! Rob and Eugene discuss repurposing their old podcast to explore the nerdy ion of deconstructing time travel movies.

Review of Game of Thrones -  Most satisfying deaths, predictions, retrospective of the series so far, etc etc. It wouldn't be Café Seoul without nerding it up. The Best Goodbyes - Rob finds goodbyes from books, movies, songs and other forms of pop culture. Eugene has to guess where they come from. On the Pulse: Exit Interview - Rob and Eugene reflect on the past 10 years in Korea. Rob asks Eugene to make top three lists on various expat in Korea related topics while introducing some of his own. Rob also reads a sad sappy (heartfelt) letter to inflate Eugene's ego (but really really appreciated).

After a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long period of being very very very very very busy, Eugene has actually finally found time to edit this episode.  Rydia is back and our subject today is plastic surgery. But rather than criticize all the people in Korea getting it, we are discussing why Rydia made the decision to get it in the first place.  During the initial banter of this episode we got some letters from Dave and from Kathleen. Dave's letter sparked a discussion on Western remakes of Asian films. Kathleen's letter caused us to discuss foreigner privilege in Korean settings. News of the Weird: -(Korea Herald) Rural village in Korea exposed to nudist resort -(Huffington Post) - Blogger Praises K-Beauty While Calling Asians ‘Ching Chongs’ In ‘Funny Clothes’ -(BBC) - TV host's race jokes spark Brazil-Korea online war Rydia Kim was once a co-host on Café Seoul, and she's returned to discuss plastic surgery in Korea. As someone who recently got a procedure or two herself, she's here to elaborate on her decision to get plastic surgery, and how her initial aversion to the practice was overcome. She also goes in detail about how the procedures have helped her to be confident and how it is important to have a positive body image. Later Rob and Rydia discuss why plastic surgery is such a trend in Korea, and how body alterations work in the context of Korea's modern culture. Rydia can be found @Rydia0722 on Instagram If you're an expat in Korea, chances are that you are her friend on facebook already, or are at least friends with someone who is her friend. She's very popular afterall.
