Mickey 17 And What's Making Us Happy

Mickey 17 is writer-director Bong Joon Ho's follow-up to the Oscar-winning film Parasite . In the sharply satirical sci-fi film, Robert Pattinson is a manual laborer on a spaceship who just keeps dying. But then he gets reprinted – his memories get downloaded into a new body. What could go wrong? The film also stars Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, and Naomi Ackie. Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopculture .
