Redemption! Ep02 Tony Zhaun, who does the great YouTube series about called Every Frame a Painting, does the second episode called 'The Ethics of Revenge' and the central film he talks about is Park Chan-Wook's Lady Vengeance. The episode covers a bunch of films that have Vengeance as the central theme but he keeps cycling back to Lady Vengeance to back up his theory about the steps for a successful Vengeance film. Lots of great clips from a lot of movies.
Ep03 Another good one. But we are back to the motif where we see the narrator in the theater talking about films while the films play on the screen in front of them. But Ep03 "But I don't Like Him" is all about films with unlikeable leading men. The narrator starts out his thesis with Lawrence of Arabia and how he's scene the film dozens of times but he doesn't really care for Lawrence himself. And that is perfectly acceptable. He then goes on to prove his point about unlikeable characters in films by showing a lot of great film clips. He particularly points out Scorcese who has made a career of films with unlikeable protagonists with Taxi Driver and Goodfellas. He also does a take on the Godfather films. Very enjoyable clip extravaganza.
A must see for film aficionados
