Politics meets horror (which actually feels pretty realistic, to be honest) in Kingdom; a K drama set in a fictional Joseon era Korea where the Crown Prince investigates the origins of a plague outbreak that is bringing the dead back to life. Listen to us as we talk about delightfully complicated characters, the ethical dilemma of cannibalism, and how we don't have the guts to be stunt people, but we appreciate those
