Tom Philip, GQ.com Contributor: Hello, Kevin! We saw Netflix's Okja together, and I feel like we both liked it a bunch. For me, it’s only gotten richer and cooler and more fun the more I think about it/talk about it. I can’t wait for a lot of people to see this movie. What are your lingering impressions?

Kevin Nguyen, GQ.com Deputy Editor: I’ve thought about Okja every time I’ve eaten pork, so really, I feel more anxious and guilty about my meat-loving, environment-destroying dietary habits than ever. So I would say Bong Joon-ho’s ensemble action adventure has certainly stayed with me in the weeks since we’ve seen it. Like Snowpiercer, no one’s going to praise Okja for its subtlety. But its joys are in its brashness and its cynicism and its Tilda.

How Okja's Paul Dano Pulled Off a Masterfully Human Performance Alongside a Giant CGI Pig The actor talks to GQ about the making of Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-ho's latest movie.

Tom: Oh, yeah. This movie is LOUD, complete with a screeching Jake Gyllenhaal. I think there are very on-the-nose surface ideas the film explores; meat consumptions, obviously. Consumerism. But there’s a darker joke to the whole thing, too. Without wading too far into spoiler territory, Mija slowly has to integrate herself with this capitalist monolith of a company in order to even get a shot at saving Okja.

Kevin: Maybe that’s what works so well in Okja. There’s a lot going on, but plotwise, Joon-ho has left himself the space to explore a lot of different characters. And man, there are a lot of great performances in this movie. Gyllenhaal as a shrill sell-out Brian Fellows type; Tilda Swinton as a disingenuous corporate adolescent; Paul Dano as a slim suit-wearing ecoterrorist. Who’s your favorite, Tom?

Tom: There were a LOT of standouts for me. I know some people have been/will be turned off by just how execrable Gyllenhaal plays his character, but I enjoyed every second. He’s having a fun, brave time. Swinton is, naturally, one of the greats, but her Snowpiercer character, fake teeth and Hull accent and all, will always be my true love. I also cannot discount Ahn Seo-hyun as Mija. Without qualification re: her age, she acts the HELL out of this. She anchors the entire movie.

And now, Kevin, I want to ask you: How long after you watched Okja did you next consume meat?

Kevin: Like, immediately afterwards. But I didn’t feel great about it! (Probably because I ate so much meat.) Which is to say, as much as I liked Okja as an action movie with wild characters, I wonder if its attempts at a message are half-hearted, just in the way Snowpiercer’s go at environmentalism and class were too on-the-nose to really mean anything.
