“Parasite” made history as the first foreign language movie to win Best Picture at the Oscars. Since the movie is now streaming on Hulu, we’re revisiting our conversation with Director Bong Joon Ho, who also won Oscars for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film. He tells us about clashing with Harvey Weinstein over cuts to his 2013 film “Snowpiercer,” and explains why he made “Okja” for Netflix, even though he prefers to watch films in theaters.

Plus, an all new banter: Some Southern states want to reopen businesses, but movie theater owners say, not so fast.
