It’s one of the many eccentric touches in Bong Joon Ho’s beautifully bizarre fantasy about the food industry, capitalism, and the connection between a child and an animal who is more than a pet… it’s a dear loved one. Our Matt Schuchman recently had the opportunity to sit down with the three actors who make up the main faces of Okja’s ALF: Paul Dano, Steve Yeun, and Lily Collins. While talking with all three of them, we discuss what is the appeal of the ALF and why such a formal and politically motivated group could so quickly and enthusiastically get behind young Ahn Seo-hyun’s main character of Mija in the film. Personally, we’re ready to join their fight. Okja is streaming now on Netflix.
