Well, well, look who’s back for more haunted hijinks. Welcome once again to BS Reactor — the podcast where a band of well-meaning nerds unpacks films, themes, and questionable life choices with the energy of an adolescent group chat and the brains of adults.
This week, we’re continuing our conversation on the 2013 Thai film Pee Mak — a movie that dares to ask: what if your boo was ghosting you… and also kind of a not ghosting you? It’s complicated. If you haven’t listened to part one, go do that.
Before we dive back in, a few reminders: there will be spoilers. Big ones. The kind that wreck plot twists. Also, there will be profanity—because nothing brings out cinematic analysis like the occasional f-bomb, B-*#&!, or s-sandwich.
If that’s not your thing, we understand. Find something gentler. Perhaps a podcast about interior design for treehouses.
For everyone else — buckle up. We’ve got spectral lore, emotional baggage, and probably at least one argument for an afterlife that has relationship counseling.

229 - Pee Mak (2013) PART1
Welcome back to BS Reactor — arguably the only podcast where a group of charming nerds gather to discuss things no one else in their lives would tolerate hearing about.
This time, we’re diving into the 2013 Thai film Pee Mak—a strange, beautiful beast of comedy, horror, and romance. Yes, all three. In the same film. Sometimes in the same scene. Once again, Jazmen has delivered a cinematic curveball that left the team somewhere between intrigued, enlightened, and spiritually unsettled.
As ever, expect spoilers. Expect profanity. And expect opinions delivered with the confidence of people who’ve thought about this way too much.

228 - My People My Homeland (2020) PART3
Well, well, look who’s back. A surprisingly resilient little group, returning for the third part of our conversation about the 2020 propaganda spectacular, “My People, My Homeland."
If you haven’t listened to the first two parts, I relatively politely suggest you go do that. Otherwise, you’re just walking into Act Three of a very confusing play with absolutely no snacks."
International relations are still... lets call them... delicate. But here we are—carrying on; one awkward subtitle at a time."
As always, we’ll be employing both spoilers and profanity with all the grace of a malfunctioning fax machine. If that’s not your thing, tap 'stop' before the music ends; lest your sensibilities be f@#d with.
And of course, in keeping with our recent tradition: ‘hello,’ ‘howdy,’ and ‘Nǐ hǎo’ to the fine folks in foreign and domestic intelligence that are monitoring this podcast. You’ve been with us through so much. We feel... watched. In a good way.
Next week, we’re switching gears a bit, so consider this your heads-up. Change is coming. Again.

227 - My People My Homeland (2020) PART2
Welcome back to BS Reactor. This is the second part of our conversation about the 2020 propaganda movie “My People, My Homeland”. Listen to part one so this makes sense.
To cover all bases again... yes, we’re recording from the United States in the year 2025 and it’s particularly messy here right now in terms for international relations.
If you want a timely and cogent analysis of any part of the conflict you are listening to the wrong podcast. If, instead, you want to hear fart jokes and unhinged thoughts from nerds... congrats you found us.
As always we’ll be using spoilers and profanity to get our points across.
As per the last podcast intro... “hello”, “howdy”, and “Nǐ hǎo“... feel free to like and subscribe.
And thanks for listening, we appreciate you.

226 - My People My Homeland (2020) PART1
Welcome back to BS Reactor. Were we get our friends to talk about stuff we could’t get other people in our lives to chat with us about.
There’s going to be profanity and spoilers here so if you’re not into that sort of thing; beware.
This week we’re starting our chat about the 2020 Chinese Propaganda film “My People My Homeland”. Yes the humans know it’s probably deranged to start a conversation about this film inside the USA right now, where political tensions (both internal and external) are at historic levels.
However, we’re not the sort of podcast that pulls punches; and the humans here are in fact a little deranged. So “hello”, “howdy”, and “Nǐ hǎo “ to the members of the CIA, FBI, and CCP that are listening in for their day job. Hope you get a few laughs.
And as always thanks for listening we appreciate you.
