Nah Yung Suk, one of South Korea’s most successful TV producers, says the content marketplace in his home country has been divided into two distinct eras: “Before Netflix” and “After Netflix.”
On the latest episode of Variety podcast “Strictly Business,” Nah Yung Suk offers his observations on the rise of Korean popular culture throughout the world. The producer’s latest series reflects the incredible global growth of content imports and exports: “Jinny’s Kitchen,” an unscripted series for Amazon Prime Video, revolves around the opening of Korean street food restaurant in a small town in southeastern Mexico.
The Netflix effect cited by Producer Nah, as he is widely known, began about five years ago when the streaming giant began investing in original Korean-language content. That influx of capital into the spurred more outside coin to flow into Korean producers, and it also encouraged domestic firms such as Cj Enm to step up their ambition.

Because there aren't enough things to lament in the world of music, Amanda Bynes is planning to enter the rap game, with rapper Waka Flocka Flame at her side.
Waka tells TMZ that he and the troubled actress are working out a record deal with his Brick Squad Monopoly label and, though nothing's been signed, he's already begun hiring people to start writing tracks for Bynes, which is probably for the best. Can you imagine Bynes writing them on her own, with her limited insult vocabulary? (She seems to only know the word "ugly" when it's time to disparage someone on Twitter.)
Mr. Flame says he and Bynes FaceTime at least once a week and text every day. He says the album will be called "Shots," which sounds totally appropriate for a girl facing DUI charges. Of the album, Waka says he'll be featured on several songs, adding, "It's going to be crazy hot.

This is a Recap of Top Chef All-Stars (Season 8), Episode 3, entitled “New York’s Finest”, originally airing December 15th, 2010. Shockingly, they do not have to cook any dishes based on New York Police Precincts – that’ll be next week, in the episode “Seriously Though We Mean Cops”. Quickfire time! First, Padma picks the teams by saying “You walked in here in a random order, and that’s how we’re gonna split these teams up.” What?? Where’s the 4-minute montage of people opening up Russian nesting dolls to find skeleton keys that open cobwebbed treasure chests that contain the names of U.S. Secretaries of Agriculture and the teams are based on which vegetable those secretaries subsidized the most during their tenure? Top Chef, I don’t even know you anymore. The chefs get the chance to rave about their teammates, and Fabio is pumped, even though “Angelo wears...

Chicago – With the release of “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” there is a reminder of all the films in cinema history that dared to challenge something, within an existence that sometimes has trouble getting out of bed. Here are ten such films, filling in the holes of and taking on the mantle of (Blank) vs. (Blank).

This weeper did take on some pretty lofty issues in a post feminist society where gender roles – while loosening up considerably – were still pretty rigid. Meryl Streep does her usual scene stealing as Joanna Kramer, a frustrated wife and mother who shakes up circumstances by leaving her husband Ted (Dustin Hoffman) and their young boy Billy (Justin Henry).
Ted is forced to care for a child he’s barely known, and goes through a transition of his own. This Academy Award winning Best Picture...
