1 - Nine Days (2020)

A podcast in which two northern boys talk about another northern boy.

Sketch Benjamin & Alex Dopierala have taken it upon themselves to dive into the depths of acclaimed actor, Benedict Wong’s, filmography as an exercise in enjoyment, curiosity and appreciation. Join us on each episode as we  delve into a very specific selection of said filmography, (hopefully) gaining insights into the great man’s career, or at least enjoying the breadth of his range. Some films may be masterpieces, others may be total flops, and we will ultimately make the decision if, our boy Ben, made The Wong Decision, being in that project. What does “The Wong Decision” even mean? I hear you ask…and, to that, we say, don’t worry about it.

For our first episode, we kick off with what might be one of Benedict Wong’s lesser known roles, as he plays Kyo in Edson Oda’s 2020 thought piece of a movie, Nine Days. We highly recommend that you watch, or have at least seen, all of the movie’s that we are going to speak about before listening to the episode, but we absolutely recommend it in this specific case.

If you have any thoughts or comments on the movie, or what we’ve had to say, do reach out to us on our YouTube channel, or follow @sketchbenjamin on instagram, where we will be posting clips of each episode.
