For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Kill Boksoon (2023), a Korean action-thriller about a typical middle-class mom, who Is secretly one of the world’s most effective assassins, having achieved a 100% success rate on her targets. Her boss gives her a particularly difficult job that puts her responsibilities at work and home in conflict. Can moms still rock? I guess we’ll find out. It is the best-known work to date of director Byun Sung-hyun, who does not have any other major hits to his name.

After that is Bee Movie (2007), a Dreamworks animation about Jerry Seinfled as a bee who decides to sue humanity to protest the exploitation of his species. You may better know this film as the sources of many ironic memes, playing on the absurdity of the film’s existence, in which it represents a whole category of pop-cultural detritus. Let’s check it out. Directors Simon J. Smith and Steve Hickner also helmed The Prince of Egypt (1998) and, uhh, Penguins of Madagascar (2014).
