The big contender for the 2020 Academy Awards was the much talked about dark comedy/thriller "Parasites" by South Korean director Pon Joon-ho. But while critics and many fans (myself included) loved "Parasites" and talked about it throughout 2019, many probably missed the film and wondered what all the fuss was about.

Well, good news: you can now watch "Parasite" online from the comfort of any screen. What's more, your best option at the moment is to rent (or buy) the film digitally from Amazon, Apple, Google Play, and other online retailers.

Yes, I often purchase optical media versions of my favorite films, but I chose to purchase "Parasite" from Apple. The main reason for getting this format is that this is a 4K HDR release, and it appears that the studio has no plans to release a 4K Blu-ray at this stage. It is also MoviesAnywhere compatible, so it can be played on any service.

Also, for those who have already visited the Park family's wonderfully designed mansion, we have provided links to stream the rest of Pon Joon-ho's catalog. Fortunately, many of these films are available for free. I first discovered Pon Joon-ho with The Host, and I can't wait to delve deeper into his back catalog.
