‘Okja’ Exclusive: Bong Joon Ho Takes You On Set Of His Biggest Film Ever — Watch

Bong Joon Ho's acclaimed adventure drama will be available to stream on Netflix beginning this Wednesday, June 28.
"Okja"
Costume Essentials: A floor-length pink blouse, a green belt, an insatiable hunger for capitalism.  Why It's a Great Idea: More than just a (darkly ironic) opportunity for vegetarians to show some pride in their dietary choices, dressing as the sinister CEO from Bong Joon-ho's "Okja" would be a great way to gauge how many people are actually watching Netflix's original movies. Bonus points for anyone who accents their costume with a pig, a hippo, or a very demented Jake Gyllenhaal.
