How an erotic movie turned into a hilarious tale for John Mulaney and Olivia Munn's mom

In a recent stint on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," John Mulaney, the renowned stand-up comedian, shared a light-hearted story, reflecting the hilariously awkward moments life throws our way. While the comedian's love life with Olivia Munn has been making rounds on the internet, it's his camaraderie with Munn's mom, "Miss Kim," that stole the show this time.

An unexpected film choice

Mulaney reminisced about the time when Miss Kim visited the couple post the birth of their son, Malcolm. As part of their bonding ritual, they indulged in watching "one to two Korean period pieces every night." Everything seemed fine until they decided to view Park Chan-wook's 2016 film, "The Handmaiden."

Describing the experience, Mulaney said, "I'm sitting with the wonderful Miss Kim, we are on the couch together... It's right up our alley: Korea, old-fashioned, perfect. It becomes, Stephen, the most graphic, sexual, erotic — the most, like, I was truly like, 'This is what people mean by erotic.'"

As the plot of "The Handmaiden" progressed, the mood in the room went from casual movie-watching to sheer embarrassment. Based on a 2002 novel, the film narrates the tale of Nam Sook-hee and Lady Izumi Hideko's intense romantic and sexual relationship. Mulaney humorously recounted, "I can't say any more about it... I look over. Me and Miss Kim are under the same blanket... And Olivia's mom looks over at me and goes, 'I think they a little bit lesbian. What do you think?'"

From awkwardness to hearty laughs

However, the hilarity didn't end there. Mulaney added, "Then there is an oral sex scene that's off the charts... So I just look over at her and she's staring at me and she goes, 'Hormone, everybody got 'em. What do you think?'"

Stephen Colbert, trying to hold back his laughter, managed to utter, "It's a good relationship," to which Mulaney nodded in agreement, "It's a good relationship."

From bonding over Korean films to sharing amusing and awkward moments, it seems John Mulaney's relationship with Miss Kim is, indeed, a special one.
