In what can be described as an episode exclusively inspired by the success of (and the subsequent backlash to) Sean Baker's "Anora" at this year's Academy Awards, Baker-fan Dhruv moderates also-Baker-fan Hemant and new-to-Baker's-films Cris' discussion about his latest film and the reception to it. Listen to the full episode to hear Hemant and Dhruv first discuss what they love about Baker's approach to representing marginalized characters in his previous films before Cris and Hemant discuss "Anora" and its reception in detail. (This episode was recorded before Dhruv had watched the film -- he expands on his thoughts on "Anora" in an upcoming ep where he discusses it as part of the "Best Film of 2024, Non-Indian Ed.")

2:14:22

In what can be described as an episode exclusively inspired as a response to the exclusion of "Queer" and "Challengers" in this year's Academy Awards, Luca Guadagnino-devotee Cris invites spoilsport Dhruv to talk about the director's latest release "Queer" and how wonderfully it complements the director's wonderful "Call Me By Your Name." Listen to the full episode to hear Cris express his love towards Guadagnino's films as Dhruv tries to explain his ambivalence towards them. This is before both of them join forces to lambast the online discourse that consistently lambasts these (and other) films about morally troubling topics and relationships. Major Spoilers for both "CMBYN" and "Queer"!

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu: Forever in the Shadow of F. W. Murnau and Werner Herzog's Nosferatwos #142 1:56:40

منذ 8 weeks1:56:40

1:56:40

Hello, Hello, Hello, This is the second part of the discussion we had on Robert Eggers! Here, Dhruv – joined by the brain-melting and blood-sucking vampire, Varun, and his “spirited animal” friend, Hemant – tries to talk about Eggers’ latest horror film, “Nosferatu,” in relation to F. W. Murnau’s 1922 German Expressionist classic, and Werner Herzog’s existentially despairing 1979 remake of it. But little does he know the digressions this deadly duo has in store for him… Listen to the full episode to hear him respond to the absurdity of Varun referencing Zoya Akhtar’s “Dil Dhadakne Do” when talking about Murnau’s classic, or, worse still, the Sridevi-and-Anil-Kapoor-starrer “Judaai” when he’s talking about the Eggers’ version. There’s plenty of discussion about how these films, despite tackling the same story, have such drastically different treatments. But that’s if you can look past those comparisons… Best of luck to all!

Robert Eggers & His Acutely Authentic Brand of Nightmarish Cinema #141 2:04:02

منذ 8 weeks2:04:02

2:04:02

Hello, Hello, Hello! In what is another one of our director retrospective episodes, Dhruv, Amartya, and Aryan (from America) talk about the 3 feature films directed by much-revered horror director Robert Eggers, whose latest film, “Nosferatu," just recently released this week in India! (We have a whole “Nosferatu" themed ep planned to be recorded and released in the coming week, which includes an extended discussion on the 1922 silent film directed by F.W. Murnau, the 1979 version directed by Werner Herzog, and the 2024, one directed by Eggers!) We begin the episode by positioning Eggers as a (or the ) key figure who kickstarted the patented-A24-brand-of-elevated horror cinephiles have increasingly grown weary of now, and how his first film, “The Vvitch,” in particular, sets a template for that specific type of arty horror film that’s never really been replicated as successfully afterward. Except, maybe by himself, with “The Lighthouse" (2019) – his second film, also distributed by A24, that pushes even further into the type of horror film that thrives on ambiguity and atmosphere vs. satisfying generic thrills. And then comes “The Northman" (2022). Listen to the full episode to hear us argue, in detail, about the value (or lack thereof) of his third film, which Aryan—rather worryingly—warns Amartya and Dhruv is better than his recent foray into mainstream cinema, "Nosferatu.

The Most Disappointing Films of 2024 | Disclaimer, Emilia Pérez, Agra & 3 more! #140 2:48:29

منذ 10 weeks2:48:29

2:48:29

Hello, Hello, Hello Dhruv and Amartya’s first foray into this type of episode – that we have consciously avoided up until now – comes courtesy of our new QID member and admin of our Twitter page ( https://x.com/qidpodcast ) – Cris ( https://x.com/limjaeseven ). Rather than simply bash films released this year that we unanimously hated, however, we’ve tried to talk constructively about a variety of films that have proved divisive amongst critics and audiences. There are some high-profile projects directed by well-reputed auteurs and critically well-received at major film festivals that left all of us scratching our heads ( Emilia Perez , Disclaimer, and Blitz ). But other films – like Jigra , Agra, and, to a lesser extent, Malaikottai Valliban – divided opinion even amongst the three of us. Listen to the full episode to hear a spoiler-filled discussion and/or rant on these 5 films and 1 limited TV series as we – for once – try to make a case against valuing the auteur theory. TIMECODES Introduction - [00:00 – 11:20] “Emilia Pérez” - [11:20 – 37:33] “Blitz” - [37:33 – 54:05] “Disclaimer” - [54:05 – 01:22:19] “Malaikottai Valliban” - [01:22:19 – 01:49:45] “Agra” - [01:49:45 – 02:23:18] “Jigra” - [02:23:18 – 02:41:26] Outro - [02:41:26 – 02:48:29] Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!

Talk the Talk - Discussing Meiyazhagan & I Want to Talk | Shoojit Sircar | C Prem Kumar #139 1:52:51

منذ 11 weeks1:52:51

1:52:51

Hello, Hello, Hello! In this new (but considerably delayed) episode, we talk about two films that approach the subject of talking differently -- "I Want to Talk" and "Meiyazhagan." ' I Want to Talk ,' directed by Shoojit Sircar and starring Abhishek Bachchan , continues the director's trend to push his films to the brink of becoming anti-dramas. C Prem Kumar's ' Meiyazhagan, ' on the other hand, is a classic tear-jerker. The new Tamizh film, starring a sentimental Arvind Swamy and an effervescent Karthi, indulges in nostalgia and episodic storytelling to engage its audiences. Check out the episode to know what we thought of these drastically different approaches to capturing conversation (or the lack of it) in cinema.

All We Imagine as Light & The Gently Surreal Cinema of Payal Kapadia #138 1:50:32

1:50:32

Hello, Hello, Hello! In this very special, if slightly delayed episode, Dhruv & Amartya are joined by returning guest Cris (now " not the token queer representation for QID"), reincarnated host-cum-guest Aryan (from America), and first-time-but-hopefully-recurring-guest Prakhar Patidar, to talk about the film every Indie Awards Circuit talk show and Indian cinephile is currently talking about -- Payal Kapadia's "All We Imagine as Light." Because everyone already seems to have written all sorts of essays and reviews on AWIAL (some of them are linked below!), we decided to expand the discussion beyond that. The first hour (of this 110 min podcast) is dedicated to exploring Payal Kapadia’s early short film work, her, at times, overpowering indebtedness to certain filmic styles (namely, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who is mentioned at least 20 times in this discussion), and how her first feature film, “A Night of Knowing Nothing” (2021), breaks away from that. The second hour involves a full, spoiler-filled discussion of AWIAL – the things we liked about it, the things we didn’t, and the things we hope to like more about it on a rewatch. Listen to the full episode to hear us also -- dismiss the all-male Indian Jury who dismissed AWIAL as India’s Oscar Entry for its lack of “Indianness” and debate what “Indianness” really is!

Is Gladiator 2 any good? | What is up with FFC's Megalopolis? #137 1:44:53

منذ 14 weeks1:44:53

1:44:53

Hello Hello Hello! In this new episode, we discuss two films -- "Gladiator 2" and "Megalopolis" -- directed by two stalwarts of Hollywood cinema -- Ridley Scott and Francis Ford Coppola -- that embody two different filmmaking ethos. Gladiator 2 is the quintessential Hollywood sequel to the 2000 film "Gladiator," winner of the "Best Picture" Academy Award that year. It's bigger, safer, and same-r -- directed by a filmmaker whose content on speedrunning through his filmmaking process to get the studio product out as soon as possible. "Megalopolis," on the other hand, is a self-funded multi-million dollar passion project, mulled over for 20-odd years by its maker, and made with the sort of bonkers sensibility only an old man who made "Apocalypse Now" can have. Is one better than the other? Or do both succumb to different kinds of auteuritis? Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reaches more people!

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining - The Horrors of Everything (including Book-to-Screen Adaptation) #136 1:49:53

منذ 19 weeks1:49:53

1:49:53

It's no longer Halloween Month because we're one day late in uploading this, but regardless, here's our penultimate ep on Kubrick (one more for Noirvember!) and the final episode for Spooky Season! Hemant and Amartya have ditched Dhruv on his much-anticipated trip to the Overlook Hotel, but he's joined by two returning guests -- the perpetually disgruntled Varun and the perpetually enthusiastic Arijit -- each of who provides their contrasting opinions on Stanley Kubrick's most discussed film of all time -- "The Shining" (1980). Everything -- from the film's divergences from Stephen King's original novel to bonkers and fruitful conspiracy theories surrounding the film's layers of subtext to wildly contrasting opinions on the performances of the central cast -- is discussed here. All -- we promise -- in a civil and hopefully organized way. Major spoilers, of course, for everything "The Shining" related -- the novel, the film, "Room 237," and even, to some extent, Mike Flanagan's "Doctor Sleep." Do listen to the full episode to let us know what you think of the film (and the novel!), and if anything we contributed to its already endless discourse was of any value!

Hammer Horror Films 101 | Dracula (1958) | Rasputin - The Mad Monk (1966) #135 1:24:48

منذ 19 weeks1:24:48

In our third Halloween-themed episode this month, Varun (playing podcast host) and Dhruv discuss a sub-genre of British horror films best characterized as a cross between classy and exploitation horror. (Think, as Varun says, "somewhere between the B-movie camp classics made by the Ramsay Brothers and Edgar Wright's "Last Night in Soho"). Treating this episode as our introduction to this sub-genre of films produced under the Hammer Production banner (which gives it the name - Hammer Horror!), we first talk about the origin of their horror films in the 50s. Then, we specifically talk about two films (out of a gazillion) that they made in their glory days of the late 50s and 60s. The first, actually very good one is Terence Fischer's adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, titled "Horror of Dracula" in the U.S; the second is Don Sharp's rudderless "Rasputin - The Mad Monk," which both Varun and Dhruv call one of the most "boring" horror films you could make on a character whose life is so full of incident and excitement. Listen to the full episode to hear us talk about why one of them works while the other doesn't and what exactly is the appeal (and limitation) of Hammer Horror films today!

Horror Movie Catch-Up for 2024! ft. The Substance, Longlegs, Oddity, Strange Darling & many more! #134 2:26:20

In our second Halloween-themed episode this month, Dhruv and Amartya are joined by returning guest Arijit (last heard in our “Elevated” Horror film discussion!) to talk about a LOT of 2024 horror films that have already been released and are available to watch online. We first go through a lot of titles we have already discussed in other episodes, asking Arijit to share his non-spoilery thoughts on them before talking about 9 (yes, 9!) horror films that we have randomly selected from this year. 5 of them involve non-spoiler discussions because at least one of us has not seen the film that's the topic of discussion. The Big 4, though – “The Substance,” “Longlegs,” “Oddity” and “Strange Darling” – are spoiler-filled discussions – delving into everything that makes them work (or not!). Listen to the full episode to hear more about general horror movie trends, what the horror genre means to us now, what sub-genre of horror films each of us gravitate to, and much much more!

Kinds of Kindness & Waves of (Greek) Weirdness | The Absurd Cinema of Yorgos Lanthimos #133 1:21:24

منذ 23 weeks1:21:24

1:21:24

In the first (of four!) episodes planned for Halloween month, we're entering not the King-sized American genre worlds populated by slasher killers, raging alcoholics, and traumatized ghosts but a distinctly Greek one. This, as our guest, Panos Liakos (NYU graduate; freelance writer for The New Herald), tells us, is the "Yorgos Cosmos" -- built on exploring the tragi-comic absurdity of human existence. It's a style of horror/dark comedy that's distinctly Greek -- originating from the "Greek Weird Wave" movement, internationally recognized as a representation of and response to the Greek Financial Crisis in 2010. But its -- and especially its most famous figure, Yorgos Lanthimos' growing international appeal -- also speaks to its universal appeal: for who hasn't felt the Kafkaesque dread of getting crushed by a strictly ordered, almost automaton existence and then tried (and failed to) escape in comically absurd ways? Dhruv and Panos discuss all this by first talking about the “Greek Weird Wave,” then Yorgos Lanthimos’ eclectic filmography, and then his latest film, “Kinds of Kindness,” in spoiler-filled detail. TIME CODES Introduction: [00:00 – 08:48] Greek Weird Wave 101 - [08:48 – 30:42] Yorgos Lanthimos’ Cosmos: [30:42 – 49:00] “Kinds of Kindness”: [49:00 - 01:17:26] Outro: [01:17:26 - 01:21:24] ------------------------------------------------------------- You can (and should!) read Panos’ pieces on both Lanthimos and “Poor Things” here: 1.
