6d ago47:36

47:36

You'll know Archie Madekwe from hit films Saltburn, Gran Turismo and Midsommar... What you might not know about this talented young actor, is his story of drama school, and what he was made to go through and survive to get to where he is now. For the first time, Archie talks about his experience at LAMDA (The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Ar…

Stree 2 21:45

11d ago21:45

21:45

Stree 2 is an overlong, unfunny, and ultimately unnecessary sequel that has no idea how to deliver scares or laughs. Every scene in the film goes on for too long, the jokes are repeated to the point of redundancy, and some of the diversions are baffling to behold. Why is Akshay Kumar in this? How old is Tamannaah Bhatia’s character? Why are there n…

MICHELLE VISAGE - 'I was scared to death of sex' 51:47

13d ago51:47

51:47

From adoption to Ru Paul’s drag race, via more than a few New York clubs, Michelle Visage has made herself a global queer icon. But Cush gets to know the woman behind the ‘Visage’ (a name she gave herself while voguing and party hopping in 80s NYC). Michelle really opens-up about her difficult childhood, beginning with adoption into a New Jersey fa…

MICHAEL KORS - I said no to Anna Wintour 41:05

20d ago41:05

41:05

His name is a brand that's a household name: Michael Kors, the global fashion phenomenon, joins Cush in New York for this episode of Origins. He talks to Cush about his upbringing in Long Island New York, surrounded by women, as an only child where his birthdays were celebrated like a national holiday. He speaks about his start in Paris the same se…

CTRL 26:24

23d ago26:24

26:24

Vikramaditya Motwane’s fascination with genre cinema continues. But his latest film, CTRL, isn't exactly going to win him any new fans. We discuss the film’s mess of a script, which tries to cram in way too many ideas than it needed to. We also talk about its elaborate conspiracy thriller section and its melancholic third act. Along the way, we pra…

JULIANNA MARGULIES - I came from chaos before ER and The Good Wife 42:46

27d ago42:46

42:46

Star of The Good Wife, and Cush's on-screen best friend, award-winning actress Julianna Margulies joins Cush to talk about her upbringing. Cush and Julianna reflect on their time filming The Good Wife, and Cush's nerve-wracking first day - where she was told by the director 'it will get better'. Julianna gives unique insight into her challenging, c…

Kottukkaali 20:01

27d ago20:01

20:01

Kottukkaali, writer-director P.S. Vinothraj’s follow-up to the acclaimed Koozhangal, divided us down the middle. We speak about the techniques Vinothraj uses to tell an ever-evolving, odyssey-like story about a group of people accompanying a young woman to her exorcism. We discuss the brief bursts of horror and comedy and talk about the larger poin…

Bonus: New show! WSKRS: We Share Knowledge Regarding seaQuest! 2:32:47

1M ago2:32:47

2:32:47

As mentioned, many times, during our last season of Sex Archie, we are following it up with a podcast about a show from the past: seaQuest DSV! Here is the first episode, and you can find the rest wherever you get your podcasts. It's a show with huge swings between (and sometimes within) seasons, characters that deserve better, and a drama-filled p…

HARLAN COBEN - We kissed on the bus and everyone was grossed out 44:23

1M ago44:23

44:23

Harlan Coben has sold over 80 million books, and 12 of his novels have been adapted for film and TV. How on earth does someone gain such success? Cush talks to Harlan about his childhood - growing up in 'Soprano's land' (aka Livingston, New Jersey) in the shadow of gangsters and a nuclear missile base; his real life love story of meeting his wife a…

DAVID SCHWIMMER - I worked for an illegal operation (by mistake!) 47:51

1M ago47:51

47:51

David Schwimmer is an icon - a master of comedy, who we all feel we know insideout as Ross Geller. He appeared in 236 episodes of Friends, runs his own theatre company (for the last 36 years!), is a dad and also a great friend of Cush's. In this episode David talks about growing up, a Jewish boy in LA with a mum who people called The Pitbull, the j…

1
Sector 36 24:17

1M ago24:17

24:17

Sector 36 is a gratuitously grisly dramatisation of the gruesome Nithari serial murders from around two decades ago. But because it unfolds with zero nuance, the movie mines cheap thrills out of a real-life horror story. We talk about the strange arcs that Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal’s characters have been given, the haphazard narrative stru…

1
POPPY DELEVINGNE – I was the ugly duckling 45:44

2M ago45:44

45:44

If you look up Poppy Delevingne, she’s listed on the internet as being the ‘sister of Cara Delevingne’ and a ‘socialite’. In her conversation with Cush, Poppy explains why she finds this demeaning and belittling. Poppy is a successful actress and model (a former foot model which Cush goes into in great detail). She and Cush have been friends for ye…

1
Kill 20:01

2M ago20:01

20:01

Kill might be one of the rare movies that actually benefit from a remake—that’s how royally it fumbles both its action and revenge plot. We discuss the film’s indecipherable approach to close combat, the lead actor Lakshya’s wooden performance, and the lack of inventiveness in the story. We also talk about the unearned John Wick and The Raid compar…

1
GOLDA ROSHEUVEL - I had a boyfriend at school, he’s also gay now 45:38

2M ago45:38

45:38

Golda Rosheuvel graces the screen as Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton. Golda's journey began in Guyana, South America, where, as a young child, she and her parents were forced to relocate to the UK during a harsh winter. Before rising to fame, Golda pursued a career as an athlete, excelling in various sports like athletics and swimming, and even train…

ANNA WINTOUR - I was fired because I couldn’t pin a dress 38:57

2M ago38:57

38:57

Dame Anna Wintour is the biggest name in fashion. As Global Editorial Director of Vogue, Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast and Chair of the Met Gala, she is an inspirational titan of the industry. Anna came from exalted beginnings, yet she went on to supersede all expectations. In this conversation with Cush, she describes herself as being ‘bad a…

Kalki 2898 AD 22:35

2M ago22:35

22:35

The year’s biggest Indian hit, Kalki 2898 AD, is just as irredeemable as Prabhas’ other recent films. But unlike those movies, this one barely features Prabhas at all and drags on for three hours without offering a single character you can latch on to. We talk about the film’s poor construction, subpar world-building, and superficial writing. We al…

1
Angry Young Men 22:20

2M ago22:20

22:20

Angry Young Men, the three-part documentary about writers Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar’s partnership, is a massive missed opportunity. We discuss the show’s cagey approach to its legendary subjects, the overwhelming feeling of self-satisfaction, and the unearned points it tries to score for highlighting the plight of writers in the film business. We…

1
Chandu Champion 21:47

2M ago21:47

21:47

Chandu Champion finds director Kabir Khan returning to 83 territory, for better or worse. We talk about the film’s shoddy storytelling structure, its complete lack of interest in developing its protagonist, and its over-reliance on crutches like music and contrivances. We also discuss Khan’s tendency to underestimate his audiences’ intellect and hi…

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba 22:13

3M ago22:13

22:13

In Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey return as the murderous couple of hell who were introduced in 2021’s Haseen Dillruba. The sequel boasts an entirely different visual aesthetic and its romantic-thriller tone stands in contrast to the tongue-in-cheek pulpiness of the first film. We discuss what a huge mistake this is, w…

1
Longlegs 18:11

3M ago18:11

18:11

Longlegs is the rare psychological horror movie that truly gets under your skin. Featuring an instantly iconic performance by Nicolas Cage, the movie creates an ominous atmosphere with the help of a measured pace and an unsettling reliance on silence. We discuss the film’s grounded first act and its rapid descent into full-blown supernatural horror…

1
Maharaj 23:40

4M ago23:40

23:40

They might as well have called Maharaj “Junaid Khan’s Launch Vehicle” because naming it after the villain makes even less sense. We discuss the film’s many irredeemable flaws, which include shaming the victim of sexual abuse, projecting a red flag male character as the protagonist, and resorting to the problematic trope of “fridging.” We also talk …

1
Kota Factory Season 3 22:32

4M ago22:32

22:32

In its third and potentially final season, Kota Factory seems to be responding to past criticism. We discuss the show’s sudden bout of self-reflection, and the confused manner in which it examines the harsh realities of towns like Kota and the industries they service. We also talk about its aversion to human moments, and why the handful of them thi…

LSD2: Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 22:07

4M ago22:07

22:07

Dibakar Banerjee is going to have to make two good movies to compensate for whatever hellish assault on the senses Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 was. We discuss the film’s muddled social commentary, the frustration oozing out of every frame, and the general incoherence of the arguments. We also compare LSD2’s aesthetic and thematic shortfalls, especially w…

1
Crew 18:09

5M ago18:09

18:09

Crew, the new heist movie starring Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon, effectively weaponises middle-class angst against corporate overlords. We praise the film’s dedication to punching up, the instant relatability that it is able to generate for its characters, and its tightly constructed first half. But we also criticise its endless produ…

1
Madgaon Express 19:23

5M ago19:23

19:23

Writer-director Kunal Kemmu’s Madgaon Express smartly avoids taking the sleazy route and mostly succeeds in finding the soul of its cartoonish characters. We talk about the film’s familiar set-up, and how it transports a Hangover-like premise to India. We also discuss the performances of Divyenndu, Pratik Gandhi and Avinash Tiwary, while noting the…

Bonus 18: BREAKING EDGAR EVERNEVER NEWS 40:36

6M ago40:36

40:36

As promised, we took the chance to ask Chad Michael Murray himself about Edgar Evernever. His answers will shock you (unless they don't). We also talk about some other experiences at C2E2 2024, and digress into the sacred state of uncle-hood.Please listen to The Disappearances of Lydia Fontayne and join the mailing list at https://www.lydiadisappea…

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar 25:57

6M ago25:57

25:57

Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s big-budget streaming debut, is yet another high-profile Netflix failure. A summation and culmination of Bhansali’s lifelong ambitions, the show represents everything that is wrong with his sensibilities and style-over-substance storytelling. We discuss the show’s flawed understanding …

1
Civil War 22:10

6M ago22:10

22:10

In addition to being a thought-provoking movie about how close we are to disintegrating as a society, Alex Garland’s Civil War is a rollicking cinematic experience. We discuss the film’s affection for journalism, the intricate character work that Garland is able to accomplish via action sequences, and the film’s stand-out moments. One of them invol…

1
Amar Singh Chamkila 27:07

7M ago27:07

27:07

Is Amar Singh Chamkila a long-awaited return to form for director Imtiaz Ali, or is it another let-down from the once-promising filmmaker? We discuss the film’s inventive approach to the music biopic genre, if not narratively then at least formally. We also talk about Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra’s central performances as the slain husband-w…

1
Aattam 22:04

7M ago22:04

22:04

Aattam, the latest Malayalam-language gem that further solidifies the industry’s artistic stronghold on the cinema landscape of the country, offers an inventive spin on the whodunnit genre. We discuss the film’s gripping narrative, ambitious social commentary, and director Anand Ekarshi’s bold voice. We also talk about the many moral quandaries tha…

1
Fighter 29:46

7M ago29:46

29:46

Is Fighter another in the long and increasingly problematic line of hyper-nationalistic Indian action movies, or is its biggest problem that it can’t look beyond star Hrithik Roshan? We discuss the many missteps that director Siddharth Anand makes in his follow-up to Pathaan, the unnecessary songs and the momentum-killing asides, but we also talk a…

How do you say goodbye? How do you send off a period of your life, full of change, full of memories? How do you give tribute to all that came before? After Riverdale attempted its impossible task, we have tried it ourselves.It's not the song that saved our worldBut it's the song whose melodyIt keeps you in my heartIt brings you back to meThis is ou…

Murder Mubarak 24:20

7M ago24:20

24:20

Murder Mubarak lowers the bar even further for Netflix India, and feels like a particularly annoying missed opportunity. We talk about the inept filmmaking, the strange structure, and the over-the-top performances of its ensemble cast. We also wonder how the finished film can look like something that was snatched away from director Homi Adajania an…

1
Merry Christmas 21:14

8M ago21:14

21:14

Merry Christmas, director Sriram Raghavan’s follow-up to the critical and commercial hit Andhadhun, is nothing to celebrate. We discuss the film’s lack of discernible aesthetic, the complete absence of any spark between stars Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi, and its baffling climax. Along the way, we discuss the decision to reduce an important ch…

Dune: Part Two 31:46

8M ago31:46

31:46

Dune: Part Two is being called one of the greatest sequels ever made. It isn’t. We discuss the problems that we’ve had with both Dune films, our issues with their cold tone, the seemingly rushed plot despite a nearly three-hour run-time, and the sheer number of characters to keep track of. But we also appreciate director Denis Villeneuve’s handling…

All India Rank 22:47

8M ago22:47

22:47

All India Rank, the feature directorial debut of Varun Grover, is a refreshing change of pace for Bollywood, but still not as good as it could have been. We discuss all the ways in which the coming-of-age drama avoids making the same mistakes as 12th Fail or Kota Factory, its ability to evoke a particular time and place, and its reliance on tried-a…

Dunki 28:42

8M ago28:42

28:42

Dunki, the third and final Shah Rukh Khan film of 2023, wastes all the goodwill he had built with Pathaan and Jawan. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki ranks among the worst films we’ve covered on the podcast and is outdated to the point of being offensive. We talk about the film’s most insensitive scenes, Hirani’s disinterest in taking real-life g…

Bhakshak 19:41

9M ago19:41

19:41

Bhakshak, starring Bhumi Pednekar, is the latest socially conscious call-to-action from Shah Rukh Khan’s production company, and even though it’s a more grounded film, its sensibilities aren’t too dissimilar from Jawan. We discuss what we liked and disliked about the film’s portrayal of hyperlocal journalism, its depiction of real-life atrocities, …

Joram 16:10

9M ago16:10

16:10

Joram, the fourth feature film from director Devashish Makhija, juggles multiple tones and narratives. But is it successful at it? We discuss Manoj Bajpayee’s mostly silent central performance as a displaced tribal man running for his life, and the film’s heavy handed socio-political commentary. We also wonder if the movie would’ve worked better as…

Animal 29:21

9M ago29:21

29:21

Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, is hardly as offensive as director Sandeep Reddy Vanga probably intended it to be, but it’s aggravating on many levels nonetheless. We discuss the film’s infantile approach to its themes and Vanga’s dedication to being edgy at the expense of storytelling and character development. We also talk about the film’s unbear…

1
Salaar 24:47

9M ago24:47

24:47

Is Salaar the worst movie we’ve covered on the podcast? It might be. We discuss the incomprehensible plotting, Prashanth Neel’s overwhelming direction, and debate about the film’s three major action set-pieces. We also eat our words about Salman Khan’s dedication and Zack Snyder’s poor world-building after having seen a disengaged Prabhas and an un…

Tiger 3 26:47

10M ago26:47

26:47

Shockingly, Tiger 3—the fifth overall instalment in the YRF Spy Universe—isn’t entirely unwatchable. But the movie could’ve been so much better with just about any other star in the lead role instead of Salman Khan, who not only struggles to emote but also seems pained to move physically. We talk about the film’s Pathaan-like progressive politics, …

12th Fail 24:55

10M ago24:55

24:55

Is 12th Fail actually one of the best Hindi movies of 2023 or is it massively overrated? We find ourselves wondering why writer-director Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s latest film is getting rave reviews, because all we could see was a deeply problematic, all too simplistic story about a young man let down by society. We also talk about Vikrant Massey’s perf…
