Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo are reunited with Brekky host Taylah Strano for this week's globe-trotting edition of the Movie Squad podcast.

The episode opens with Simon and Tristan's review of Asghar Farhadi's A Hero, which follows in the footsteps of the Iranian filmmaker's Oscar-winners A Separation and The Salesman. In it, a man becomes a local celebrity—and then a pariah—as a result of a white lie and a spiralling series of poor decisions.

Then, Tristan takes a look at the Indian (and international) box office sensation RRR, an epic action-musical that throws two historical figures together for an invented adventure, pitting these fast friends against English colonisers.

A Hero arrives in Australian cinemas soon, with advance screenings in select theatres. RRR is now available to stream on Netflix.
