Shabnam and Sameem are transported back to Fremont, CA; the land of weddings and nuptials. That’s where “Succession” Episode 9 of Season 1 should’ve been filmed. HBO just doesn’t know.

Logan Roy goes full desi auntie and plays games with his own family the day of his only daughter’s wedding; Tom sort of knows what’s up but Greg knows all. Kendall plans yet another takeover only to get cold c*cked at the end.

Season Finale next week!!!

Sameem and Shabnam discuss why wealthy elite people love ranches so much in their continued rewatch of Succession in S1 E7, “Austerlitz” on HBO Max.

We’re lucky we’re not in the public eye; but if we were; we wouldn’t turn a family therapy session at a New Mexico ranch into a photo session like Logan Roy does. Therapy does not go well as Shiv goes to visit her father’s mortal enemy, Gil, a presidential candidate that needs Shiv to fix his image with her father’s conglomerate. Kendall makes an appearance and is in a realllllly good mood.

David Ellison has copied Logan Roy and bought CBS from Paramount. Nice.

Shabnam and Sameem are back with retro movie Thursdays; all the way back to 2024 when gay marriage was still in its infancy. Head over to Disney + or Hulu to watch '‘A Nice Indian Boy” starring Karan Soni and Jonathan Groff from Hamilton fame.

Watch this movie with the whole khandan (family); it is bound to make you uncomfortable/cry/squirm if you’re from a somewhat repressed childhood.

Otherwise, it’s an extremely feel good and heartfelt movie. Go watch it and let us know at [email protected] if it makes you believe in love again.

Have you ever been confused on how visitors go to the toilet in India? Well, Shabnam and Sameem will guide you on a path to righteous cleanliness if you happen to find yourself peering over a hole on your trip to South Asia.

“Outsourced” from 2006 tells the story of how Todd Anderson was forced to go to India by his corporate overlords otherwise he loses his stock options. He meets and falls in love (or lust), learns to eat with his hands (oh, the horror) and our favorite nemesis of India makes an appearance within Todd himself …. diarrhea.

Zohran Mamdani’s mom, Mira Nair did NOT write, produce or direct this movie but we want to use them for the SEO.

Shabnam and Sameem discuss Season 1 Episode 4 of their Succession rewatch called “Sad Sack Wasp Trap” found on HBO Max.

The worst people on Earth of course have a “charity” gala and Connor can’t wait to get his hands on it. Meanwhile, Kendall and Daddy Logan aren’t seeing eye to eye on the Succession plan. Oh and there’s a@#holes leaking that Shiv is trying to stop from dripping further and Tom inherits the nastiest virus before inflicting it upon Greg.
