December 29, 2023 Episode 7: Ugly Cackling and Personal Attacks ☠️☠️☠️
In the most unhinged episode yet, we finally give up all pretense of having our shit together. TT is delirious due to a head cold. Mais is her usual self - pragmatic, yet vicious. At this point, what even is this podcast about?

July 21, 2023Episode 6: Error 404 - Effort not found 🚫🚫🚫
In this much-delayed episode: Unhinged madness. As per usual. 😜😜😜
08:50 - Mais enlightens us on the unexpected incestuousness of a beloved classic (yikes);

18:00 - We lament how Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani is giving us ABSOLUTELY nothing and the absolute dumpster-fire Bawaal is sure to be;

31:00 - We discuss the heart of the goddamn issue - the complete lack of effort in mainstream corporate-driven entertainment, as opposed to smaller passion projects like TTRPG shows on Youtube;

41:11 - Our opinions on some stuff that's been announced in Bollywood; Alia joining YRF's Spyverse, Katrina Kaif/Vijay Sethupathi's Merry Christmas, Jawan, OMG2, Tere Ishk Mein;

53:55 - We go into the importance of good writing/performance: of how K-drama King the Land is absolutely not reinventing the wheel in any way, but is still a good comfort watch; whereas shows like Succession and The Bear deliver on the layers of complex characters;

58:40 - Mais tries to tell us about the complexity of Jhok Sarkaar but proceeds to have a hilarious menty b over not remembering the name of a certain veteran actor, and then finally gives up the pretense of caring about Bilal Ashraf's existence;

1:07:14 - Discussion about K-drama "Celebrity", which Mais didn't even watch but has a lot of opinions on; and TT *did* watch but has nothing much to say about (coz it was that fucking boring), and other miscellaneous random nonsense banter and bickering.

10:24 - Mais gives us her impressions of Pathaan; now that the hype is over, we finally discuss the QUALITY of this movie;

25:15 - We discuss the Ponniyin Selvan movies; how non-South Indians perceive such cinema, and how it compares to other South Indian behemoths like the Rajamouli movies and KGF; the lack of originality in content produced by Bollywood, but how everyone is hankering to make the next "pan-Indian" megahit;

52:00 - We segue into the state of Pakistani dramas; Mais catches us up on the current (controversial) state of Tere Bin, and we discuss how much "feminism" can excuse a badly-written female character;

01:16:55 - Non-desi watches updates; and our realization that Thai BL is just AO3 fanfic come to life (in the most delightful way!)
