With studio mergers and AI being the talk of Hollywood in 2026, Rebecca Roberts and Kurt Szarka have a vision for a different path forward -- one that's rooted in independent filmmaking. They joined Proma and Radhika to chat about their new venture, ReadyMade Productions, and the studio's first feature film 'Brother,' which Rebecca wrote based on her own experiences navigating a loved one's addiction.

Riz Ahmed created and stars in 'Bait,' playing a young actor whose life is upended when he's rumored to be the frontrunner to play James Bond. Spoilers ahead so we recommend bingeing the show first!

Proma and Radhika both recapped Hulu’s ‘Tell Me Lies' weekly, so it was only fitting that we got together to unpack the Season 3 finale (which we later found out was a series finale). Viewer/listener discretion is advised as this episode contains discussions of mental, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Note: This was recorded before Hulu and show runner Meaghan Oppenheimer announced that Season 3 will be the show’s last, so if we talk about a hypothetical Season 4… no we don’t!

We are gathered here today to celebrate the 18th anniversary of one of our favorite movies: 27 Dresses. Join PromRad as we discuss why the movie continues to resonate with us, the iconic scenes and quotes, and why we think Tess is a terrible person.

Our first guest, writer and director of the film Humans in the Loop Aranya Sahay, stopped by the PromRad podcast to discuss his feature, which is now streaming on Netflix. Set in Jharkhand, India, Humans in the Loop centers on an indigenous woman who takes a job training AI, only to find western bias in the technology.

The end of the year means only one thing: it’s time for lists of the year’s best pop culture. Here are Proma and Radhika’s 2025 picks, including performances, TV shows, movies, and more. Follow us @itspromrad on Instagram for clips and updates!

Neeraj Ghaywan’s ‘Homebound’ has been shortlisted for Best International Feature at the 2026 Academy Awards! Proma and Radhika discuss what worked about the film (spoiler-free), the history of Indian cinema at the Oscars, and ‘Homebound’s chances at the final five.

Welcome to our show! We are Proma Khosla and Radhika Menon, entertainment writers (and longtime friends and collaborators and former roommates and lifelong friends). Join us as we bring you TV/Film reviews, analysis, hot takes, and good vibes.
