Recorded Sessions

In which there is 30 years of MMKR discussion, part-discussion of 3 of the 5 shorts that make up the new dawn, some other discussion re. other stuff and the usual best part of the pod - the outro song.

Where there is conversation about who else but the genius that was, SPB, with deviations into random things including Mani Ratnam et. al. Oh, and of course, how could the end credits be anyone else but the man literally describing himself (not really but might as well have been). Thank you, sir, for the music. 

Where the season number is new but the content is as random and useless as ever, in spite of broadcasting from a new continent. There is talk of Dhoni and Raina, KB, KD, and other movies etc. so forth, and the like. As usual, the redeeming quality is the ending song that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the episode. (unless of course, you count ARR amongst the listeners).

Where there is talk about cricket in youth days, dadagiri, Jio announcements, Ambani's richness, Sundar's billions, Bachchan's hospitalness amongst other randomness. Oh, and the obligatory GVM mention is, wellofcourse, there. 

Where there is talk about how unnaming of names has happened, how almost no one (except one of show hosts) cares, and how the U-turn affected almost no one except news cycles. In addition, there is other random talk about movies and shows that are watched / not watched, other myriad randomness, and, wellofcourse, GVM references, and whatifs. Also some live watching of one world-class mashup video.  

Where there is talk of how the TN Govt's renaming strategy has panned out for people, postal employees, and indeed spell checkers. In addition, there is obviously the obligatory GVM mention, some Kamal talk, some corona talk and a lot of nonsense talk.

P.S. Since one of the hosts absolutely adamant that there still exists such a thing as Kovai (and even wanted this to be the outro), this is something that is apparently a gethu of something that does not even seem to be there any more.  

Where a 12 minute short film (...for now) is dissected, analyzed, put together, and then analyzed again. Somehow, even corona is slipped in and much generation of other random references happens. Oh, and there is a one-sentence summary to boot.

References:

Where the start is not meesic but spoken word. This transcends into sequels that should be made, should not be made, and indeed should never have been made (perhaps like this episode). As ever, the saving grace is the song at the end, which, in a back-to-the-future moment, does a seld-referencial loop to the beginning, ending in, well, a nice earworm if nothing else.

Where there is talk about the spirit situation in Madras and Singapore, some #coronatalk, a business plan, a BCG Matrix mention, the passing of Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor, Udta Punjab and flying drones, all and sundry (read: Obligatory GVM mention). As ever, there is an excellent outro song, which one of the hosts is not too enamored by, but is excellent nonetheless.
