This episode took me a while to write and produce, for the simple fact that there's so much that's been packed into the 84-minute runtime of this Netflix special. I won't say much about this one. Just that Bo Burnham is a freaking genius. Watch the show. And listen to the episode. It'll stay with you. 

We're on Clubhouse as 'That Club By Shree!', where we do some fun rooms on music, cinema and comedy.

Not gonna lie, I was aboard the 'What Is This Cringe' train when I saw the 'Aurora Challenge' explode on Instagram Reels. But as it turns out, the song has had a huge impact on people. Not just the artist behind the song or the creator behind the filter. The song's legacy is unexpected, but important. Listen to the entire episode to hear what I'm talking about!

This article that I refer to by Shephali Bhatt is here: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-bytes/how-runaway-aurora-filter-became-the-new-black-on-social-amid-these-sombre-times/articleshow/83093538.cms

AIB and Advertising go back a long way. 

Tanmay Bhat and his motley crew did a video called 'A Tribute To Classic Indian Ads' featuring the a cappella group Voctronica, back in 2014. 

Cut to 7 years later, AIB doesn't really exist. But the brains that ran the show still do, albeit behind hyperactive individual IG accounts or clickbait-prone YouTube channels. 

I think with the CRED films, starring the affable Rahul Dravid to the raunchy [yes, that's how I'd like to describe him] Jackie Shroff, the writers have subverted what Indian advertising has done in the past. And that's pretty exciting for what lies ahead.

I watched this film about two weeks ago. But it's just one of those pieces of cinema that stay with you. 

In this 4-minute episode, I analyse COURT's distinctive approach to cinematography, and how the film is so much more than a mere courtroom drama. 

The film has been written and directed by Chaitanya Tamhane, and has been produced by Vivek Gomber, who has also acted in the film. 

Vira Sathidar, the protagonist of the film, recently passed away due to complications from COVID 19. May his soul rest in peace. 

This episode is dedicated to all those people who've been fighting to get through. Of course, episodes likes these aren't gonna magically improve what's happening around us. But even if it managed to entertain you for a mere 4 minutes of your day, I'll be more than happy. 

Stay safe. 

Love and strength, 

Shree. 

"Bro if you haven't been to Goa during the pandemic, are you even Indian?"

On the final edition of Cities In Cinema, we travel to the star of everyone's IG story: GOA!

Lucknow is perhaps the only city in the world where even a kantaap [slap] is delivered with kindness. 

Niharika, a visual artist, navigates us through the narrow lanes of Old Lucknow, filled with kebabs and traffic, to the 'Gurgaonfied' new parts of the city, with high-rises and SUVs alike. 

It's an atrangi episode that'll make you travel in time through the glorious past or the hopeful future, with the backdrop of a few important films based out of the city. 

Since this our 25th episode [!], our sponsors CRUNCH Granola and I have decided to do a small giveaway on @thatswhatshreesaidpod on Instagram. Give it a follow in the meantime, more deets coming real soon!
