Kushal and Karan return in 2020 to discuss one of the last two decades' most important topics; Friends - the TV show. They discuss how it's aged over time and why some of the 'jokes' can now be seen as offensive or problematic. Conversely, they also discuss the show's merits, and what positive impacts it has had on society today.

Karan and Kushal return for their first across-the-world recording, with Karan now residing in Canada and Kushal from his new home area of Belgium.  We break down Netflix film, See You Yesterday, in which two teenage science prodigies spend every spare minute working on their latest homemade invention: backpacks that enable time travel. When one of their older brothers is killed, they put their unfinished project to the test to save him. We look at the motivations of the characters, what the film means, and what it is exactly we're watching.    References:  See You Yesterday - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8743064/ Terminator: Dark Fate - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6450804/ Maleficent 2 - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4777008/ Shaft -  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4463894/ Lying and Stealing - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7558302/ Angel is Fallen - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6189022/ Aziz Ansari: Right Now - https://www.netflix.com/title/81098589 Avengers: Endgame - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4154796/ Pokémon: Detective Pikachu - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5884052/ X-Men: Dark Phoenix - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6565702/ Aladdin - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6139732/ Spider-Man: Far From Home - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6320628/

This month, Karan and Kushal discuss Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Big Sick, Lady Bird and more.  The Aziz Ansari case is also discussed and how it is surrounded by controversy after being coupled with the #TimesUp and #MeToo movements.  Note I: "Jumanji" is a reference to "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" not "Jumanji Jumanji", the song by Jack Black (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA9Ypn3jQw0)   Note II: Kumail Nanjiani's tweets were sent before the Golden Globes, not during   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4bAULTwAJU - Ashleigh Banfield's Open Letter to Aziz Ansari's Accuser  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094889/ - Cocktail http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2283362/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 - Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0440458/?ref_=tt_ov_dr - Jake Kasdan http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001410/?ref_=nv_sr_1 - Lawrence Kasdan http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5027774/ - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5462602/?ref_=nv_sr_2 - The Big Sick http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4925292/?ref_=nv_sr_1 - Lady Bird http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5649144/?ref_=nv_sr_1 - The Florida Project http://www.afi.com/afiawards/AFI-Awards-2017.aspx - American Film Institute Awards 2017 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5649144/awards?ref_=tt_ql_op_1 - The Florida Project Awards https://youtu.be/Op5UBP0ueKc - Is Rotten Romatoes Killing Cinema?

This episode, we discuss Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. [CAUTION: SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE] If you haven't seen The Last Jedi yet and you don't particularly want to hear any spoilers, it's best you avoid this episode of the podcast. Otherwise, ENJOY! We hope you enjoy your festive breaks and have a safe and happy new year.  Quick edit: We mention Justin Hartley playing Green Lantern/Oliver Queen on Smallville but we were obviously referring to him playing Green Arrow/Oliver Queen. Kushal's age is clearly catching up with him.  References:    http://www.nme.com/blogs/the-movies-blog/star-wars-the-last-jedi-questions-2171164 - NME Star Wars questions http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vibro-ax - Vibro-Ax https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/12/star-wars-episode-ix-when-does-it-come-out-who-is-in-it-carrie-fisher - Episode IX https://twitter.com/Dan_Fogelman - Dan Fogelman http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5757738/ - Boy With the Topknot http://www.vulture.com/2017/12/disney-fox-merger-what-we-know-and-dont-know.html - Disney-Fox Merger  https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo-5-guardians - Halo 5

In this long-awaited two-part episode, Kushal and Karan discuss the ever-important topic of race in society and films as well as the history of biased movie themes.   **Kushal misquotes an old statistic - The U.K. Is now 12% BAME, not 4%, as revealed by the Race and Diversity Audit 2017 that was released after this episode was recorded. This does not change the framing of the questions asked. For references, see part two's description.

Folks, greatest apologies for the lateness of this episode. We should be back on track from here.  This episode, Kushal and Karan talk about women in film. We recount some of the awesome female characters we've seen on the small and big screens as well as some of the not-so-good ones.  Resources:  Wonder Woman: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451279/ Girlboss: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5706996/?ref_=nv_sr_1  Dear White People: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5707802/?ref_=nv_sr_1  Alien: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Alien Covenant: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316204/?ref_=nv_sr_1  GLOW: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5770786/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 iZombie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3501584/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1790809/?ref_=nv_sr_1   Detaching actor's political views:  Denzel Washington: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/maria-shriver-denzel-washington-a-403978 Terrence Howard: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/terrence-howard-thinks-1x1-2-has-a-secret-system-called-terryology-and-spends-17-hours-a-day-making-10502365.html Jay Z: http://www.mtv.com/news/1451340/jay-z-gets-three-years-probation-for-un-rivera-stabbing/ Kevin Sorbo: http://www.thewrap.com/kevin-sorbo-sorry-for-calling-ferguson-protesters-animals-losers/ Vince Vaughn: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jun/01/vince-vaughn-guns-in-schools-will-prevent-mass-shootings Breaking the Silence: http://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/

In this episode, Karan and Kushal discuss Sci-Fi as a genre, as well as films within the genre, including the recently-released Alien Covenant, how Alien changed the genre and the impact that it's had. A challenge is also issued that could potentially change the course of the way both Kushal and Karan think. The shock!

Title music has been taken from Rogue One opening. Please note: This podcast was recorded before the recent death of Carrie Fisher. In this final episode of the year, we got really, really excited about Rogue One, which released in early December. Kushal tells us about the true meaning of Rogue One and how it relates to the canon of Star Wars.  Carrie, you will be greatly missed by us and fans alike. May the Force be with you.  Resources: Ahsoka Novel: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ahsoka_(novel) Rogue One: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3748528/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Hell on Wheels: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1699748/?ref_=nv_sr_2

This episode, Karan and Kushal catch up and discuss what they've watched over the last month. It's also episode 40! The big 4-0. Yes.

This episode, Karan and Kushal revisit breaking down a film - this time with Southpaw, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.  It's becoming one of the staple segments of our podcast, and it continues with episode 39.  Not a huge amount of resources this episode.  Southpaw: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1798684/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Damn, this episode was deep. After a monthly long hiatus from Karan, he and Kushal reunited to continue the Movieville Podcast. This month, they discussed what things have happened in the month Karan's been away, what they've both watched as well as what they thought go Suicide Squad.

In this episode, Karan and Kushal address an important issue in today's media: diversity.  A quick disclaimer, though: this episode is an attempt to have an open conversation about diversity issues in Film and TV, especially lack of racially diverse talent. We attempt to discuss our opinions of the current situation from our non-white perspective and do not intend any offence or negative sentiment towards any group of people. We hope everything we have said will be taken in context so we can have ongoing discussions around these sensitive topics.

This month, Karan and Kushal talk and break down Skyfall and try and find out why Karan isn't a fan. An interesting experiment we'll no doubt do again with another film. We broke the film down in various parts and analysed its subtext. We talk briefly about Batman v Superman, what we've been watching this month and of course, Star Wars.  Check out the podcast on iTunes and Stitcher.  Resources of this episode:  Skyfall The Flash Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox Batman V Superman

This month, me and Kushal discuss casting in films. Specifically, we spoke about Wonder Woman in Batman V Superman, Rey in The Force Awakens, James Bond, Dr Who and actors who have broken out of type, such as Jim Carrey, Jonah Hill and Robin Williams.  I also start to eat biscuits about halfway through the episode. Have a biscuit.  If you like the way our voices sound, follow us on @Movievillekazed and @Kushaljoshi  We're also now on Anchor under the same handles.   “Oh my god.

This month's edition of the Movieville Podcast, me and Kushal discuss marketing for film. Well, not explicitly, but we discuss how some films in recent times have utilised marketing effectively. In particular, we talk about, at length, about Deadpool, how its marketing could be construed as 'excessive', and how it actually *helped* the character on-screen. We also discussed the upcoming *Batman vs Superman* as well as *10 Cloverfield Lane*. Resources in this episode: HISHE: How it should have endedThe Deadpool Marketing is Out of ControlBrisbane is WeirdBattlefront Trailer Mark of the Spider-Man Viral Campaign Boycott Jurassic World - Pakisaurus OverdriveContact us: Twitter: @movievilleorgweb: www.movieville.org
