In this episode, we review Ali's wedding, the first Australian-Muslim love story. After a reckless lie, the son of a Muslim cleric, Ali finds himself caught between his sense of duty and following his heart. He must follow through with his arranged marriage or be with the girl he truly loves. Suffice to say, this movie is a privilege check throughout.

This week we watched Ali's Wedding on Netflix and it made us think of a couple of things: - Can we as first generation children follow our hearts without consequences? - How did growing up first generation affect our relationship with our identity and culture? Join us as we answer these questions and dive into this discussion of identity. Music by DJWhatsForDinner
Shaun and Tosin play Grumpy old men and try to one up each other with 'AND ANOTHER THING!!...' comments while reviewing Dark Phoenix, what is hopefully, thankfully the swansong of the Non-MCU XMEN, We all get bowled over by Ali's Wedding (spoiler alert, we loved it) Shaun goes to see a movie marketed as a bit of a horror and doesn't hate it, Sharon can only imagine what it will be like when Shaun and Tosin actually watch a Christian film. Tosin finds Pokemon Cute and Ali Wong hot.EnjoySupport Netflix vs Cinema by donating to their Tip Jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/netflixvscinemaFind out more at https://netflixvscinema.pinecast.coThis podcast is powered by Pinecast.
Ali's Wedding actor, Maha Wilson, joins me in the chat cave to talk about a life that includes spending 15 months travelling from Iraq to Australia with her family at age 6, making home videos with her sister in Sydney, and pursuing a career as an actor.
Ali's Wedding is like The Castle for the 21st Century. It's fun, idiosyncratic, and has a tonne of heart. This one's going straight to the pool room.
Ali's Wedding, God's Own Country and Girls Trip were discussed. With Thomas Caldwell, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Emma Westwood.
Apparently Australia's first Muslim rom-com, the film beautifully reimagines the genre's beats from that perspective. One of my favourite films of the year. Ratings System Longneck of Melbourne Bitter - an excellent film. Sublimely entertaining, meaningful or both. Pint of Kilkenny - a very good, highly recommended film. Stubby of Reschs - a good film and worth your time. Schooner of Carlton Draught - Not great aye. But perhaps an interesting idea or two. Schooner of Tooheys New - Shithouse

Ali's Wedding (his film), Good Muslim Boy (his book), die hard Bomber (his football team)... Are just some of the things you might associate with this week's guest in the chat cave, Osamah Sami. Osamah opens up about his childhood, coming to Australia, cultural differences, language barriers, supporting Essendon... And he shares some amazing poetry. Lets get silly!
I will not tire of listening to this episode.On June 19th this year, my wife and I made our way to Federation Square to see some live music from acts we love - Felix Riebl and The Smith Street Band. Earlier, Tripod and Waleed Aly's Robot Child had performed. It was an event to launch Refugee Week and the MC was Osamah Sami.After hearing him speak for just a few minutes on stage, I knew I would invite him to the podcast. Not only for his wit and humour, but his unique story which has seen much suffering but also fantastic success. A refugee who moves to Australia as a teenager knowing no English couldn't possibly win literary & acting awards twenty years later?? What amazing things to do in your third language! If you put your heart & soul in to anything, the goal is possible. He knows the English language better than those who've used it their entire lives. Listening to this you'll hear remarkable poetry, a few whole-hearted f bombs, real laughter, stories of war, families divided and reunited, sporting triumph, singing... think about what living in your country means to you and wonder what it would be like if you happened to be born elsewhere. How would life be different? How would your perspectives shift?This chat has the full spectrum. The episode is the longest so far in this series and I hope you can get through the whole thing - even if you hit pause and come back! I didn't anticipate adding any national anthem to the Ever-growing Playlist of Joy, but I think it's pretty cool to have one there now, especially after hearing some of Osamah's story. To learn more, grab his book.Also keep an eye out for Ali's Wedding and Two Refugees and a Blondehttps://play.spotify.com/user/thesongnerd/playlist/1PjMUX8R9cwbvl62O0HFpT If you download the apps, you can subscribe through iTunes and also follow the podcast at Whooshkaa, where you'll be kept in touch with new episodes as they're published.
