Twenty years later, Gurinder Chadha's Bend It Like Beckham still kicks down barriers. Dive into the groundbreaking film that redefined cultural identity, gender roles, and the immigrant experience through soccer, samosas, and Sikh resilience. How did Jess Bhamra's fight to bend societal rules—from racist slurs on the pitch to rolling chapatis in the kitchen—mirror real-world struggles of second-gen immigrants? unpack the film's iconic moments: intercutting bhangra and soccer finals, confronting intergenerational trauma, and smashing stereotypes about “masculine” athletes. Why did Jess's father's tearful confession about his own racist past hit so hard? And how did Chadha's blend of humor and heart turn a sports story into a global anthem for self-determination? From its critique of gendered expectations to its legacy in today's conversations about multiculturalism, discover why Bend It Like Beckham remains a playbook for navigating identity in a divided world. Bend It Like Beckham analysis, cultural identity in film, gender roles in sports, immigrant family dynamics, sports movies and feminism.

Today's episode is the second half of my recent discussion with author Grace Barnes whose fascinating new book it titled: National Identity and the British Musical — From Blood Brothers to Cinderella. In this conversation we explore how British national identity has, and often has not, been dramatized in British musical theater, and among the topics that we discuss are the musicals Blood Brothers, Mama Mia, Billy Elliott, The Last Ship, Bend It Like Beckham, and the current smash hit SIX, and, of course, the tremendous impact and domination that the mega musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh have had on the British musical theatre industry.  We also discuss why UK critics so seldom give any serious consideration to musical theater , the near complete absence of female voices in British musical theater, and the future of British musicals. Grace Barnes is an independent scholar, director, and playwright who has worked as an associate and resident director on productions of My Fair Lady, Fiddler On the Roof, Into The Woods, Sunset Blvd, The Witches of Eastwick, Martin Guerre, West Side Story, and Guys And Dolls in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia. She has a PhD from the University of Technology in Sydney and her previous book is titled Her Turn Onstage — The Role Of Women In Musical Theatre.

For years, people with medical conditions like M.E and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have used Energy Management Techniques. Could we learn a thing or two by using the techniques, even if we don't have extreme fatigue? Nuala talks to Lauren Walker, an Occupational Therapist who teaches energy management, and Charlie Thorne - who was a city lawyer before she became burnt out.

In this episode, we welcome film critic Marya E. Gates to the studio to talk about Mississippi Masala (1991), directed by MIra Nair and starring Sarita Choudhury, Denzel Washington, Roshan Seth, and Sharmila Tagore. Mississippi Masala tells the story of Mina, and Ugandan-Indian woman whose family has settled in Greenwood, Mississippi after being displaced by General Idi Amin, and her budding romance with Demetrius, a local Black self-employed carpet cleaner. Along with chatting about the movie, we interview Marya on her past jobs in marketing for Film Struck and Netflix, the importance of yearning and Eros in romance, and how she's working to dispel the myth of a lack of women-directed films.

I've completely lost my voice after this episode. That should help me with the whole podcasting thing…what a weekend! Sundance Institute Film Festival has been on my bucket list since I was small enough to bathe in buckets. So, a very long time.We were super excited to participate in the first-ever South Asian Lodge hosted by filmmaker and director Shruti Ganguly, author, writer, and producer Tanya Selvaratnam and the non-profit organization 1497, whose mission is to support and uplift talent of South Asian descent to challenge their historical exclusion from and underrepresentation in the American film and TV industry.You can learn more about their mission here- https://www.1497.org/A special shoutout to The Product of Culture team and Kis Cubed Events for helping make the impossible, possible.  The entire weekend ran smoothly from beginning to end.The two days of programming included a 20th anniversary celebration of Bend It Like Beckham, as the movie's 2003 premiere at Sundance marked a watershed event for South Asian representation in film.  Congratulations to the entire team for putting this historic event together.  It was a weekend full of love, celebration, beautiful art, and communityAnd thank you to all my guests on this episode, I had a little too much fun with all of you.Shruti GangulyNirjary DesaiAdeel AhmedSimi ChaudryNik DodaniNisha GanatraAlex SchmiderA VERY special THANK YOU to Greg Friedman from Park Audio Sundance 2023 for taking care of my technical issues.  You saved the pod. 

When Meher Ahmad first saw the movie “Bend It Like Beckham” as a young girl, she was transfixed. Watching the main character, an Indian woman who looked like her, kiss her white soccer coach, she saw a vision of her own romantic future. While she felt pressure from her family and her culture to be with a Pakistani boy, the movie opened up her lanes of attraction — from white boys to, eventually, “anything but brown men.”As Meher grew older, though, her thinking started to shift. Today, we share her story about how she found “the one.” Then, our host, Anna Martin, discusses a trend that is all over TikTok: romantic manifestation. She speaks with Laura Pitcher, a contributing writer for The New York Times, about how people are manifesting their ideal partners — and why the spiritual practice is so appealing to Gen Z.Hey, Modern Love listeners: What's the most unusual place you have ever gone on a date? Maybe you crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a cargo ship, or you wound up at a restaurant after hours. We want to hear your story. Visit nytimes.com/datestory for submission details.
