Evan is off this week, so it's Dave and Megan as a duo. First, Megan discusses THE QUEEN OF MY DREAMS (1:42), Fawzia Mirza's comedy-drama about a Bollywood-loving queer Pakistani-Canadian woman (Amrit Kaur) navigating her complicated relationship with her mother (Nimra Bucha) after a tragedy. It's a lovely film with great performances, vibrant costumes and production design, and a clever narrative structure. Then, Dave delves into 28 YEARS LATER (12:27), the long-awaited third film in the post-apocalyptic zombie horror series. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, it stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes. Following a group of survivors on an island, does it live up to the iconic first film? Dave has lots of intense feelings about this one. Finally, Dave and Megan talk about ELIO (38:20), Pixar's animated sci-fi adventure written and directed by Adrian Molina, Domee Shi, and Madeline Sharafian. It follows Elio (Yonas Kibreab), a space-loving boy living with his aunt Olga (Zoe Saldaña), who gets his wish when aliens abduct him. One of us was delighted by the adorably sweet, wonderfully weird film. But it just didn't work for one of us. And on our Patreon bonus episode, we dive into 28 DAYS LATER (2002) and 28 WEEKS LATER (2007)!
Welcome to another 80s Dhamaka! episode of Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast. This time we're diving face-first into the drama, glamour, and full camp spectacle that is Rakesh Roshan's KHOON BHARI MAANG (1988). Starring Rekha, Kabir Bedi, Sonu Walia, and an extremely underpaid crocodile, this revenge thriller has everything: makeover montages, fashion show trauma, and villains who just won't die. Join us as Amrita leads a passionate defense of Rekha's action-heroine era, Sujoy questions the plot logic (and the horse), and Asim tries to make peace with crocodile VFX and the film's very unique pacing. We also revisit the film's legacy, its place in the 80s VHS canon, and why it deserves to be seen as more than a meme. A big shoutout to our friend DJ Shai Guy for the 80s Dhamaka theme song!

The Darkest Indiana Jones AdventureIn this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell dive into the controversial second installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). This prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark takes our hero to Shanghai and then India for what many consider the darkest chapter in the series.The hosts explore how the film's darker tone was influenced by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's personal lives at the time, with both going through difficult periods that affected the creative direction. Despite being considered the black sheep of the original trilogy, Temple of Doom has gained appreciation over time for its unique qualities and memorable moments.Nathan shares his childhood memory of seeing the film in theaters and covering his eyes during the infamous heart-ripping scene—the very scene that, along with Red Dawn, prompted the creation of the PG-13 rating that changed Hollywood forever. Both hosts give the film high marks (8-8.5 out of 10), placing it just below The Last Crusade in their rankings.Key topics discussed:How Temple of Doom works as a prequel set in 1935 (before Raiders)The incredible Shanghai club opening sequence and its filming challengesShort Round as one of the best sidekicks in the series who sadly never returnedKate Capshaw's performance as Willie Scott and her real-life sedatives for the bug scenesThe film's cultural insensitivity issues and how they were meant to be portrayedWhy the mine cart chase might be 20% too long but remains iconicPractical effects including stop-motion animation and early compositing techniquesIndiana Jones' character as more of an anti-hero than classic heroThe brilliant suspension bridge finale and Mola Ram as a memorable villainIn their deep cut recommendations, Nathan suggests exploring Bollywood classics like Om Shanti Om featuring Shahrukh Khan, while noting that Amrish Puri (Mola Ram) appears in the classic DDLJ. Krissy recommends checking out Ke Huy Quan's (Short Round) recent renaissance, including his Oscar-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.Whether you're covering your eyes during the heart scene or laughing at Willie's dinner reactions, Temple of Doom remains a unique, polarizing adventure that helped define 80s action cinema. --We couldn't do this without your support of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast!

We would be remiss if we only talked about MAAs in Bollywood and ignored the PITAJIS. We bring two very different movies that depict different aspects of fatherhood - father as a human being first, and father who must grapple with passing the torch to his son.Beth discusses Ray's Apur Sansar (1959) and Pitu discusses Boman Irani's The Mehta Boys (2025). [We know Apur Sansar is not exactly "filmi" but neither is Masoom that we did for maas, so it all evens out.]We also discuss quintessential fathers in Indian cinema as well as father figures like all the amazing uncles - and end with a fun quiz!Tell us your thoughts!

Kiran Ahluwalia (pronounced KIR-un all-oo-WAHL-iya) is making waves with her innovative sound, melding Indian vocal traditions with influences as varied as Malian blues, rock, and jazz. Kiran Ahluwalia joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about her music and upcoming performance at the Levitt Amp Galva Music Festival on June 22, 2025. Raised in Canada, Ahluwalia leads a dynamic six-piece band, consisting of electric guitar, accordion, organ, tabla, bass, and drum kit, that brings her artistic vision to life. Her latest album, titled "Comfort Food," doesn't just explore musical boundaries—it dives into pressing social issues, earning widespread praise from critics. As a two-time Juno Award winner, Ahluwalia continues to expand her global reach, inviting listeners into a rich tapestry of sounds and stories rooted in her diverse musical journey. Ahluwalia and her band will take the stage at 7:15 PM. Kiran Ahluwalia stands as an influential force in the world of contemporary global music. Drawing from Sufi, Qawalli, Ghazal, and Punjabi folk traditions, she crafts a vibrant and boundary-crossing sound, blending Indian classical roots with elements of blues, jazz, and R&B. Her 6-piece ensemble features electric guitar, accordion, tabla, and more, offering a rich, dynamic backdrop to reflective and socially conscious songs. Ahluwalia's latest album, "Comfort Food," includes collaborations with international artists and challenges rising Hindu fundamentalism and nationalism. Her achievements include two Juno Awards and the recent Canadian Folk Music Award for ‘Pushing Boundaries.' “When I was growing up in India, there were concerts that people from all over would crowd into. These concerts featured a repertoire, language and content that was both demanding and beyond the experience of a child. I was, however, entranced by the sound and feel of the music, even from an early age. My father would play tapes of Indian music for me and we would also listen to Bollywood on the radio,” Ahluwalia recalls. “So when a song came on that I wanted to learn, my mother would quickly write down the lyrics for me and I would sing along to learn the melody."

Show Notes: Tanya Selvaratnam shares her journey from high school to present day. She moved to New York after graduating and worked at Columbia Law School's Center for Chinese Legal Studies. She also assisted Anna Deavere Smith on her show “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992” about the LA riots. Tanya went back to Harvard for graduate school, studying Chinese language and the history of law. An Adventure in Theatre After her father passed away, she returned to New York, where she was working on the Beijing Women's Conference. Wandering the streets one day, she came across The Performing Garage with a poster on the wall for a show by the Wooster Group. On a whim, she slipped a note on the door offering to help in any capacity and was taken on as an intern. Before long, she was asked to come to rehearsals, and, despite having no intentions of becoming a performer, this led to her performing with the Wooster Group. She toured all over the world with them and with other companies like the Builders Association. On Becoming a Film Producer Currently, Tanya writes books and makes movies. She also advises various organizations, foundations, and corporations. She recently started advising the Open Future Lab in Vienna, Austria. She has also worked as a producer, which began when she worked at the Ms. Foundation for Women, on what was then called "Take Our Daughters to Work Day" as well as the Gloria awards. She also worked with Jed Weintrob, whom she had met at Harvard when she was in his production of “Dracula.” In the late 90s, Jed asked her to produce a movie he was writing at the time. It went on to premiere at Sundance and then the Berlinale in 2002. This led to more work as a producer, and Tanya is still currently producing. The Connection between Event Organizer and Film Producer Tanya shares her experiences in organizing events since high school. While at Phillips Academy Andover, she was the head of the South Asian Students Association and served on the divestment committee during apartheid days. She organized events like readings of poetry, essays, and performances to raise awareness about activism and advocacy. After college, she also organized events for the youth tent at the Women's Conference in China, where she performed a piece called "Wet Sari Syndrome," which was a take on Bollywood movies. Tanya learned the craft of producing films directly from her friend and trusted colleague, Jed. She was willing to work hard, focusing on tasks such as finding locations, cleaning up the set, and figuring out what needed to happen to make the film come together. Tanya was able to tap into her resources and connections to make shoots possible and be attentive to Jed's vision. Dealing with Difficult Times The conversation turns to her experience with bullying and harassment, which she has faced in various situations. She deals with this by focusing on her tasks and work. Tanya goes to Portland to write and escape from these situations, as it provides a safe space to escape the pressures of life. She also talks about her two books, The Big Lie: Motherhood, Feminism, and the Reality of the Biological Clock, which grew out of her own struggles with fertility and Assume Nothing: A Story of Intimate Violence. When dealing with fertility issues, Tanya was shocked at the amount of misinformation surrounding fertility awareness. She talks about the problems with sex education in America and how the book changed when she was diagnosed with two types of cancer. In her second book, she shares her experiences of being entrapped in an abusive relationship with former Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. She explains why she was motivated to write the book and why she went into hiding after her story first became public. Working with Cultural Institutions Tanya has also worked on cultural events around the world, such as at the Rubell Museum in Miami, the Women's Conference in China, with Anna Deavere Smith and the Wooster Group. She has collaborated with major institutions and museums, such as the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Barbican in London, and Victoria Theatre in Singapore. She toured to 62 cities all over the world in a space of 12 years. She's also worked with the Sundance Film Festival and the New York Film Festival. She talks about The Federation, an organization that aims to show how art unites people and keeps cultural borders open. She recently worked with Carrie Mae Weems at the Torino book fair in Italy. Co-directing and Producing a Documentary Short Tanya co-directed and produced a 13-minute documentary short called Love to the Max, which was acquired by the New Yorker magazine and recently nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary Short. The film was inspired by the mother of Max Briggle, who was targeted for loving and supporting her trans kid. Tanya was inspired to make the film after Max Briggle's mother reached out to a women's listserv for help because she'd been approached by child protection services. Tanya has also been working with Catherine Gund for 17 years, producing a film called Paint Me a Road Out of Here, which is about the interconnected journeys of artists Faith Ringgold and Mary Baxter. She is also working on a new book called Love Me and Leave Me, which is about adventures through intimate pleasure and intimacy in many forms. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Tanya initially thought she would study science at Harvard but found the large classes to be lacking in intimacy. She became interested in Chinese history and legal history, taking classes with visiting scholars and professors like Chang Weijen, William Alford, Professor Kuhn, and Professor Bol; Caroline Reeves, a graduate student, helped her decide what to explore for her thesis.

Send us a textBoman Irani's warmth and wisdom shine throughout this captivating conversation that explores the intersection of acting craft, psychological insight, and authentic storytelling. The renowned actor—beloved for iconic roles in films like Munna Bhai MBBS and 3 Idiots—shares the unconventional journey that led him to Bollywood in his 40s after fourteen years in theater."Actors are lying," Boman reveals with disarming candor, before explaining his paradoxical approach to performance: finding deep truth within pretense. This philosophy permeates his craft as he describes the ability to be "truthful in the lie" while maintaining the psychological discipline to "unlie" himself after intense scenes. Rather than focusing on expressions, Boman emphasizes feeling—allowing audiences to experience what the character experiences rather than merely observing a performance.His reflections on what makes characters unforgettable offer profound insights for storytellers and psychology enthusiasts alike. "Characters who are dark but show potential for change" create the strongest connections with audiences, he explains, because they offer hope: "If this guy could change, maybe I can change too." This perspective illuminates why his portrayals of complex characters like Dr. Asthana resonate so powerfully across generations.The conversation takes a heartwarming turn when Boman shares the contents of his "emotional first aid box"—family unity for oxygen, humor for medicine, and forward planning for healing. This proactive approach to happiness extends to his professional relationships, where he actively creates inclusive environments on set. When asked about character development, he offers a principle that bridges storytelling and life philosophy: "The protagonist is the architect of his own misery or happiness." Join us for this enriching dialogue that reveals why Boman Irani remains one of Indian cinema's most thoughtful and beloved artists.

This weeks' Patreon are: Sujoy Watches Thug Life So You Don't Have To 5 Min Catchup: Amrita In this episode, we dove into Saagar (1985)—the ultimate Dimple Kapadia comeback and a masterclass in how to shoot slow-motion beach walks. We talked: Why Dimple is pure fire (even when Rishi and Kamal are doing the most) The unbearable softness of 80s Kamal Haasan Why this is basically the horniest film we've watched all season And of course, Sujoy's cinematic thirst for all things Sridevi, accidentally triggered by… Saagar?

What happens when a city-bred actor known for Netflix dramas finds herself playing a small-town role in Gram Panchayat? In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha sits down with Akansha Ranjan Kapoor for a candid, funny, and deeply relatable conversation about life in the spotlight — and everything it isn’t.Akansha opens up about growing up in a film family, why she still had to hustle hard to make her mark, and how formal training at Whistling Woods gave her the confidence to pursue acting seriously. From juggling PR jobs while auditioning to landing her breakthrough in Guilty, her journey is filled with unexpected turns — and plenty of self-deprecating humor.They talk about the unexpected creative freedom she found working with TVF, and how roles like Gram Panchayat challenged her to step out of her comfort zone. Along the way, the conversation spirals into relatable chaos: the decline of social drinking, generational shifts in social media behavior, and why some parents just shouldn’t comment on their kids’ reels.This episode is about more than acting — it’s about identity, adaptability, and growing up in public. Whether you’re a Gen Z listener, a Bollywood buff, or just someone who’s terrified of driving in Indian traffic, you’ll find something to laugh at, relate to, or learn from.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They dive into fatherhood, personal transformation, and what led to Fardeen stepping away from the spotlight — and what brought him back.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Ananya's Airport Adventure: A Bollywood Bag Swap Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-05-27-22-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: चटर्जी पारिवार के साथ छोटी सी मसखरी हमेशा होती है, यह सभी जानते थे।En: There was always a little mischief with the Chatterjee family; everyone knew that.Hi: सभी को जब पता चला था कि अनन्या फिर से यात्रा से लौटी है, तो यह सभी के लिए कोई बड़ी बात नहीं थी।En: When everyone found out that Ananya had returned from her journey again, it was no big deal for them.Hi: चुपके से सूर्य की किरणें खिड़की पर दस्तक देने लगीं थीं और अनन्या की नींद धीरे-धीरे खुल गई।En: Quietly, the sun's rays began knocking on the window, and Ananya's sleep gradually broke.Hi: आज, अनन्या की साहसी यात्रा का अंत हुआ था।En: Today marked the end of Ananya's adventurous journey.Hi: चैत्र का महीना समाप्त होने की कगार पर था और गर्मियों की शुरुआत हो रही थी।En: The month of Chaitra was on the verge of ending, and summer was beginning.Hi: छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज अंतर्राष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डे पर हलचल थी।En: There was hustle and bustle at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.Hi: यात्रियों की भीड़, दुकानों की रंगीन छटा, और गर्म समोसे की सुगंध ने माहौल को जीवंत कर दिया था।En: The crowd of passengers, the colorful display of shops, and the aroma of hot Samosas brought the atmosphere to life.Hi: अनन्या हवाई अड्डे पर अपना सामान लेने पहुंची और जल्दबाजी में एक काले रंग का बैग उठा लिया।En: Ananya went to collect her luggage at the airport and hastily picked up a black bag.Hi: बैग को लेकर वह बाहर निकली और एक कैब बुक की।En: Carrying the bag, she stepped outside and booked a cab.Hi: थोड़ी देर बाद, कैब में उसे एहसास हुआ कि बैग का वजन अजीब सा है।En: A little while later, in the cab, she realized that the bag felt oddly heavy.Hi: उसने बैग खोला और उसकी आँखें आश्चर्य से फैल गईं।En: She opened the bag and her eyes widened with surprise.Hi: अंदर बिछी थीं चमचमाते हुए बहुत ही ख़ूबसूरत बॉलीवुड के परिधान।En: Inside were beautifully shimmering Bollywood costumes.Hi: कुछ ही समय में, हवाई अड्डे पर सुरक्षा अलर्ट जारी हो गया।En: In no time, a security alert was issued at the airport.Hi: बाहर बढ़ती हलचल से अनन्या के दिल की धड़कन तेज हो गई।En: The growing commotion outside made Ananya's heart race.Hi: अनन्या के मन में एक द्वंद्व चल रहा था।En: There was a dilemma running through Ananya's mind.Hi: वह बिना पकड़े चले जाए या इस उलझन को सुलझाने के लिए मदद मांगे?En: Should she leave without getting caught, or seek help to resolve this puzzle?Hi: तभी, उसकी नज़र रोहन और समीर पर पड़ी।En: Just then, she noticed Rohan and Sameer.Hi: वे दो अभिनेता थे जो अनन्या को देखते ही उसे एक प्रसिद्ध डिज़ाइनर समझ बैठते हैं।En: They were two actors who mistook Ananya for a famous designer as soon as they saw her.Hi: उन्होंने आग्रह किया कि वह उन्हें भेष बदलने में मदद करे ताकि वे सुरक्षा से बच सकें।En: They urged her to help them disguise so they could escape security.Hi: अपनी प्रसिद्ध मुहिम पर भरोसा करते हुए, अनन्या ने साहस जुटाया।En: Relying on her fame, Ananya gathered the courage.Hi: उसने परिधानों को एक जादुई ढंग से रोहन और समीर को पहनाया।En: She magically dressed Rohan and Sameer in the costumes.Hi: तीनों ने मिलकर एक अप्रत्याशित नाटक रचा और वे आसानी से सुरक्षा जांच से पार हो गए।En: Together, they crafted an unexpected play and easily passed through the security check.Hi: आखिरकार, अनन्या ने वह कीमती बैग सही हाथों में सौंप दिया।En: Finally, Ananya handed over the precious bag to the right hands.Hi: यह उसके लिए एक फिल्मी बेला पूरी करने जैसा था।En: It was like completing a movie-like moment for her.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि उसने अनजाने में ही सही, अपना जीवन का एक सपना जी लिया था।En: She felt that inadvertently, she had lived a dream of her life.Hi: उसने अनुभव किया कि जीवन की अप्रत्याशित घटनाओं का सामाना आत्मविश्वास और चतुराई से करना चाहिए।En: She realized that life's unexpected events should be faced with confidence and cleverness.Hi: उसके चेहरे पर एक संतोषभरी मुस्कान थी।En: There was a satisfied smile on her face.Hi: जब वह घर लौटी, उसके दिल में नया उत्साह और नए सपनों की तलाश थी।En: When she returned home, there was new excitement and a quest for new dreams in her heart.Hi: इस अनुभव से उसे प्राकृतिक रुप से अप्रत्याशित स्थितियों का सामना करने का हौसला मिला।En: From this experience, she gained the courage to naturally face unforeseen situations.Hi: अनन्या ने अपने जीवन के इस फिल्मी दिन को संभाल कर रखा, एक मुस्कान के साथ।En: Ananya kept this filmy day of her life close to her heart, with a smile.

Sitars and Symphonies: LA Composer Reena Esmail Fuses Indian Ragas with Western Rhythms We continue our California composers series with Reena Esmail. Her childhood in Los Angeles had two soundtracks: the Western classical music her parents loved, and the old, scratchy Bollywood tapes her paternal grandparents would play over and over. Those multicultural influences shaped what would become the driving question of her work: how do you invite people from different cultures onto the same stage to build a relationship and create music together? Composing is how Esmail has made her mark — by putting Western classical musicians in conversation with Indian artists, building bridges between violinists and sitar players, tabla drummers and western singers. She's an artist in residence with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, has composed with unhoused singers from Skid Row, and her music has been performed by major orchestras and choirs all over the world. How a UC Berkeley Professor Confronts Division With a Vision for Belonging Professor john a. powell spent much of his early life feeling like he didn't belong. At just 11 years old, he became estranged from his deeply religious family. After questioning church doctrine and not getting the answers he was looking for, powell — who spells his name in lowercase — left the church, and his father did not speak to him for five years. But that pivotal moment was the beginning of the path that led him to his life's work. powell is the director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley, where he's also a professor of law, African American studies and ethnic studies. He's the author of two recent books, “Belonging Without Othering,” and “The Power of Bridging.” powell spoke with host Sasha Khokha as part of our series on Californians and resilience.

William Dalrymple is a bestselling historian, award-winning broadcaster, and one of the world's most dynamic voices on colonial history. In this episode, Ami chats with the legendary India-based Scottish writer about his latest book, The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World, which argues that India's intellectual and spiritual contributions have been foundational to the global world we live in today—and yet remain widely unacknowledged in the West.With warmth, humor, and piercing insight, William shares what it was like growing up the youngest of four brothers in an eccentric aristocratic family, how his radical Scottish nanny shaped his worldview, and why he believes India's greatest export isn't Bollywood or curry—but the number zero. Ami and William discuss how Indian ideas influenced everything from mathematics to religion, why Western education omits these facts, and how colonization played a role in that erasure.From buffets in Delhi to dancing in Goa, DJing at farmhouse parties to dinner with Aamir Khan, this episode blends deep history with cultural stories and unforgettable banter. From Shrubs to Shrines: William recounts a surreal night in Dallas giving a lecture at a house decorated with statues of Reagan, Thatcher, and Churchill. (2:52)Growing Up the Youngest: Why being the “love-bombed” youngest of four shaped William's personality—and how he finally made peace with his brother who beat him up. (5:27)Nerd Forever: William describes his lifelong love of history, how he made a career from a teenage obsession, and the unusual accessories he wore to study ancient churches. (10:17)History Through Two Lenses: The surprising influence of William's radical nanny and how it fueled his nuanced take on colonialism and the British Empire. (14:00)Why The Golden Road Matters: A crash course on how Indian mathematics, philosophy, and spirituality transformed Eurasia—and why Westerners still don't know it. (18:15)India's PR Problem: On WhatsApp uncles, Hindu helicopters, and why ancient India's brilliance was downplayed for colonial reasons (and cringed at by younger generations). (24:34)Religion Without Conquest: William explains how Hinduism and Buddhism spread across Asia through persuasion, not power. (28:46)Tuckered Out and Booked Out: Why William is more exhausted than ever thanks to his podcast Empire, his book tour, and a lifelong habit of overworking in gardens.
