Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay light the fuse for a special Cruisemas edition of the podcast as they discuss one of the greatest action movies of all-time, 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout.' Bombay jumps into action by remembering a time when a gorgeous girl hit him with a surprisingly hard kiss, reminiscent of Vanessa Kirby grabbing Ethan Hunt. Then Andy recalls utilizing MoviePass when this was in theater and seeing this flick countless times while being unemployed — and severely under the influence. Then the fellas chat about this instant classic, and make a motion for 'Fallout' to not only be taught in every classroom, but to be requisite viewing for all children across America. This leads to discussing their favorite action set pieces, and having difficulty deciding between the HALO jump, the inner city motorcycle chase, and the bonkers helicopter flight chase sequence. Choosing between those is almost as difficult as the game of Marry, Marry, Marry between the enchanting lightly-freckled trio of Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, and Michelle Monaghan. Simon Pegg's franchise-best comedic chops get some love, as do Ving Rhames' hats. Even Henry Cavill finds his calling as a mustachioed heavy, who can't comprehend why Cruise's Hunt won't just die. Of course, it's all held together by cinema's savior who made the ultimate sacrifice by breaking his ankle Jackie Chan 'Rumble in the Bronx'-style when he jumped out of a window for our entertainment. The greater the suffering, the greater the podcast. Merry Cruisemas to all!

Fear is a natural part of life. A healthy level of fear is necessary; it keeps us from walking down dark alleys alone, it reminds us to wear our seatbelts, and it nudges us when we're standing near the edge of a cliff. But when everything in life feels like a danger, we begin to manifest unhealthy fear patterns in our bodies and minds. When we approach fear from a MindBody perspective, our nervous systems relax and we start to build safety from within. Once fear becomes the passenger, rather than the driver, magic becomes possible in all areas of life.

Dans un an, l'Inde aura 50 destinations mondiales de plus. La semaine dernière, les patrons d'Airbus se sont déplacés pour fêter une vente record d'avions à New-Delhi. Trente gros porteurs pour la compagnie indienne Indigo, déjà principale cliente de l'avionneur européen. Ce contrat record répond à un développement des transports indiens. Aujourd'hui, le secteur reste financé par les sociétés privées. Éclairage avec l'enseignant-chercheur, Yves-Marie Jules Rault-Chodankar. RFI : Yves-Marie Jules Rault-Chodankar, vous êtes un des spécialistes mondiaux de l'Inde et de ses infrastructures. Vous connaissez bien le transport, vous allez en Inde souvent. Et vous dites que l'inde est l'un des plus grands pays à construire des infrastructures : des routes, des aéroports, etc.Yves-Marie Jules Rault-Chodankar : Oui, effectivement. Aujourd'hui, les besoins de transports sont énormes. La population est en forte croissance, la croissance économique aussi et les infrastructures sont soit vieillissantes, soit absentes. Parlez-nous des plans de développement initiés dans les années 2000 par les gouvernements précédent l'arrivée du Premier ministre Narendra Modi.Ce sont des plans de modernisation sous forme de corridors visant à construire des espaces industriels en reliant les plus grandes villes du pays. L'exemple le plus abouti est celui entre la capitale et New Delhi et Bombay. Jusqu'ici, les trains étaient très lents, il fallait 20 heures de voyage, l'ouverture d'aéroports va faciliter le commerce et la vie des populations. Que signifie cette vente record de 30 avions supplémentaires pour la compagnie indienne Indigo qui possède déjà une flotte d'Airbus ?En quelques années, la compagnie indienne Indigo s'est imposée sur le marché. Non seulement pour les lignes intérieures, mais aussi au plan international puisqu'elle est aujourd'hui l'une des plus grandes compagnies mondiales. Cinquante nouvelles destinations permettant de relier la capitale et les grandes villes indiennes vont naître d'ici à 2026.Dès son arrivée au pouvoir, le Premier ministre a dit son intention de développer les transports. Pourtant, vous dîtes que le gouvernement verse peu d'argent. Parfaitement. Il faut préciser que l'actuel gouvernement ne fait que suivre les plans décidés par les gouvernements précédents. Mais nous sommes aujourd'hui dans une forme de partenariat public-privé. Où l'action du gouvernement se concentre surtout sur des autorisations de cession de terrain, des facilitations en réalité pour les projets immobiliers et de transport financés en majorité par les entreprises privées. Un exemple à Bombay : le bidonville de Dharavi. L'idée est d'en faire d'ici à 2030 un grand centre industriel en rasant toutes les constructions pour y mettre à la place des tours. Il est prévu des ports, des aéroports. Ce projet est pris en charge à 80% par le groupe Adani, l'un des plus grands groupes indiens du pays. Comment la population ressent-elle ces plans de constructions ?Les réactions sont mitigées et dépendent des États. Ici en Europe, on oublie assez vite les échelles gigantesques de ce pays-continent qui compte plus de 1,4 milliard d'habitants. Mais en majorité, ils sont vus d'un bon œil puisque les promoteurs facilitent la vie des millions de personnes dans des villes congestionnées par la circulation routière. La construction de nouveaux métros satisfait les classes moyennes. Et cela flatte l'égo des Indiens. Toutes les inaugurations sont assurées par le Premier ministre Narendra Modi. Il sait très bien profiter de ces moments pour son parti. Ce sont en fait des ponts, des routes, à l'exemple de la Coastal Road tout autour de Bombay, des autoroutes qui relient la côte maritime que Narendra Modi a ouverte sous les caméras.Y a-t-il entre les villes et les zones rurales vis-à-vis des habitants et des constructions de transports nouveaux ? Oui. Je pense aux ports et aux zones économiques spéciales du pays où le secteur privé construit sans se soucier de la protection de l'environnement ni des villages de pêcheurs. Il y a des cas où on ne leur demande même pas leur avis, on les chasse pour construire des bâtiments, des routes, des rails. Et là effectivement, des associations tentent de s'y opposer, mais sans grand succès. Un État, du Bengale, qui se situe plus à l'ouest de l'Inde avec une tradition communiste, et un gouvernement d'opposition, a montré que les autorités ont réussi à faire arrêter les travaux.

In this hilariously unfiltered AMA episode, Cyrus and Shamik tackle the truly important questions of our time. With the rail budget going up, should we expect trains to finally run on time—or just more confident announcements? They debate what one really needs to survive a 4 km walk to a Guns N’ Roses concert: water, willpower, or a cardboard cutout of Slash. There’s talk of a potential Hera Pheri: South Bombay Edition, a suggestion that Neeraj Chopra might just double as a missile launcher, and whether Uorfi Javed’s Cannes moment has emotionally prepared us for her Met Gala debut. Plus, is the $3500 iPhone actually just an “iLoan” now? Should AppleCare come with financial counselling? And with the IPL being rained out left and right, is it time to rename it the Indian Puddle League—or just switch to water polo? All this and more, on a rain-soaked, tech-broke, fashion-forward episode of Cyrus Says.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

‘The flowering of goodness can never take place when the mind is respectable, when the mind is conforming to a pattern – the social pattern, an ideological pattern or a religious pattern.' This episode on Respectability has two sections. The first extract (2:45) is from Krishnamurti's fourth talk in Bombay 1965, and is titled: The Framework of Respectability. The second and final extract (45:54) in this episode is from the sixth talk in London 1961, and is titled: Respectability and Conditioning. Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a significant theme of his talks. Extracts from the archives have been selected to represent Krishnamurti's different approaches to these universal and timelessly relevant topics. This episode's theme is Respectability. Upcoming themes are Thinking, Sensitivity and The Scientific and Religious Mind.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay stop by a strip club while on duty to talk about an action-comedy classic, 'Beverly Hills Cop.' Bombay opens up discussion about this fish out of water tale of a Detroit cop with some stories about his family dealing with cops while living in Detroit. Then the fellas dive into the movie, which has a thin plot that is just an excuse to let prime Eddie Murphy riff, and let killer '80s songs rip. The inciting incident involves Murphy's Axel Foley being visited by a "hoodlum" friend from his past, and that leads to Andy recalling when he had to cut ties with an uninvited house guest. In the flick, that leads to Axel heading out to Beverly Hills where he befriends mismatched friends Taggart and Rosewood while talking himself out of countless situations by lying on the fly. Comedy does the heavy lifting, but there's some great action set pieces, a screaming irate police captain — which Hollywood needs to bring back as a trope — and infectious tunes peppered throughout. It closes with a freeze frame of Murphy making a goofy face into the camera before cueing up a Patti LaBelle track. Much like the film being discussed, the fellas do not take themselves very seriously this episode.
In 2022, Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. But she wasn't the first actress of Asian origin to be nominated. In 1935, Merle Oberon was nominated for Best Actress for the role of Kitty Vane in The Dark Angel, only her second film in the U.S. film industry. But no one knew Oberon was Asian. Her public biography said she was born to white parents in Tasmania, eventually moving to India and, from there, to the UK. But Merle Oberon, in truth, was of Anglo-Indian origin, born in Bombay. She'd hidden her heritage to get around U.S. censorship and immigration laws—a secret she took to her grave, even if many in the industry suspected the truth. Mayukh Sen tackles Oberon's life in Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood's First South Asian Star (W.W. Norton: 2025). Mayukh Sen is the James Beard Award-winning author of Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America (W.W. Norton: 2021). He is a 2025 Fellow at New America, and has written on film for the New Yorker, the Atlantic, and the Criterion Collection.

Please note: I wrote this on April 28th, and then was traveling abroad for the last few weeks, so I had no opportunity to post this until now, sorry about that: but nothing I have said here has been rendered wrong by Operation Sindoor and the near-war that happened after I wrote this. Deccan Herald ran a slightly edited version as my regular column on May 4th at https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/on-pahalgam-imperial-fortresses-and-kashmir-s-settler-colonialism-3523731 With good reason, India has focused on Pakistan as the culprit behind the Pahalgam atrocity. It is telling that their army chief declared to Pakistanis that Hindus and Muslims are two different nations and that Kashmir is Pakistan's jugular vein. He implied that Pakistan is the ideal Islamic state as in Venkat Dhulipala's “Creating a New Medina: State Power, Islam, and the Quest for Pakistan in Late Colonial North India”. This could have been a signal to the terrorists to create maximum offence while massacring Hindus.Given Kargil, IC 814, Bombay 26/11, Uri, Pulwama, and now Pahalgam, India is justified in cutting ties to Pakistan, including trade, sports, the cringe Attari circus, even diplomatic relations. India did once mass its forces at the Line of Control in Operation Parakram, but honoring the Shimla Agreement, did not cross. Now that Pakistan has canceled the Agreement, there is no legal reason for restraint, especially since the nuclear bogey is no longer credible.But there is more. The Pakistani defense minister said that his country had been doing the dirty work for the US and the West for decades. Maybe he meant the Afghan war against the Soviets and post-9/11 somersaults by Pakistan. But that's only scratching the surface.Britain explicitly created Pakistan as a Great Game weapon against Russia/Soviet Union, and when that collapsed, against india. Britain has been using Pakistan as an “imperial fortress”, as I pointed out in “Britain's outsized, malign role in global chaos”. Whitehall tilts strongly towards Pakistani interests, even in the case of widespread gang-rapes of minor white girls, not to mention their antics against Hindus in Leicester.Official mouthpiece BBC never speaks of Pakistani terrorists, only ‘gunmen'; it's always “Indian-controlled Kashmir”; and an extraordinary headline recently said: “Pakistan suspends visas for Indians after deadly Kashmir attack on tourists”. These are not accidents.Britain and the US Deep State (eg. Madeleine Albright and other Atlanticists) worry about the waning influence of Europe (or “northwest Asia” as I wrote in “The End of the European Century”). Naturally, incumbent powers go to war with a rising power (Thucydides Trap: Graham Allison's thesis). This has been the rationale for containing Russia, now it is being turned to Asia. China is rather inscrutable and impregnable, so they attack India, which is easier prey.Then there is the Otherization of Hindus and thus Indians. Even as staunch an atheist as Richard Dawkins (“The Blind Watchmaker”) admits Judeo-Christian cultural biases. Only Christopher Hitchens among modern atheists was self-reflective enough to avoid this. Abrahamics would like to make us disappear, and so engendered great famines in India (“Late Victorian Holocausts”). Now this is reprising through climatism (at an Alexandra Ocasio Cortez rally there was a woman earnestly saying “we have to eat babies” to reduce emissions). Covid was possibly another attempt at depopulating ‘deplorables', that is black and brown people.Let's not forget China, also unhappy about India's possible economic rise; so it dutifully regurgitated “all-weather” support for Pakistan. They have used Pakistan to keep India down, as a force multiplier for violence and trouble. Then China can market itself as a safe investment destination compared to a dangerous India where FDI may be risky. I suspect this is part of their siren-song to big firms (eg. Apple) now.Finally, and most importantly, there is the settler-colonial complex of Muslim Kashmiris. They trot out South Africa, other European conquests and Gaza as examples of colonialists violating natives' rights and imply the same in Kashmir. The bitter irony of course is that it is the Muslims who are the colonialists wiping out Kashmir's indigenous Hindus who have a 5000 year history there. They have turned the logic on its head: see the Harvard Law Review paper “From Domicile to Dominion, India's Settler Colonial Agenda in Kashmir”.There have been seven tragic exoduses of Hindus from Kashmir: 1. 1389–1413 (Sultan Sikandar Shah), 2. 1505–1514 (Fateh Shah II), 3. 16th–17th Century (Timurid Period), 4. 1752–1819 (Durrani Rule), 5. 1931 (Anti-Dogra Riots), 6. 1986 (Anantnag Riots), 7. 1989–1990 (Militancy-Driven Exodus). Most Hindu Kashmiris now rot in refugee camps.I wrote long ago in “India, the Kashmiri colony” about Muslim Kashmiris extracting tribute from the Indian/Hindu taxpayer. Worse, there is evidence emerging that local overground workers (eg. mule handlers) arranged the logistics for the Pahalgam massacre. Acts of terror need local support, possibly including from local politicians (a former CM referred to terrorists as “the boys with guns from the mountains”).Yes, it's good to punish Pakistan (eg. Indus Water Treaty), but terror will persist until Muslim Kashmiris realize their future lies with rising, multi-religious India, not jihadi failed-state Pakistan; and the Deep State desists from further mischief.798 words, Apr 28, 2025 This is a public episode.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay "whatchya gonna do 'fore they come for you?" before talking about a buddy cop movie that not only kickstarted a franchise, but changed the face of action movies, 'Bad Boys.' Bombay starts it off with a story of hitting up dicey clubs and after hours in Miami, and then making friends with a drug dealer at one of the city's most notorious shady spots. Then the fellas dive in on Michael Bay's slick, over-stylized actioner that helped shape the look, and framework of action flicks for years to come. Bolstered by two leads in Will Smith and Martin Lawrence who have immeasurable chemistry, charisma, and charm. It also featured an underrated sultry performance from Megan Fox's blue eyed, dark haired prototype, Tea Leoni. Ultimately, it leads to the guys championing for the resurgence of family-friendly R-rated movies that have naughty words and guns, but are ultimately a good time for the whole family. Stop at the store, grab some Skittles, and pop on the episode.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay come to the realization that they just became best friends while talking about 'Step Brothers.' Andy starts off the episode by detailing how his real life battle with a roommate over a drum kit lead to an unfortunate physical confrontation — very much like Dale and Brennan in the movie. Then the boys talk about one of the last great R-rated studio comedies that is anchored by Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly, but elevated by an incredible supporting cast including Adam Scott, Richard Jenkins, and Kathryn Hahn. Inspired by the opening of the flick, the guys get deep into the weeds and share their recipes for makeshift nachos that are just tossed in the microwave. Afterwards, Kathryn Hahn's uncomfortable forward facing bathroom sex scene leads Bombay to remember a unique position he pulled off with an ex. Of course there's discussion about bunk beds, and freeing up room to do so much activities. This episode will have you grooving and nodding your head as if you were listening to "Boats n' Hoes."

#NUKES ARMS RACE: IRAN, SAUDI ARABIA, INDIA, PAKISTAN. HENRY SOKOLSKI, NPEC. 1902 BOMBAY
One of my personal idols growing up, Juhi Pande, sits with us in this wonderfully reflective episode to talk about her eclectic career as a TV host, presenter and VJ on Channel V, and what exactly prompted her to leave that career and make the move from Bombay to London.We dive into the highs of early media life (casually interviewing the likes of Rakhi Sawant and Sanjay Leela Bhansali as part of the job), the quieter shifts that followed, and the deep grief of suddenly losing her best friend and business partner; a moment that changed everything for her. Juhi shares how she slowly began to rebuild, grounding herself in the act of making with her hands, eventually founding Skunk, a line of beautifully crafted soaps made with intention and care. And then, the whirlwind that was becoming a mother at 39 and how that's transformed her life in beautiful ways she had never imagined.This conversation is nostalgic and full of the kind of honesty that will stay with anyone trying to figure out what comes after the pivotal moment.Explore Juhi's work on: Website: https://skunksuperstore.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skunksuperstore/

In this Hip Deep program, we explore musical connections between Africa and India. First up is the story of the Afro-Indian Sidi community. In the 13th century, Africans arrived in India as soldiers in the armies of Muslim conquerors. Some were able to rise through the ranks to become military leaders and even rulers. Their descendants continue to live in India today, performing African-influenced Sufi trance music at shrines to the black Muslim saint named Baba Gor. Next, we dive into the swinging jazz era of 1930s Bombay, when African-American jazz musicians arrived by the dozen to perform at the glitzy Taj Mahal Hotel. They trained a generation of Indian jazz musicians who would become instrumental in the rise of India's Hindi film music industry. Then we head south to the island of Sri Lanka, where Africans have had a presence for almost 500 years. We explore their history through the groovy Afro-Indo-Portuguese pop music style known as baila, popularized by 1960s star Wally Bastiansz and still performed at parties in Sri Lanka today. Finally, we speak with Deepak Ram, a Indian jazz flutist who recounts his experiences growing up Indian in apartheid South Africa. Throughout, we hear from leading experts, and of course, introduce fantastic and often-unexpected music. Produced by Marlon Bishop APWW #663
