Ravi welcomes back Dr. Dhruv Khullar, a physician, assistant professor at Cornell, and contributing writer at The New Yorker, for a deep dive into the latest shifts in American science and nutrition. They begin with Dhruv's latest New Yorker piece, Trump's Agenda Is Undermining American Science, and examine how the DOGE-led budget cuts could disrupt medical innovation and public health. Next, they turn to one of the biggest but least understood threats to public health: ultra-processed foods. Drawing from Dhruv's recent New Yorker article, Why Is the American Diet So Deadly?, Dhruv and Ravi explore how these foods took over American grocery stores—and why they fuel overeating, weight gain, and chronic disease. Finally, they step back to discuss the food industry's influence and the challenge of cutting through the noise with effective public health messaging.

Hello, Hello, Hello, This is the second part of the discussion we had on Robert Eggers! Here, Dhruv – joined by the brain-melting and blood-sucking vampire, Varun, and his “spirited animal” friend, Hemant – tries to talk about Eggers' latest horror film, “Nosferatu,” in relation to F. W. Murnau's 1922 German Expressionist classic, and Werner Herzog's existentially despairing 1979 remake of it. But little does he know the digressions this deadly duo has in store for him… Listen to the full episode to hear him respond to the absurdity of Varun referencing Zoya Akhtar's “Dil Dhadakne Do” when talking about Murnau's classic, or, worse still, the Sridevi-and-Anil-Kapoor-starrer “Judaai” when he's talking about the Eggers' version. There's plenty of discussion about how these films, despite tackling the same story, have such drastically different treatments. But that's if you can look past those comparisons… Best of luck to all!

Hello, Hello, Hello! In what is another one of our director retrospective episodes, Dhruv, Amartya, and Aryan (from America) talk about the 3 feature films directed by much-revered horror director Robert Eggers, whose latest film, “Nosferatu," just recently released this week in India! (We have a whole “Nosferatu" themed ep planned to be recorded and released in the coming week, which includes an extended discussion on the 1922 silent film directed by F.W. Murnau, the 1979 version directed by Werner Herzog, and the 2024, one directed by Eggers!) We begin the episode by positioning Eggers as a (or the) key figure who kickstarted the patented-A24-brand-of-elevated horror cinephiles have increasingly grown weary of now, and how his first film, “The Vvitch,” in particular, sets a template for that specific type of arty horror film that's never really been replicated as successfully afterward. Except, maybe by himself, with “The Lighthouse" (2019) – his second film, also distributed by A24, that pushes even further into the type of horror film that thrives on ambiguity and atmosphere vs. satisfying generic thrills. And then comes “The Northman" (2022). Listen to the full episode to hear us argue, in detail, about the value (or lack thereof) of his third film, which Aryan—rather worryingly—warns Amartya and Dhruv is better than his recent foray into mainstream cinema, "Nosferatu.

The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited - India's premier aerospace manufacturing company - is in focus this week due to factors some argue are beyond its control. A fatal crash of a Dhruv Mk III Advanced Light Helicopter has led to a fleet wide grounding across all the services that operate it. And, in an unrelated development, the Indian Air Force expressed frustration with the delays in the deliveries of the Tejas fighter jet. Both the machines in question are the crown jewels of the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited's efforts design, develop and build indigenous aircraft for India's military. The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited plays an outsized role in India's military aviation and the two developments have once again put the spotlight on the government-owned behemoth's ability to deliver quality on time. And so, on this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and defence expert Shiv Aroor take a close look at the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and all that's wrong - and also what's right - with the organisation. The two explore what the HAL needs to do to in order to shrug off its bureaucratic past and move into the competitive future where its position as India's sole supplier of military aviation equipment is at threat. Dev and Shiv also take a particular close look as Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh's recent lament of not getting the Tejas fighter jets on time. The Air Force chief unusually strong comments raised a few eyebrows. What's behind the sentiment? Tune in for this and more to the latest episode of In Our Defence.

Rather than simply bash films released this year that we unanimously hated, however, we've tried to talk constructively about a variety of films that have proved divisive amongst critics and audiences. There are some high-profile projects directed by well-reputed auteurs and critically well-received at major film festivals that left all of us scratching our heads (Emilia Perez, Disclaimer, and Blitz). But other films – like Jigra, Agra, and, to a lesser extent, Malaikottai Valliban – divided opinion even amongst the three of us. Listen to the full episode to hear a spoiler-filled discussion and/or rant on these 5 films and 1 limited TV series as we – for once – try to make a case against valuing the auteur theory.

Hello, Hello, Hello!   In this very special, if slightly delayed episode, Dhruv & Amartya are joined by returning guest Cris (now "not the token queer representation for QID"), reincarnated host-cum-guest Aryan (from America), and first-time-but-hopefully-recurring-guest Prakhar Patidar, to talk about the film every Indie Awards Circuit talk show and Indian cinephile is currently talking about -- Payal Kapadia's "All We Imagine as Light." Because everyone already seems to have written all sorts of essays and reviews on AWIAL (some of them are linked below!), we decided to expand the discussion beyond that. The first hour (of this 110 min podcast) is dedicated to exploring Payal Kapadia's early short film work, her, at times, overpowering indebtedness to certain filmic styles (namely, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who is mentioned at least 20 times in this discussion), and how her first feature film, “A Night of Knowing Nothing” (2021), breaks away from that. The second hour involves a full, spoiler-filled discussion of AWIAL – the things we liked about it, the things we didn't, and the things we hope to like more about it on a rewatch. Listen to the full episode to hear us also -- dismiss the all-male Indian Jury who dismissed AWIAL as India's Oscar Entry for its lack of “Indianness” and debate what “Indianness” really is!

Hello Hello Hello! In this new episode we discuss 2 recent films directed by stalwarts of cinema - Ridley Scott and Francis Ford Coppola. The 2 particular films in discussion being Gladiator 2 and Megalopolis, respectively. In a way, both films fit uniquely in today's context, with respect to where the filmmakers stand today in the world of cinema and the kind of legacy that exists. Gladiator 2, the sequel to the 2000 film, Gladiator, won several Academy Awards. The sequel chooses to follow similar beats, albeit the interesting bit though, here, is the filmmaking process of Scott himself, which has in a way come under fire for several reasons. Megalopolis, a self-funded multi-million dollar passion project, has come under fire for its eccentric storytelling. FFC has self-proclaimed his working style to be that of a true artist, and has made several efforts to push the boundaries of filmmaking, with almost all his films.

Dhruv and Samson share their insights on bitcoin as a living organism, potential challenges from quantum computing, and the evolution of its network over time. The conversation also touches on the future of money and mining in a spacefaring civilization, how energy markets intersect with bitcoin, and the practicality of sidechains for interplanetary use.
