Willkommen zu dem Podcast, der sich mit Filmen und Serien beschäftigt und dabei einen Fokus auf intellektuelle und aristokratische Elemente legt. In dieser Episode untersuchen wir die feinen Nuancen der Filmkunst und Serienproduktion, von subtilen Charakterentwicklungen bis hin zur symbolischen Bildsprache. Unsere Diskussionen sind geprägt von einem reichen Vokabular, das sowohl vertraute als auch exotische Fremdwörter umfasst, um ein tieferes Verständnis der Ästhetik und des kulturellen Reichtums zu vermitteln. Wir laden Sie ein, sich uns anzuschließen, während wir das Kino und die Fernsehwelt mit einem anspruchsvollen Blick betrachten. Auf Wiedersehen, meine kreativen Seelen, bis wir uns das nächste Mal in den Hallen der Fantasie treffen.

This is the third episode in the WGA inspired mini-season. A break from the usual "Directors on Directing," this season is focused on the granular mechanics screenwriting. Each of these conversations were recorded as a part of a remote writer's group that I ran in early 2020. Though they weren't ever intended to be released publicly - given the WGA (and now SAG) strikes, I thought it would be a small act of solidarity to bring our attention back to the work that goes into the creation of the screenplay This episode features a conversation with BASSAM TARIQ. Bassam was born in Karachi, Pakistan, and later migrated to the United States, where he grew up in Queens, New York. His dual-cultural upbringing significantly influenced his work, providing him a distinctive lens through which to explore and portray complex issues related to identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience. Tariq's debut feature film, "These Birds Walk," premiered at South by Southwest in 2013 and was named one of the best indie films of the year by The New Yorker. In 2019, he directed "The Ghosts of Sugarland" - a documentary short he wrote and directed about his post-9/11 high school experience. The film premiered at Sundance in 2019. He then directed "Mogul Mowgli" in 2020, starring Riz Ahmed, which earned rave reviews for its exploration of diaspora identity and the physical and emotional toll of ambition. The film premiered at Berlinale in 2020. Throughout his career, Tariq has consistently demonstrated his ability to deftly intertwine personal narratives with broader societal themes and his profound dedication to storytelling continues to resonate powerfully in the work he creates. In this conversation we specifically discuss page count, finding and maintaining a "voice", the movement from documentary to narrative storytelling, and the importance of protecting your vision.

Nearly every one of these episodes has a *Recorded in 2020* as a disclaimer in the show notes. So - the obvious question: why in the world did it take so long to put these conversations out?? The short answer: I got stuck. And getting unstuck was a multi-step process. First, my friend Jake McMullen came alongside me and began editing the episodes and generating the original music. Anna Remus came along to help put a schedule to the process. And suddenly, the episodes were done and ready...except for all the intros/outros. I recorded a scripted version and it didn't feel right. But then I got stuck again. So in a flailing effort to get unstuck, I put out an IG message asking for someone to jump on a Zoom with me and simply be on the other end of the call while I tried to record the intros off the cuff. But it turned into something much more than intro/outro - it turned into a deep conversation about why and how we get stuck sometimes and how we might find a way out of the maze. Thanks to Meredith Adelaide and Raul Serpas for jumping on that zoom call and helping me process this project on a macro scale. I'm eternally grateful for the final push. As I listened back, I realized I couldn't use it for intro/outro as planned, but it might actually be worth sharing as a way to connect with any of you who have ever had trouble "shipping." Thanks for listening to this season and look forward to bringing you more conversations soon enough.

This episode is a continuation of my conversation with Bassam Tariq. We pick it up where we left off last week, specifically beginning with the production of his first narrative feature, MOGUL MOWGLI. I would *highly* recommend watching that film as context for this episode. We dive quite deeply into the highs and lows of the process of making that film, working with actors, and trusting your intuition even when it gets difficult. Again, I couldn't be more thankful for Bassam's honesty and vulnerability in sharing about the making of the film. It's rare to get this level of insight into what is so often a complex and difficult process. Recorded in the middle of the night in the summer of 2020.

Paul has a background in electronic music recording and composition and graduated from the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in the UK. Paul's films include: The Proposition, The Queen, Hunger, '71, We Need To Talk About Kevin, The Imposter, American Animals, You Were Never Really Here, Saint Maud, Mogul Mowgli, and Encounter, starring Riz Ahmed. Paul's more recent film work includes Andrew Cumming's feature-length directorial debut, The Origin.

For the next conversation in this series, I couldn't think of a director I was more eager to speak with than Bassam Tariq. Bassam is on of the most thoughtful, truthful, and talented directors that I've had the chance to meet. We speak about his journey into filmmaking as a Muslim kid in post 9-11 America, his documentary feature THESE BIRDS WALK, and the evolution of his work from documentary into narrative as he prepared to make his debut feature with Riz Ahmed, MOGUL MOWGLI. We recorded this conversation in May of 2020 - long before any Marvel announcements occurred, so we don't touch on that particular project in this interview. Rather - we focus on Bassam's intention behind his work and how filmmaking is his way of being of service. When Bassam and I speak, we tend to go for hours and hours. This conversation was no exception. We started late, after our families had gone to sleep and talked late into the night. As such, I'm going to split this conversation into two parts. The first takes us to Mogul and the second, releasing next week, focuses on the specific process of making that film. I'm incredibly thankful to Bassam for his openness and honesty and hope you walk away encouraged by this conversation.

Paul's more recent film work includes Mogul Mowgli, and Encounter, directed by Michael Pearce and starring Riz Ahmed. 

In the film Mogul Mowgli, Riz Ahmed stars as Zed, an on-the-rise rapper whose biggest gig yet is threatened by the sudden onset of an illness. He's also forced to confront his own insecurities about his family and British-Pakistani identity. Ahmed co-wrote the movie along with the director Bassam Tariq, and the result is a compelling and surprising story that dances between fiction and autobiography, realism and fantasy.

[REBROADCAST FROM September 13, 2021] A new film tells the story of a British Pakistani rapper whose path to stardom is jeopardized by a serious illness. Riz Ahmed, who co-wrote and stars in the film, and Bassam Tariq, who co-wrote and directed, join us to discuss the movie, “Mogul Mowgli.”

Actors Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa talk about their new book, Woke Up This Morning: The Definitive Oral History of The Sopranos, and why they think a new generation has fallen in love with the series. Tyler Bancroft of Said the Whale fills us in on the band's new album, Dandelion. Riz Ahmed discusses his film Mogul Mowgli and why he's taken up the cause of Muslim representation in Hollywood.

Today we're joined by the multi-talented Riz Ahmed. Riz is not only an award-winning actor known for roles in films like Four Lions, Nightcrawler, Sound of Metal and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – he's also a gifted musician, and a prominent voice for change in the film industry, frequently advocating for a more diverse range of stories and storytellers. Last year, he added screenwriter to his lengthy list of talents with the mesmerising Mogul Mowgli – a dark drama about a British-Pakistani rapper who suffers the sudden onset of a debilitating autoimmune disease. Zed – played by Ahmed – is a talented MC hungry for fame but growing disconnected from his roots, when illness sends him spiralling into a string of dangerous hallucinations, stalked every step of the way by a mysterious masked figure with links to Pakistan's past.Co-written by director Bassam Tariq, the film won huge critical acclaim for its intimacy, imagination and ambition, innovatively weaving in songs from an accompanying concept album that Riz released roughly in tandem with Mogul Mowgli. In this episode, he tells us about his relationship with writing and the parts of his own life he brought to the screen in this deeply personal movie. We also talk about the film's prescient echoes of the Covid-19 pandemic and why “our scars can be a road map to our creativity” as Riz so beautifully puts it. Do make sure you've seen Mogul Mowgli before listening in, as this is a spoiler-filled conversation exploring all of the movie's major plot points. Once you have, come back and brace yourself for a fascinating insight into what for my money is one of the best movies of the past 12 months.Support for this episode comes from Screencraft, Caveday and WeScreenplay.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek, with music from Stefan Bindley-Taylor.

In today's episode, Film Forum presents a Q&A with filmmaker Bassam Tariq and star Riz Ahmed from the opening night of their acclaimed new drama MOGUL MOWGLI on September 3. In the film, Ahmed (who also produced and co-wrote the film with Tariq) gives a tour-de-force performance as a British Pakistani rapper whose successful career is threatened by a sudden illness that forces him to reckon with his own family, identity, and heritage. The Q&A was moderated by Shaka King, filmmaker of last year's Oscar-nominated JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH.

Riz Ahmed's acting and music careers have always gone hand-in-hand. And in his new film "Mogul Mowgli," which he co-wrote, the two art forms collide, with a story that hits close to home. Amna Nawaz speaks to Ahmed about his upcoming films, increasing Muslim representation in Hollywood and 9/11's lasting impact on Muslims 20 years later.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy once again go the extra mile reviewing a total of 12 new films on the show. They go from Mark Duplass and Natalie Morales looking at each other on Zoom (Language Lessons) to Sydney Sweeney looking at everything else – and us right back (The Voyeurs). There's another mountain climber documentary (The Alpinist) as well as the relationship of two icons at their peak (Blood Brothers: Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali). Stop if you seen Riz Ahmed as a rocker with a degenerative health defect (Mogul Mowgli) or a poisoned assassin protecting another child (Kate). A group of filmmakers take advantage of the pandemic to film an anthology (The Year of the Everlasting Storm) and Kristen Bell scams the coupon system (Queenpins). Three old friends see their reunion go from laughter to darkness (Small Engine Repair) and Oscar Isaac is out for redemption in Paul Schrader's latest (The Card Counter). Finally while Steve updates on the latest horror film premiering on Shudder (Martyrs Lane), the pair square off over the new James Wan film Warner Bros. didn't want critics to see and may now be regretting that decision (Malignant). 0:00 - Intro 3:23 – Language Lessons 9:42 – Martyrs Lane 15:39 – The Alpinist 23:32 – The Voyeurs 33:12 – Mogul Mowgli 40:04 – Queenpins 51:17 – The Year of the Everlasting Storm 57:25 – Blood Brothers: Malcolm X & Muhammad Ali 1:12:03 – Kate 1:25:46 – Small Engine Repair 1:43:25 – The Card Counter 1:54:34 – Malignant 2:20:51 - Outro

A new film tells the story of a British Pakistani rapper whose path to stardom is jeopardized by a serious illness. Riz Ahmed, who co-wrote and stars in the film, and Bassam Tariq, who co-wrote and directed, join us to discuss the movie, “Mogul Mowgli.”

Since 9/11, and even before, Hollywood's portrayal of Muslims has emboldened inaccurate stereotypes of dangerous villains or jihadist terrorists. In addition to misrepresenting Muslims, the industry has also arguably underrepresented this population — one U.S.C. study found Muslims represented 1.6 percent of speaking roles in recent major films. Actor, musician and activist Riz Ahmed is challenging this status quo in a career that has included playing a guileless assistant struggling to make ends meet in “Nightcrawler” and a drummer who loses his hearing in the film “Sound of Metal.” In 2021, he became the first Muslim to be nominated for a best actor Oscar — an accolade he found “bittersweet.”In this conversation, Kara Swisher and Ahmed discuss how far Hollywood has — or hasn't — come in addressing the misrepresentation of Muslims and talk about the power of streaming platforms like Netflix and HBO Max to catalyze more authentic and diverse storytelling. They also dive into Ahmed's latest project — “Mogul Mowgli,” which the artist describes as “a personal exploration of home and identity and, really, where you're from and what that means.”You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

Bassam Tariq's narrative feature debut, MOGUL MOWGLI is a bold, vital and electrifying exploration of heritage and identity. Coming off his historic Academy Award Best Actor nomination for SOUND OF METAL, Riz Ahmed, inhabits the character of Zed or Zaheer, a British Pakistani rapper, who, on the brink of his first international tour decides to fly home to the UK to visit the family he has not seen in two years. In the midst of his attempt to reconnect with his parents, particularly his father, he is suddenly struck down by an autoimmune disease. As his condition worsens and his big breakthrough moment is in danger of vanishing into thin air, Zed descends into a physical and emotional crisis, amplified by vivid hallucinations. MOGUL MOWGLI was recently nominated for Best British Film at the 2021 BAFTA and received six 2020 British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) nominations, with Ahmed winning Best Debut Screenwriter. Ahmed won the 41st London Critics' Circle Film Award for British/Irish Actor of the Year (for body of work) for performances including Zed in MOGUL MOWGLI. Director and writer Bassam Tariq stops by for a conversation on the challenge of navigating the multiple worlds that Zed lives in, collaborating with Riz Ahmed and incorporating the lessons learned from his work in documentary filmmaking into the world of narrative story-telling.

As a rapper, Riz Ahmed has released critically acclaimed albums, and he was featured on the chart-topping “Hamilton Mixtape.” At the same time, he was becoming a leading man in the movies, with roles including a small part in the Star Wars picture “Rogue One” and an extraordinary, Oscar-nominated performance in “Sound of Metal.” Like his previous film, “Mogul Mowgli” is about a musical artist facing a health crisis that could end his career. Ahmed stars as the British-Pakistani rapper Zaheer—stage name Zed—and he co-wrote the film with Bassam Tariq. “It was very much a kind of inward journey,” Ahmed tells David Remnick. “It was very much about holding up a mirror and hoping that in the honesty and the vulnerability of that exercise, people would just connect emotionally—even if they couldn't necessarily connect to the specificity of the experience. But for those who could connect to that specificity, you would be, like, ‘Jesus Christ, I never thought I'd see that onscreen!' ”

Tyler and David discuss what they've been watching, including Spring Night, Summer Night, The City Without Jews, Woodstock 99: Peace Love and Rage, Together, Isabella, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, The Deceivers, The Year of the Everlasting Storm, Changing Lanes, Wife of a Spy, Anne at 13,000 Ft., Night Creatures, Mogul Mowgli and Mondo Hollywoodland.

In his latest film, Mogul Mowgli, actor and rapper Riz Ahmed stars as Zed, a rapper diagnosed with an autoimmune disease right before he's set to go on a major tour.The film's subject reflects a bit of a trend. Earlier this year, Ahmed was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in The Sound of Metal, another film about a musician dealing with a life-altering medical condition.But Mogul Mowgli is arguably darker – and weirder. The film uses rap, lyricism, and magical realism to tell the story of a man navigating identity, family, and illness. Ahmed co-wrote the film and drew on elements from his own life – including his music career, as rapper Riz MC and one half of the hip hop duo Swet Shop Boys.Want to support 1A?

And yes, we definitely do talk about Tariq's upcoming project, the new “Blade” reboot from Marvel Studios starring Mahershala Ali. While he can't give us many details, he does talk about his surprise at landing the gig and what he hopes to bring to the franchise. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/message

The Night House is what happens when David Bruckner the director of V/H/S segment "Amateur Night" and Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski the writers of the film it ultimately became, SiREN  realize they should absolutely make a movie together. The result was a horror film that brought jump scares that were actually earned. Couple that with a story that was compelling, a great use of sound and a lead in Rebecca Hall who balances a character that is part crazy and being haunted into being crazier and what you get is a very good horror film. The camera angles used in The Night House are fantastic. Angles are used to create “living” shadows that move as the camera moves and leave you wondering if Beth (Hall) is being haunted by her dead husband or is spiraling out of control. Added to that is the use of sound and music. Fair warning, if you're watching this film at home with a surround sound system, be prepared for some terrifying sounds creeping over your left shoulder at times. Hall's performance in The Night House is reminiscent of Riz Ahmed's in Mogul Mowgli. She's asked to do a lot of the heavy lifting here (not in a bad way) and excels. She balances playing the grieving widow, suspicious wife and emotionally compromised person extremely well and at times is playing all three roles as once. The biggest issue that The Night House has is that the ending is a big unsatisfying. But even that is due to how good the story is. By the time the film comes to it's ending, you realize there's a third story that gets revealed that will leave the audience wanting more. David Bruckner definitely has a win on his hands with The Night House. Knowing that he will be reuniting with writer Ben Collins on the Hellraiser remake should raise the interest in that film. For now though, The Night House is definitely something to check out.   Like what you hear? Subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

Mogul Mowgli is a great film that serves as an introspection into what it means to be successful and the costs with setting the definition of success based on one's own insecurities. Riz Ahmed plays a Pakistani rapper named Zed, whose dreams are crushed when he's diagnosed with a degenerative autoimmune disease  . This isn't the first time Ahmed has played a musician who is left to contemplate his future because his body has betrayed him. In the Sound of Metal, he plays a drummer who loses his hearing and is forced to come to terms with his new reality. In Mogul Mowgli, in addition to coming to terms with his condition, Zed also has to confront and face his own internal struggles with his cultural upbringing and relationship with his father.  This is Bassam Tariq's first feature film as a director and it's a very impressive first time out. Tariq is rumored to be in negotiations to direct Marvel Studio's Blade which would not only be a great choice but fit the Marvel Studios pattern of getting talented directors before they really blow up. This film is shot and put together wonderfully to tell an engaging and at times heartbreaking story. If the goal was to illicit emotions from the audience, then this film will do it. While the film leans heavily on Riz Ahmed to carry the narrative of the film, the rest of the cast does exactly what is needed. Alyy Khan is great casting for Bashir, Zed's father. Khan is the overbearing father who comes off as strict and not as loving but in reality loves his son more than his son realizes. There are some really great scenes between Ahmed and Khan that really cut to the heart of what this film is trying to convene. Nabhaan Rizwan also deserves create for playing RPG. He's infuriatingly ridiculous and offers a great look at why Zed is pushing so hard to get back on his feet but also has us asking what is the true definition of success. Mogul Mowgli is definitely a film to check out once it becomes available. It seems as if Ahmed is really in his element with these films and telling them through characters that are musicians. Maybe part of this is working through is own feelings with his own music. Whatever the reason, it works and he should keep it up.

We bring you a dark comedy double bill with the women behind new releases Black Bear and I Blame Society. First, Anna welcomes seasoned guest, film & tv critic Rhianna Dhillon, to catch up on the awards season. They share their thoughts about this year’s EE British Academy Film Awards winners, from Promising Young Woman to Nomadland, and place their bets for the Oscars. Are more diverse filmmakers and actors being recognised this year? Next up, actress and producer Aubrey Plaza joins Anna to talk about her role as Allison in Black Bear. This artistic comedy-drama centres an actress on a difficult film shoot in a remote location. Delving into the themes of the film, Aubrey considers the harmful myth of the ‘genius’ director and why it’s important for actors to feel safe on set. She further describes her relationship with feminism and recalls a time she spoke up for a poorly written female character. Keep listening for an exclusive insight into Aubrey’s upcoming projects! Finally, writer-director and actress Gillian Wallace Horvat tells Anna how her short doc evolved into the murder mockumentary I Blame Society. Another film-within-a-film, this funny thriller sees a struggling director decide filmmaking and killing are not so dissimilar. Gillian reveals the personal experiences that inspired her to make the film and speaks her mind on the term “strong female lead”. She also reflects on how female horror directors are sometimes treated differently to their male counterparts. Other movie and TV mentions: After Love, Sound of Metal, Mogul Mowgli, Promising Young Woman, Rocks, Nomadland, My Octopus Teacher, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Happiest Season, Parks and Recreation, The Untitled Guy Ritchie Movie, David Holzman’s Diary, Gone Girl, Prevenge, I Care A Lot, The Last Seduction, To Die For, Species, Melancholia.

In this week's episode we discuss Bassam Tariq's 2020 film, Mogul Mowgli. A rapper, about to go on a world tour that will change his life, is stricken down by an auto-immune disease that forces him to confront his cultural background while undergoing treatment.

Our first anniversary is upon us and one year to the day the podcast was conceived (immaculately), a fourth voice has joined our choir. This time out, Scott, Chris and Kev welcome dear friend Craig and set about reviewing Greenland, News of the World, I Care A Lot and Mogul Mowgli. The team also gives their recommendations for films showing on Disney+ Star, run into Pitch Battle armed only with a fabled, enchanted can of fizzy drink and Tim Allen-esque grunting noises, and top up the ever growing Tracks of the Trade playlist.

The busiest -- and best -- movie month of 2020 brought us no shortage of TWIN new releases, about African-American aspiring musicians (Soul 3:50 and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom 8:10), about movies with an excellent lead actress (Promising Young Woman 20:18 - SPOILERS from 29:40-33:55 and Black Bear 38:42), about Riz Ahmed's excellent acting as a musician with a health crisis (Sound of Metal 34:00 and Mogul Mowgli 37:00), about man-eating wolves (The Wolf of Snow Hollow 39:00 and Wolfwalkers 39:45), about adult friendships (Fourteen 41:00 and The Climb 41:20), about movies that remind Sammy of In The Name of The Father (Mangrove 14:20 and End of Sentence 41:30), three movies that don't fit into this framework (Another Round 19:50, Happiest Season, and The 24th 40:40) plus a few that at least one of us suggest are NOT worth your time: The Nest (42:20), Wonder Woman 1984 (42:35), Yellow Rose (44:40), Bloody Nose Empty Pockets (45:09), Let Him Go (46:20), Let Them All Talk (46:30), I'm Your Woman (47:20). Oh, and the Small Axe movie Love Rocks (15:30) is really great so go watch that instead of listening to this podcast. We also prep for next month's best-of-2020 32 movies bracket episode by hosting a mini-bracket for 16 movies competing to make the finale (48:20). Only SPOILERS in the episode is for Promising Young Woman from 29:40 to 33:55. Outre: "Silly Games" (1979), Janet Kay, composed by Dennis Bovell.

Boston-based Pakistani-American actor, musician, behavioral health consultant, and self-identified miscreant Shahjehan Khan joins us to discuss his recent work voicing the dashing Italian American tour guide Matteo on RomComPods. Debuting as Apple's #1 fiction podcast, we hear how this project expanded his definition of art, where COVID-era performers are recording these days, and how Shahjehan took his own journey through Pakistan in order to find himself. (Have you noticed how Americans are always going abroad to find themselves?) We also learn how his role as co-founder/guitarist/songwriter of the ever-evolving and internationally renowned South-Asian American punk rock band The Kominas has been a 15-year exercise in community building. As someone in long-term recovery who has at times felt like he had a fractured identity, he candidly details his mental health struggles, its correlation to creativity, and debates with Asad about the stigma of addiction in the Muslim community. Shahjehan reveals what it's like to personally disrupt a Trump rally, and how it feels to finally be a brown guy cast in a white role. Find out what you should be watching, reading, and listening to, and the incredible way that the complicated Muslim American narrative is advancing. This interview with Shahjehan Khan was recorded in November 2020. You can learn more about his band, the Kominas, at kominas.bandcamp.com. The first season of RomComPods is available wherever you get your podcasts. View his recent performance as the co-lead actor in Guards at the Taj by the SoHo Shakespeare Company here. Finally, check out his ongoing project, Chaand Sequence, a COVID-era collaboration between artists who are children of immigrants creating music and art as a means of self-healing.
