Pete and Andy hit the road with Kamir, Imraan, and Arjun on this week’s show as we continue our 10 Year Anniversaries series with Zoya Akhtar’s delightful film ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.’ It’s a road movie following three guys on an adventure vacation/bachelor party, and while it sounds a bit like ‘The Hangover,’ it’s anything but. We had a great time with it! Check it out then tune in!
We continue our 10 Year Anniversaries series with Nadine Labaki’s 2011 film ‘Where Do We Go Now?’ Labaki uses a touch of magical realism and musical elements to weave a tale of an isolated village where the woman try to keep the men from going to war with one another.

It’s time for our October 2021 member bonus episode, and our members voted that we discuss “Dimensions: A Line, a Loop, a Tangle of Thread.” The title certainly piqued our curiosity, but what did we think of the movie? Tune in to find out!
We’re looking at the second film in our Ten Year Anniversary series – Juliana Rojas’ and Marco Dutra’s 2011 film ‘Hard Labor,’ or ‘Trabalhar Cansa.’ It’s a look at the struggles of the working world in Brazil’s struggling economy, but what do we think of the horror metaphors in the film? Is it enough or does it leave the film feeling muddled? Tune in to see what we thought!
This is a tough film to recommend because it’s not entertainment, and it doesn’t feel right to call this story enjoyable. However, both JJ and Steve agree that there is something to be learned from stories like this. It is a film that is likely to start g
We’re continuing our 10th anniversary celebration series with Miranda July’s 2011 film ‘The Future’. It’s quirky and charming and has a lot to say about life and how we live it. But it doesn’t seem to land with everyone. How does it work for us? Tune in to find out!
