Nothing marvellous about Ms. Marvel

This review contains spoiler(s) Turns out, that you just need to watch something atrocious to want to write a review after a short sabbatical from writing reviews. It’s not to say I wasn’t inspired when I streamed a bunch of trash and others between May-July but Ms. Marvel deserves a…

Mark my attendance for Abbot Elementary

It’s difficult to explain the institutional infrastructure and the problems surrounding it to an audience that has little to no knowledge about the geo-political pulse of that nation. Add to it, the complexities of the racial identity politics and you have in hand, a full a splainer ready to precede…

Is Severance worth an Apple TV subscription?

I recently read on Twitter that if a headline prompts a question, the answer is almost, always no. I believe it to be the case cause Twitter is the second-best source to gather information, news, and knowledge (second only to Wikipedia). The answer to the headline, in this case, is…

Thar, on Netflix, is in a league of its own

Thar, on Netflix, is not your usual Bombay film. For one, it does not subscribe to the standard stupidity of having an item number with the end credits rolling out on your screen. It takes guts for filmmakers today to walk past that cursory banger that is bound to play…

Why do you hate the Kardashians?

I get a lot of raised eyebrows each time I share any Kardashian-related information. For the most part, people don’t associate a triple degree holder, one foot firmly in academia scholar with the KarJenners in seriousness. I get it as well, when I dropped the bomb on my advisor about…

In Good Hands on Netflix is a watchable attempt at melodrama

The world around us took no time to get back to “normal” or whatever second hand, pale version of normalcy we are down to accepting today. Educational institutions are back to conducting classes on the ground, the kids are making merry in college lawns (so what if it’s 40 degrees…

The curious case of Sharmaji Namkeen

The disclaimer offered by Sharmaji Namkeen before the film begins sets the tone; somehow the “extraordinary circumstances” of “unprecedented events” remind one of Covid-19. The expectations are set on a somewhat ominous note by explaining how two actors have rarely played one role and that we should be grateful to…

Eternally Confused and Eager for Love: Bandrafied Buddy Series on Netflix

The first striking bit when you’re streaming Eternally Confused and Eager for Love (ECEL) will be the big struggle for characters to find correct labels for Ray. The overthinking, socially anxious protagonist denies being a virgin to his friends, denies asexuality to his mother, and denies coming out of the…

Drive To Survive, literally

Documentaries are not everybody’s cup of tea. Documentaries trying to balance the scale between fact and fiction are certainly not for the masses. Yet, Drive To Survive on Netflix found the popularity and the reasons to grab the eyeballs. Being touted as responsible for bringing a new generation of the…

Bucket hats to Balenciaga: the making of a jeen-yuhs

Fashion Mogul; businessman; gamechanger; doting father; greatest; toxic; bully; bipolar; crazy; God; Yeezy. You cannot ignore the force Ye is, regardless of your love, hate or indifference for him. Kanye Omari West wears many hats. To an average Swiftie, he’s a local menace; to a black man in a developing…
