Dhruv and Cris meet Devarsi again outside the industrial hellscape of "Eraserhead" -- this time travelling alongside two new (hopefully recurring!) podcast guests, Rushnan and Vani -- on Lynch's "Lost Highway" to psychosexual hell.

August and September were the lucky months for some Indian cinephiles who crave an alternate form of cinema (i.e., indie) to the mainstream one they have to endure for the rest of the time in cinemas.
In this episode, Sanjeet, Amartya, Cris & Dhruv ... more

Amartya and Dhruv had been desperately waiting for Spike Lee's latest film to release, only because they wanted an excuse to go back and revisit Akira Kurosawa's incredibly influential 1963 classic, "High and Low."

Long gone are the days when Dhruv and Sanjeet talked about QID not being a platform for ranting about films we hate.
What was supposed to merely be a (fun) category addition to our Best of 2025 (So Far) List took about an hour of discussion, which m... more
In this very special episode, Dhruv welcomes back Prakhar Patidar (previously appeared on the "All We Imagine as Light" ep!) to discuss the Taiwanese New Wave of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s because, well, they both love its particularly sad, intros... more
Loved the latest episode on RMN and Old Oak. I would have never found out about these films even though they portray some of my most favorite themes on screen. Thanks for a great discussion!
A genuinely engaging and informative podcast. Deep dive conversations into topics and a genuine attempt to interest people into watching films.
Got hooked onto this podcast fascinating discussions looking forward for more!
I never knew contrasting opinions would result in such civil discussions.
Absolutely loved Sherni and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar episodes.
Also got brilliant insight into Kannada episode.
Hopefully shall get to listen more of these episodes in the coming few months!
Cheers!
Great podcast. The team presents great insights each session. Always looking forward to more!
Informative and engaging podcast. Always fun to listen to. Great job guys.
I listen to them during workout or while cooking. The conversations are interesting and enjoyable. Hoping for more regular uploads.
All my go to podcasts are from them! Absolutely lovely ⭐️
Listening to this podcast is so much fun especially the recent one
I was in a rut watching the movies I had already watched a million times but I listened to this podcast and was able to get new perspectives. Pros 1. Knowledgeable reviewers who don’t compare sci-fi movies to “Nolan movies” or violent movies to “bro Tarantino bro” 2. Variety of formats and genres to listen to for Indian and Global cinema 3. Great tangents and genuinely crackling banter Cons 1. Not long enough
Great Content on films and pop culture
Loved listening to all the episodes!
Great podcast on films and good topics
They keep me company on long walks and they have quality conversations about film, TV and anything in the realm of pop culture. I wish they posted more often!
