War 2

War 2

Author: Kim Hughes & Katie Babione November 18, 2025 Duration: 1:20:12

We've been waiting 5 years for the sequel to 2019's War! And... we're not as disappointed as we thought we might be! The Yash Raj Films Spy Cinematic Universe is finally bringing us back to super spy Kabir and his roguish yet heroic adventures. There are explosions and impossible feats of strength galore in this action packed flick that also tries to pull at your heart strings. Whether or not it's successful is less important than the fact that it's fun, and silly, and so far over the top we're not sure where the top is anymore. War 2 was directed by Ayan Mukerji and stars Hrithik Roshan, N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Ashutosh Rana. Like what you're hearing?

Ever wondered what happens when two friends with a deep love for cinematic spectacle decide to dive headfirst into the vibrant, song-filled world of Indian film? That’s the premise of 2 White Girls Talk Bollywood, hosted by Kim Hughes and Katie Babione. This isn’t a formal film studies lecture; it’s a lively, personal, and often hilarious conversation from two enthusiastic fans sharing their discoveries. Each episode, they take on a different Bollywood film, breaking down its plot, its standout musical numbers, and the cultural nuances that make it unique. But they go beyond just the movie recap. The hosts pick a specific theme from the film-whether it’s a historical period, a fashion trend, or a social issue-and delve into it, bringing research and curiosity to the table. Listening to this podcast feels like joining a fun, informative chat with friends who are just excited to talk about what they love. You’ll hear their genuine reactions, their growing appreciation for the industry’s artistry, and their amusing takes on the dramatic twists and iconic dance sequences that define Bollywood. For anyone curious about these films but unsure where to start, or for long-time fans looking for a fresh perspective, Kim and Katie offer an accessible and entertaining guide through a world of color, emotion, and sheer entertainment.
