Ajay Thakkar and Nathan Long Discuss Immaculate and Late Night with the Devil

Author: Ajay Thakkar April 11, 2024 Duration: 28:48
We're back! Did you miss us? Will the algorithm work in our favor and deliver us views for this episode? Who knows! Nathan and I discuss our thoughts on a couple of horror flicks that just dropped in the theatres. Immaculate and Late Night with the Devil. We were pleasantly surprised by these films. Don't worry, we did watch Monkey Man together in the cinema the day after we filmed this episode and will discuss it later this week!

Ever find yourself wanting to dissect a film's ending or celebrate a hidden gem, but you need the right person to chat with? That's the feeling Ajay Discusses Movies captures in every episode. Host Ajay Thakkar brings his perspective as a stand-up comedian and genuine film enthusiast to conversations that are less like formal reviews and more like the best kind of late-night chat after leaving the theater. Each week, he's joined by a rotating cast of guests from across the comedy and entertainment worlds, ensuring the dialogue is always fresh and often unexpectedly funny. They dive into everything from classic cinema and cult favorites to the latest blockbuster or buzzy TV show, never taking things too seriously but always with a clear love for the material. Listening to this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at a lively table where hot takes are welcome, deep cuts are appreciated, and the sheer joy of talking about what works-or hilariously doesn’t-in a story is the whole point. You’ll get thoughtful analysis woven seamlessly with humor, personal anecdotes, and that specific thrill of connecting over a shared scene or performance. It’s the perfect companion for your watchlist, offering new angles on old favorites and enthusiastic introductions to films you might have missed.
