Munna Michael Podcast

Munna Michael Podcast

Author: Margaret Redlich July 22, 2017 Duration: 31:40
My friend Dina and I saw Munna Michael and then spent the whole car ride home laughing about it, and explaining why it was the funnest movie watching experience of the year so far. This is the podcast of that conversation.

Every week, Margaret Redlich and her friend Dina make a trip to the cinema, united by their shared passion for the vibrant world of Indian film. The agreement ends there. Don't Call It Bollywood captures their immediate, unfiltered reactions as they dissect what they just watched, turning the car ride home into a spirited debate. You’ll hear two dedicated fans grapple with everything from blockbuster hits to smaller gems, questioning narratives, performances, and the very definition of a "good" film. Margaret, a long-time enthusiast, brings a deep historical context, while Dina offers a sharp, contrasting perspective, making each conversation genuinely unpredictable. This isn't a formal review show but a raw, often funny, and always thoughtful dialogue that digs into the heart of cinematic storytelling. The podcast thrives on that authentic clash of opinions, celebrating the complexity of an industry too often simplified. For anyone curious about the discussions that happen after the credits roll, this series offers a front-row seat to a friendship tested by art. Margaret also extends the conversation on her blog, but the core of the experience is right here in these weekly recordings.
