Ramin Bahrani's adaptation of the New York Times Best-Selling Novel THE WHITE TIGER dropped on Netflix over the weekend and landed firmly in the Netflix Top 10 as one of the most watched films on the platform. This week, host Andrew Morgan and film critic Chris Frodel of Arguing With Myself come together to review the Indian crime drama and discuss its early comparisons to films like Scarface & Parasite, the protagonist's moral complexity, the breakout performance from Adarsh Gourav, the backdrop of the Caste System & the master/servant relationship, & much more (1:00). Then, Andrew is joined by documentary director Shawn Cauthen for an interview about the origins of Netflix, their battle with Blockbuster, the gamble on Netflix Originals, & much more about his latest film, Netflix vs The World (37:55).

Ever find yourself scrolling through Netflix's endless movie menu, landing on a new original, and wondering if it's worth your time? That's where The NOMCAST-Netflix Original Movie Podcast comes in. Host Andrew Morgan, a comedian with a deep love for film, doesn't just give a thumbs up or down. Instead, he digs into each film with a different guest every episode-you might hear from a working cinematographer one week, a film critic the next, or a friend from the comedy scene. These conversations go beyond simple review, exploring what works, what doesn't, and why these specific movies exist in the streaming era. The discussions are insightful but kept loose and entertaining, thanks to Andrew's perspective. Whether it's a major blockbuster or a smaller, quirky release, this podcast treats each Netflix original as a piece of modern cinema worth a thoughtful, and often funny, dissection. You'll come away with a better understanding of the film itself and the unique landscape of streaming-original content. It's like having a passionate, well-informed friend to debrief with after the credits roll.
