Hello, my name's Justin the Klu, and I'm here today with Will Sloan.

And you're listening to The Important Cinema Club.

And today, we're going to be talking about Indian cinema.

And if you are an expert on Indian cinema, turn the podcast off now.

Yeah, this is going to be really embarrassing.

Yeah, this is not for you.

Two white guys will be saying things like, have you ever heard of this movie called Sholay?

Because while I have an interest in the country's output, I'm by no means an expert. We're like

scratching at the surface, and that's pretty much it. But we're enthusiasts.

Yes, exactly. We like it. We want to like it. Now, has Indian cinema in your life had a very big place, Will? Because you've seen a lot more than I have. I probably see anywhere between like

three and six new Bollywood movies a year. And you mentioned before that it was actually your

friends that would take it when you were younger to the cinema? I used to go with high school friends when I was in high

school up to the Albian cinema in Atobico just every now and then to see movies. There was one in

particular called Doom 2, which is commonly known as a Fast and the Furious rip-off series.

Yeah, kind of.

It's a franchise of like cops and robbers movies and doomed to like seeing it just absolutely

blew me away.

I had no context for a movie like this because it was like a Hollywood blockbuster but

with no irony and with all the like ridiculous stuff like turned up to 11 like it had three big

bollywood stars in it herethik rohan abyshec bacchan and ashwarya rye and like they gave like

turbocharged star performances and it had so much like ridiculous crazy shit in it like there's a

scene where herethik rochshan plays a master of disguise like Dana Carvey. I will Sloan favorite. And he's like disguised as an old janitor. And Abyshechak Bachchan as the cop pauses him and says, hey, excuse me, where's your identification number? And Rochan has acid in his shoes and he's above a manhole.
