Hi, everybody.

I'm Leonard Malton.

And you are listening to Malton on Movies.

And we are very, very pleased to have as our guest today, Rahmin Barani, most recently an Academy Award nominee for Best Adapted Screenplay for his terrific film, The White Tiger, which if you didn't see, is available anytime you care to see it on Netflix and highly, highly recommended by us.

And he's the man who made, well, who knocked my socks off with his very first film,

Man Push Card, and then did it again two years later with a film called Chop Shop.

And if you haven't seen those, they are now available in extensive and lovingly

curated and assembled Blu-rays from the Criterion Collection. So we're going to talk about all that

and more. Welcome, Ramin. Thank you. Thank you, Leonard and Jesse. It's great to see you guys. Same here.

I'm going to teach you a word, Daddy. Yeah. Stan. St.A. and Stan. You are a Ramin Barani
