Jake Serwin & Ian Rhine, hosts of the preeminent Clint Eastwood podcast Pod Casty For Me return to discuss one of the finest studio comedies of the 90s, "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" starring Mike Myers. 

We discuss the film as both a product of broader ambient 60s nostalgia in the decade and an extension of Mike Myers deep personal affinity for the cultural output of the era. Then, we talk about the film itself as cultural juggernaut, and why Austin Powers and the Mike Myers brand felt inescapable. Finally, we talk about the film's lasting legacy and the way it in no small part shaped the trajectory of the James Bond franchise (and maybe a few others).

Jackie and Greg return to Michelangelo Antonioni's “trilogy on modernity and its discontents” with the final film in the cycle, 1962's L'ECLISSE. Topics of discussion include the film's fascination with architecture, its radical ending, Antonioni's mastery of mood and atmosphere, and how it compares to the other two films in the trilogy: L'AVVENTURA and LA NOTTE.

Jackie and Greg get into the moodiest film about an affair ever made, Michelangelo Antonioni's L'AVVENTURA from 1960. Topics of discussion include the film's use of negative space, how Monica Vitti is more than just a pretty face, why movies about sad rich people are always compelling, and how Antonioni is responsible for creating a new film grammar.

The Lascaux Cave Paintings belong to the Paleolithic Age and are some of the oldest paintings in the world. 

In conversation with columnist, author and former editor of India Today, Kaveree Bamzai on Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983).

Superfan Kaveree and I tried to unpack what makes Kundan Shah's endlessly fascinating comedy — timeless. We talked about our favorite scenes, Kundan Shah's style, the comedic genius of Satish Shah, the film's increasingly relevant satire, its take on corruption and media, and the spoken language dialogue of the film.

We also touched on the influences on the film, from the Marx Brothers to Antonioni to the 1964 Dilip Kumar film, Leader.

Kaveree also made some interesting points about the famous 'Mahabharat scene' and why we, as a country, are much more touchy about the Ramayan than the Mahabharat.
