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).
