    Episode 14: Peeping Toms

    Greetings from the snowy North! To close out the year, we sat down to discuss Uri Zohar's Peeping Toms, a cult classic of questionale taste, and talk beach life, nihilism, French new wave, speedos, Mediterannean masculinities and of course...no, wait, we forgot the biscuits this time!  CW: sexual assault, sexual harassment, scenes of adult nature.

    Episode 13: Salah Shabati

    We're BAAACK! After much delay, we're finally back with season 2 of Calcutta Arthouse. This season, we move from the tropic heat of West Bengal to the humid shores of the Mediterannean, for a deep - but still irreverent -  dive into the films of Isreal. For our season opener, we sat down to watch Salah Shabati, and talk immigrtaion, integration, agricultural socialism, and of course, buiscuits. Join us for Tel-Aviv Maintream.

    Episode 12: Chokher Bali

    A special bonus episode! Just as we were about to despair, we found a copy of Choker Bali, the Aishwarya Rai Tagore movie, and so we sat down to discuss widowhood, tea, novelistic cinematography, and intertexuality. And of course, Pramit takes back any thing bad he ever said about Aishwarya Rai.

    Episode 9: Goopy Gyne Bhaga Byne

    Finally, a bit of comic relief! In this episode, we tackle West Bengal's beloved children's classic, Goopy Gyne Bhaga Byne, a tale of musicianship, adventure, and magic. We also take in the Mahabarata, funky outfits, experimental jazz, the Wizard of Oz, Alexander Lemtov (#LemtovForever), and of course, biscuit report!

    Episode 8: Charulata

    Ayelet and Pramit sit down to discuss Charulata, probably our favorite movie so far. We take in wallpapers, politics, Hollywood glamour, the Bengal Renaissance, and get deep into triangles (so many triangles). We also bring a new - salacious! - biscuit, and digress into our newest obsession, Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga.

    Episode 7: The Big City

    In today's episode, we discuss The Big City, get both feisty and political, plus a double biscuit feature! In a particularly irreverant departure, Ayelet demands a feminist remake starring Aishwarya Rai and Melissa McCarthy, and Pramit gets into class dynamics and very full episode synopses - and we both agree that the forgotten heroine of this film is in fact Edith. Oh, Edith.
