    Episode #12 - Auteur Archive - Martin Scorsese (Part 1), His Early Movies, Cinephilia, Archival Work, His Influence on Us and Why Marvel Sucks

    Hi everyone, We are back with the 12th episode of Talking Pictures, and we have another episode of Auteur Archive, in which we discuss the one and only Martin Scorsese, one of cinema's greatest artists. We love his movies, his film appreciation, and his film archival work, so we talk about all of that. We discuss his early movies—Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, and Raging Bull—along with his cinephilia and how he inspires us to go to the theatres and seek and talk about movies, his Film Foundation work, his Marvel opinions and what we think of it. Cinema will be forever indebted to him. We were joined by Dhruv from The Queen is Dead podcast and Akashdeep, a filmmaker, who will join us for the other Scorsese recordings as well. We also have a voice note from Vikas from Australia about Scorsese and what he loves about his films. You can send us voice or text notes about Scorsese or how he has inspired your love for films, and we will include them in the upcoming episodes. Reach out to us on your Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_talking.pictures_/ and DM us there so that we can figure something out.

    Episode #10 - Auteur Archive - David Fincher, His Obsession with True Crime, Our Most and Least Favourites

    Disclaimer - We had audio issues while recording this episode. Since we had guests, of course, we couldn't possibly re-record this. We have tried to correct the issues as much as possible, but they still remain. Apologies for the audio quality in advance. Welcome to another episode of Talking Pictures. This week we are joined by three guests - Soumya - who has been here on our 2023 favourites episodes, Runcil, and Ekata - both of whom are appearing for the first time (hopefully not the last). We discuss one of our favorite directors - DAVID FINCHER! We talk about what we love about him and what makes him great, and everyone talks about a particular film from his filmography that they like. I hope you like the episode, and let us know your favorite Fincher film in the comments! See you next time.

    Episode #9 - Anora, The Room Next Door, and Other Anticipated Films from Cannes and Venice Film Festival 2024, Cinema and Corporate Greed

    Hello hello to everyone who's listening in. We are back after an unintended break of 7 months due to a lack of time to record together. In this episode, we discuss the most anticipated movies from the recently concluded Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, and like always, we deviate and segue into other topics like how Corporate Greed affects cinema, Film Schools and their pros and cons, and geek about every single director whose films we have picked a little.
