The Podcaster: The Way We Were

De: The Podcaster - The Way We Were
  • Resumen

  • 'The Way We Were' connects the dots between the past and the present to reveal that cinema, popular culture, all forms of artistic expression, politics, and music are purveyors of ideas and impulses that reveal to us what we most need to learn about ourselves. The podcast revisits films, songs, watershed moments in art, culture, society and politics to show how a thread of continuity runs through them all and connects them inextricably to each other. Rich with nostalgia, trivia, lived anecdotes, and the larger meaning of events that are making news and impacting the zeitgeist, 'The Way We Were,' is about the pixels that make the big picture, exclusively on The Podcaster.

  • 8: Ep 008 - From Benegal to Payal Kapadia: India's Big Cannes Moment
    Jun 21 2024
    This year history was made when filmmaker Payal Kapadia became the first person from India to clinch the prestigious Grand Prix at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. In 1946, Neecha Nagar by Chetan Anand, had also shared top honours at the first Cannes Film Festival and pioneered social realism in Indian cinema.

    From what we know, Payal's film also furthers this engagement with lived realities of the unseen and the unheard. Cannes this year also screened a gloriously restored 1976 Shyam Benegal classic 'Manthan', reminding us once again just how intentional and socially responsible our cinema used to be.

  • 7: Ep 007 - How Kiran Rao rewrote women in Hindi cinema
    May 24 2024
    Laapataa Ladies' title is perhaps indicative of the absence of women in male-centric mainstream entertainment. Of women who are not just decorative, pliant, seductive or suffering endlessly to justify their prominence in a narrative. If you want to see how differently men and women portray female characters , watch Imtiaz Ali's 'She' and Maria Schrader's 'She Said.' The woman in 'She' is a manipulated, sexualised, brutalised being who finds her power in seduction and 'She Said' is the real story of two mothers/journalists who together ended Harvey Weinstein's reign of horror and abuse.

    'Laapataa Ladies' is also path breaking in its intention to portray 'ordinary' women as heroic. They don't have to go through great degradation, oppression and pain in order to qualify for greatness. They are not sacrificial mothers, avenging angels, preoccupied with men or children. Feminism here is articulated by women as the freedom to be who they truly are. Unlike Bhansali's cinema where feminine suffering is endlessly glorified.

  • 6: Ep 006 - The Child Stars Who Forgot to Twinkle
    Jan 5 2024
    Deepa Bhatia's insightful Amazon Prime series 'First Act' is not an easy watch, especially if you are a parent. But it lays bare before you just how twisted the pursuit of fame can be and how cruel it is to children who are denied the simple luxury of childhood and the joy of playing with blocks without being interrupted.
