In this episode, we wrap up our focus on Indian cinema for the time being. After the highs of Tumbad and the lows of 13B, Dustin brings a quirky black comedy crime film hoping to lift his co-hosts spirits and drag the group across the finish line. Join us as we delve into Anurag Basu’s Ludo from 2020. Michael has some harsh criticism for the depictions of several members among the central cast. Jason gets completely lost in the film and struggles to even discuss the plot. Dustin fights through the chaos to champion the merits that made the movie such an enjoyable experience. But before all that, we have dueling shout outs to the Star Trek franchise and the dated but still running American comic book series Spawn. And so much more!
