One of the best podcasts on entertainment, pop culture and many other things, not more for the reviews but the overall entertainment quotient.

Prakash was boring as hell. Perhaps the only episode of TA&A where I got thoroughly bored and was literally waiting for the eposide to end, so that I could end my walk and go home.

I believe that Kumbalangi Nights is a great movie. As an entertaining, original and quite well performed movie. Not sure about the politics. Seems like what a "Film Critic" would look at in a movie. You may have also lost something in the language but I enjoyed the movie and found it refreshing.
