Mississippi Masala (1991)
Description
PASSION. TRADITION. MIX IT UP.
In a typical hard left turn for us out of the action genre, this week we cover Mira Nair's MISSISSIPPI MASALA, a stunningly steamy romance set very near to where a lot of us grew up. We talk about diving into a West African history that we aren't familiar with, Denzel at his most charismatic, and how romance films work best when you're unbelievably attracted to both leads. Josh also walks us through Venom 3, Here, and Anora, Joey checks out Conclave and Trap, Jackson talks comfort television, and Sutherland finishes the Human Condition trilogy.
