Dev Patel makes his directorial debut with the delicious and salacious world of Monkey Man. We talk about the important of telling our own stories, the multidimensional ‘Dev Gaze’ in addressing culture (class , caste etc) women (the rights and lack of rights), ancient cultures having more than two genders as well as religious and political tensions. We talk about how this felt non negotiable.

Trigger warning: Monkey Man addresses sexual assault, violence of women and this interview mentions the Nirbhaya case. Resources below.

Monkey Man will be in Australian cinemas from Thursday April 4th.

KT and Oti are a laugh to listen to and they deliver such insightful, clever reflections wrapped up in a whole lotta sass. Can’t get enough.

The King and Queen of Film and Television podcasting. No matter what they cover they somehow end up having the most fascinating discussions about themes and concepts you might not even realise are at play. They are full of love, laughs and controversy. It's why I keep on coming back!

KT and Oti are one of those couples that keep it real - in the most entertaining way. Their taste isn’t restricted by what’s popular or not, they just follow their heart when it comes to what they review each week, and how they review it. Lots of hot takes, lots of thoughtful discussions, and some spicy arguments every now and then! What’s not to love?
