We Love the Love

We're headed back to Bollywood for the movie that was once the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time: the 2009 college musical comedy 3 Idiots.

Join in as we discuss educational films, contract disputes, conservative chain emails, the career of Omi "Big in Bollywood" Vaidya, and some deeply troubling jokes from which English-language viewers are spared.

Plus: Why was this movie such an international success? How does Chatur's sabotage scheme succeed? How can you tell if someone is impotent? And does urine actually conduct electricity?

Next week: Dial M for Murder (1954) - available to stream free on Kanopy!

After weeks inside, we're looking for a getaway, so it's time to take a look at Arthur Penn's 1967 retelling of Bonnie and Clyde, written by Robert Benton and David Newman and starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

Join in as we discuss getaway drivers, modesty windows, a pioneering depiction of blood, the 1967 Best Picture race, a very bad thing about Donald Trump, and the experience of watching The Phantom Menace.

Plus: Why were bank robbers so popular in the 1930s? Why was the throuple cut from the movie? Should Clyde be able to have sex? And just how strong is our anti-murder stance?

Next week: Singin' in the Rain (1952)

We return to both puppets and musicals this week for a look at Frank Oz's 1986 adaptation of the Alan Menken and Howard Ashman musical Little Shop of Horrors.

Join in as Will and Marc discuss celebrity cameos, abusive relationships, carnivorous plants, and how to make a giant puppet move naturally onscreen.

Plus: Who did the studio want to cast as Audrey instead of Ellen Greene? Is Rick Moranis a huge cutie? Is Seymour as guilty as Sweeney Todd? And what ever happened to the movie's original ending?

Next week: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966)

Start spreading the news, because - as Will and Marc were somehow surprised to learn - the iconic song "Theme from New York, New York" actually comes from this week's movie, the 1977 musical New York, New York, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Liza Minelli and Robert De Niro.

Join in as we discuss this homage to Golden Age movie musicals, our own backgrounds with Scorsese, the movie's incredible finale, and, once again, Barbra Streisand's underground mall.

Plus: Is Jimmy the worst man? Where does this movie fit in Liza's relationship history? Does Marty listen to podcasts? And does Happy Endings seem like it would have any hope of being a good movie?

Next week: The Women (1939)

We're taking a look at the ultimate "what would you do" movie, Adrian Lyne's 1993 erotic drama Indecent Proposal!

Join in as we discuss the career of director Adrian Lyne, whether we'd take John Gage's million-dollar offer, and why you shouldn't have sex on a pile of money.

Plus: How is the movie different from the novel it's based on? To what extent did Diana and David have the option of refusing? What's a good price for a hippo? And, most importantly, why aren't you listening to You Must Remember This?
