About this listen
Listen, friends. Some movies are good. And some movies are bad. And some movies are bad Hindi-language adaptations of good Tamil-language originals. In today's episode, we're dealing with the latter. We've once more split up so we could watch a Southern Indian film (Theri) and it's Bollywood remake (Baby John). And while neither movie is perfect, one is a charming and comedic action flick, while the other is a failed attempt at pairing comedy with a message about... human trafficking? The importance of a strong father figure? It's never entirely clear. But we often have just as much fun tearing apart bad movies as we do gushing over good ones, and here we got to do both! Also, please be aware that our discussion this week includes mention of sexual assault. Theri was directed by Atlee and stars Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Amy Jackson. Baby John was directed by Kalees and stars Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff.
