Lady Problems, or Problem Ladies? Pataakha, Good Luck Jerry, and Darlings
Episode 136, Aug 25, 2022, 05:12 AM
We do our best to not feel the wrath of these women scorned as we check out three recent(ish) black comedies with female leads. Also lots of good music recommendations in this one.
Notes:
Notes:
- Black Comedy
- That Mel Brooks quote was basically right: “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.”
- Pushing The Envelope: Being Cyrus and Delhi Belly, with Suchin Mehrotra
- Not dependent on wordplay and puns, so might work better for people who don’t speak Hindi?
- Pataakha
- Everyone understands the Wario analogy
- Radhika Madan
- “Cows Around” by Corn Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans
- Maybe both Pataakha and Jojo’s were influenced by Sabai?
- SPOILER ZONE: 24:21- 27:45
- Good Luck Jerry
- “Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine” by the White Stripes
- Kolamaavu Kokila
- Maybe the South Indian film fans were right?
- Knockoff Pankaj Tripathi?
- Comic book imagery as lazy storytelling
- Remake Heartbreakers with Janhvi Kapoor and Tabu, you cowards
- Darlings
- The Year of Shefali Shah
- “Goodbye Earl” by the Chicks
