We are back with another Spooktober episode. This time Arijit and I are joined by Ekata as well as The Queen is Dead podcast's Dhruv, Cris, and Amartya. We discuss three classic (Suspiria, Kuroneko, Texas Chainsaw Massacre) that we more or less love and three current year (The Shrouds, Sinners, Weapons) horror films. The conversation spanned for way too long, but it was fun having it nevertheless.

Hello everyone, we are here with another episode of the podcast where we talk about one of our film godfathers - David Lynch, who unfortunately passed away this year. Arijit and Tuhin are joined by Srijan and Dhruv (we really need his Zoom) to talk our favourite Lynch films, his impact on cinema and culture, and why we love his work. Loved this insightful and long discussion for a filmmaker we adore.
