123 - Scary Movie & Maa Behen (Can we actually do better?)

In episode 123, we are discussing the new Scary Movie (2026) by the Wayans Brothers and Maa Behen starring Madhuri Dixit. Scary Movie is back 13 years later, and with horror doing so well in cinemas, it had a great opportunity that it really does not live up to. On the other hand, Maa Behen provides a refreshing comedy in a Bollywood that feels stale. 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP] Scary Movie⁠| Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fZ58S-7QP0]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Maa Behen⁠| Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYbLpsEhcfA]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast⁠ [https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9]

122 - Backrooms & The Moment (Gen Z taking the stage)

Apologies for the bad audio :(. In this episode, we are discussing A24's new horror film, directed by Kane Parsons, Backrooms and Charlie XCX's mockumentary, The Moment. 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP] ⁠⁠Backrooms| Official Trailer [https://youtu.be/0HjdiohVOik]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠The Moment | Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxqhi7Sgvu8&pp=ygUVdGhlIG1vbWVudCBjaGFybGkgeGN4]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast⁠ [https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9]

121 - Finding Emily & The Mandalorian and Grogu (Flawed Fun)

Two films which are fun to watch despite their flaws. The Mandalorian and Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau and Finding Emily, directed by Alicia MacDonald. With Finding Emily powered by Spike Fearn's performance and The Mandalorian and Grogu held through its puppetry and action sequences, both are competently made but do not offer much more. 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP] ⁠⁠Finding Emily| Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc2UjmPzN8c]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠The Mandalorian and Grogu | Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHWlvwu8t1w&pp=ygUhdGhlIG1hbmRhbG9yaWFuIGFuZCBncm9ndSB0cmFpbGVy]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast [https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9]

120 - Obsession & The Little Sister (Incredible performances by women for women)

In this episode, we discuss the new horror film by Curry Barker, Obsession and the Queer Palm winner from last year My Little Sister. Both films are centred around two fantastic performances by the female lead and are centred around female experiences (although on very different ends). 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP] ⁠Obsession| Official Trailer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaaDkbG3I7g] ⁠⁠The Little Sister | Official Trailer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHntkAmfiNs] ⁠📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast [https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9]

119 - Mother Mary & The Sheep Detectives (Can't help but love them)

Mother Mary, directed by David Lowery and starring Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer, and Jessica Brown Findlay, might have one of the most unhinged plots of the year. Despite the performances and chemistry between the cast, the film is weirdly compelling and endlessly entertaining. Meanwhile, The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman and Emma Thompson, may not reinvent the murder-mystery wheel. Still, its cosy atmosphere and sharp execution make it impossible not to fall in love with it. 🎬 Watch the trailer:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=the+devil+wears+prada+2+trailer&&mid=32D17E6A621435F5D83632D17E6A621435F5D836&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUC2-BeLxzUBSs0uSrmzWhJuQ&FORM=VCGVRP] Mother Mary| Official Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE3KU_YT3_c&t=1s]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKiFFWZJRI&msockid=cb2dfb39335c11f1b23301c55b146b96]⁠⁠⁠ ⁠The Sheep Detectives | Official Trailer⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk&pp=ygUcdGhlIHNoZWVwIGRldGVjdGl2ZXMgdHJhaWxlcg%3D%3D]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKiFFWZJRI&msockid=cb2dfb39335c11f1b23301c55b146b96]⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow & listen: linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast [https://linktr.ee/moviemasalapodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a21ddb76-4044-4832-bb3d-b8e54caf9fd9]
