Obsession. Who hasn't seen it at this point? Curry Barker's $750K horror film has made over $400 million, minted a star in Inde Navarrette, and started a fight about what to even call this genre. This week we dig into the BTS trivia, the scenes we can't stop thinking about, and the Indian censor board's missing 36 seconds. Then we get into nice guy horror itself: the worst Pokémon evolution you've ever heard, Bollywood's hypermasculine inverse, and the Indian remake of Obsession that lives in our heads. (It involves IIT coaching.) Caution: ⚠️ Full spoilers for Obsession, light spoilers for Barbarian and Companion. Let us know what you thought of it in the comments!

Single screens were dying, the multiplex was being born, and Bollywood was throwing everything at the wall to see what stuck — from diaspora weepies to erotic thrillers to the first whispers of "good cinema."

Pierce Brosnan rescued James Bond from a six-year exile, made him bigger than he'd ever been, and then broke him so badly the franchise had to start over. On this episode we discuss his rather strange run as Bond from the mid-90s to the early 2000s, get into all four films — GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day — and dig into both the series' complicated past and its resurgence after his run as cinema's most famous spy.

In this episode of Two Please, we break down what makes a good war movie by looking at four key things: nuance, realism, emotional storytelling, and whether the film ultimately feels anti-war. From Saving Private Ryan and 1917 to Dunkirk, Letters from Iwo Jima, Jojo Rabbit, and Oppenheimer, we talk about the films that get it right, the ones that fall into propaganda, and why the best war movies stay with you long after the spectacle ends.

On this episode, Abhin, Rohit, and returning guest Falah break down the entire season: from the perfect casting to the moments that wrecked us, from a deep lore dive into the Blackfyre Rebellion to what Summerhall means for this story, and whether you should even bother with House of the Dragon at this point.

Why are we as a society so obsessed with Love Triangles? And why do we keep going back to them over and over again? Well, on this week's episode, we decided to tackle that very question while also discussing some of the best representations of the genre, some of the worst & some of the best 'so-bad its good' films, that Bollywood has to offer.

It’s Christmas Eve, so much like the rest of the world, we're rewatching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the movie that launched a generation’s favorite comfort-watch franchise. In this episode of the Two Please Podcast, Abhin and Rohit revisit the magic of the first film: what still makes it feel warm and timeless, the moments that shaped the wizarding world on screen, and why it’s become a yearly holiday tradition for so many fans. We talk iconic scenes like Diagon Alley, the wonder of discovering Hogwarts, the role of John Williams’ score, and the parts of the movie that hit differently when you rewatch it as an adult. Whether you call it Sorcerer’s Stone or Philosopher’s Stone, this is a cozy, funny, spoiler-filled deep dive into why the magic still works. 00:00 Welcome to Hogwarts 00:49 Why We’re Doing Harry Potter (Christmas Series) 02:12 Our Harry Potter Origin Stories 08:04 The Ultimate Comfort Movie 09:13 How This Movie Got Made 12:33 Dumbledore Casting Talk 14:41 Book vs Movie Cuts 15:40 Why the Chess Scene Rules 18:01 John Williams + The Zoo Scene 22:10 Diagon Alley 26:44 Train to Hogwarts 29:23 Quidditch Makes No Sense 33:22 Responsible Voldemort 33:52 Unicorn Blood Scene 38:25 Snape Misdirect + Quirrell 41:21 Why It Feels Like Christmas 42:58 House Points Rigged? 45:05 Ranking the HP Movies 45:28 Merry Christmas + Outro

In this episode, we break down why 1999 is often called the best year for movies. From huge box office hits like The Phantom Menace, Toy Story 2, and The Sixth Sense to era-defining cult classics and critical darlings like Fight Club, Magnolia, Office Space, The Blair Witch Project, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. We look at what made the late-90s Hollywood pipeline so bold, how these films shaped modern filmmaking, and whether any year since has matched the sheer variety, risk-taking, and cultural impact of movies released in 1999.

From Netflix’s birth to Titanic mania, its safe to say that 1997 was a stacked year, but not before a 26-year-old Paul Thomas Anderson dropped Boogie Nights, turning taboo into pure cinema. On this episode, we revisit the film’s intoxicating rise-and-fall arc, the found-family heartbeat, and the moment VHS killed the golden age of adult films. We also dig into the real-world inspirations (Dirk Diggler ⇄ John Holmes; the Wonderland murders), the deliriously tense Alfred Molina “Jessie’s Girl” sequence, some wild what-ifs—like Leo DiCaprio passing on the lead—and the legend behind Dirk's big reveal at the end of the film.

“I don’t believe in modern love,” David Bowie belted back in 1983—and it still feels oddly relevant today. This week on the Two Please Podcast, we stress-test that line by exploring modern romance through three films that, together, feel like its best on-screen representatives: Her (Love In The Time of AI), The Materialists (Love In The Time of Capitalism), and Gone Girl (Love In The Time of Self-Loathing). We've jokingly called it our “Before Trilogy of Modern Love,”- one story told across three very different movies. Expect takes on AI intimacy vs human messiness, pragmatism vs passion, why some marriages implode, timely headlines, and a few red flags.

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners (2025) isn’t just another horror movie — in fact, it might not even be horror at all. On this episode of The Two Please Podcast, we explore Sinners' haunting reflection of America’s real history and culture while shining a light on its scarier real-life inspirations.  This Sinners (2025) review and breakdown, discusses: Cultural theft — how Elvis and others “fed” off Black music without giving back. Vampires as metaphor — not just monsters, but symbols of exploitation and power. Racism and survival — the forces that drive the film’s narrative. & Why Sinners isn’t really horror — and why that makes it even scarier. If you’ve seen Sinners, you’ll never look at vampires or Elvis Presley the same way again.  For more conversations like this, subscribe to The Two Please Podcast wherever you listen.
