Hi everyone,

We are back with the 12th episode of Talking Pictures, and we have another episode of Auteur Archive, in which we discuss the one and only Martin Scorsese, one of cinema's greatest artists.

We love his movies, his film appreciation, and his film archival work, so we talk about all of that. We discuss his early movies—Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, and Raging Bull—along with his cinephilia and how he in...

Hello hello to everyone who's listening in.

We are back after an unintended break of 7 months due to a lack of time to record together.

In this episode, we discuss the most anticipated movies from the recently concluded Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, and like always, we deviate and segue into other topics like how Corporate Greed affects cinema, Film Schools and their pros and cons, and geek about every single director whose fi...

We are back with the second part of our 2023 Roundup where Arijit, Tuhin, Soumyajit and Dhruv discuss some of our favourite films from the last year.

Tighten your seatbelts for a lot of off-topic Claire Denis discussion, and a debate on the ethics of telling indigenous stories.


Apologies in advance for the small disturbance/glitches you might encounter.

Hi, hello, everyone - our lives had us occupied but we could finally assemble to record another episode.

Dhruv and Soumya join us for this episode where we each discuss a favourite film from the past year. This is the first episode of a few of these (we hope to record and upload those soon) because 2023 was a great year for films and we loved many movies (we haven't even seen all the movies we wanted to).
