We discuss LGBT+ films with Chai Me a River host Shane Lamba (@shanelamba21 on Instagram, @punjabipapii21 on TikTok), and where we want to see our representation in films going forward.

Chris and Rico discuss our favorite Star Wars films and the enduring legacy and cultural phenomenon of the iconic franchise.

In a shorter episode, I make my plea to stop using that Studio Ghibli filter. Then I talk about some of my favorite first-time viewings, books, TV shows, and video games.

I discuss my favorite films of 2024, as well as the future of the Podcast. Exciting things are coming!

After a long hiatus, I'm back to offer a pep talk to my listeners (and honestly, also to myself) about events that happened over the last couple months. I do get candid, political, and somewhat vulnerable this time around, So bear with me on that,

But afterwards, I talk about films I've seen over the past month like Emilia Perez, Juror #2, Quiz Lady, A Time to Love and a Time to Die, and more. I also offer Book, TV, Video Game, and Podcast recommendations, and there are more of those to come on future episodes!

A look back at some of our favorite films of 2023!

I discuss what I watched last month, what I'm reading, what I'm listening to, and events I've attended, then I briefly discuss the importance of community and the community I hope to build based off our shared love of movies and commitment to compassion and empathy.

*This is my first mini-episode in a while, and the format might still need a few tweaks.

Special Guest Krista Roman (@kristaaaak on Instagram) and I discuss some of our favorite and recent Movie Musicals, and the weird trend of hiding the fact that movies are Musicals.
