 Yeah, yeah, boos. Follywood boo, lickers real good. Follywood boo, lickers real good. Follywood, yeah. Follywood boo, lickers real good. Make that boop. Still the best intro ever. Gets me hyped every time. Gets me chubbed. That's what we're here for. Welcome to the first ever edition of this podcast. Not to be confused with a film being made where they're auditioning dolphins. That would be a podcast as well. I regret this decision immediately. Yep. But yes, so I wanted to start this illustrious podcast that I'm calling the Bollywood boot lickers podcast. I like it. But do not be confused. We are not only talking about Bollywood. Yeah, that's just for the name because it's a catchy, fun name. And you can say it's the BBP. Yes. Yeah, sure, yeah. The BBP. The BBP. Welcome to the BBP. Different than the PPV. It's true, or a BBP. Yes, yes. But I wanted to start this. A lot of people have requested us to kind of just talk about. Talk about crap. Different things. So we're going to have a lot of just random conversations, fun little games. We're going to talk about the latest news in all the industries. Yes. That stuff we talk about in minute detail in some intros or stuff like that. And above all, and most important for all of you probably, is the proper care of and sustainability and health care of the taint. Yes. But I need to say for legal reasons, talk to your doctor. Thank you. Yeah. That's the disclaimer. But yeah, so I want to, so if you have any ideas for different things we could talk about. Yeah, what do you want us to talk about? We want us to talk about all this kind of stuff you can let us know in the comments. More fodder for you to hate us. Yes. But also, fodder is a good word. In the future, this is kind of a test run this first episode is going to be. But I want to have. Is it testicle? Yes. I want to have more, maybe some guests, particularly Indians or people in the industry. Or someone with the last name guest. So like if, or if there's people that we've talked to in the past that are our dose, that maybe we didn't need to have another interview, but we could have them on a podcast, have an informal conversation with about different things. Yes. Beardahs, Cooperate, Mohini Day, Mohini Day. Or anyone who happens to be here. Yes. In LA at the time. Yes. Priyanka, Rithik, Alia, any of you. Some of those might need to exclude anyone. Anurag would do it. Yes. He would absolutely do it. He absolutely would do it. You'd have to come all the way over to Wenetka, California. Some call it the Vegas of the Valley. It's true because what happens in Wenetka stays in Wenetka. But we're going to talk about different stupid stuff. But I'd like to have, like if there's people, or if there's just stupid babies sometimes. Like if like they could, if they're fans of the Tamil industry, Telugu industry, if we speak it, we could talk to them about it. They could inform us. Yeah. We'll just talk about idiotic things. Maybe we can have some guest songs that have never seen an Indian film before. And we could just talk to them about that and then other stuff as well. We should get an 888 number. It's going to be very informal. Just something to talk a little more. Maybe we could do these weekly. I don't know. You guys can let us know what you want. Like I said, this is more of a trial run. Maybe I'll cut some of it because I also want to cut some of these little clips up. Right. Little funny things. Maybe put them on Tickety Talks, which I know only if you're in America. Well, for now. We'll see. That you have. Might have to be an Instagram reel. Maybe I'll put them on YouTube shorts. I don't know. But the first thing I actually know is our Instagram. We don't do it. We just have our personal Instagram. No. Personal Instagram is the fan page. But no, we don't have a OSR. If anybody needs to contact us, just contact me. Yeah. Contact Rick. But the first thing I actually wanted to talk to you on this illustrious Bollywood Bootlegger's podcast. Yes. Is actually something that is Bollywood. Maybe you've heard it. I hope not. They've announced something for War II. I know what it is. Outside of the director. I know what it is. Ah! I saw it today because I follow him on Instagram. I assumed you'd saw it. Yes. But the news came out, obviously, that a illustrious superstar from the Telugu industry. From an Oscar-winning Telugu film. Yes. Is joining War II in some fashion. I hope it's more of the villain role. Me too. I think that would be great. Please. But Junior NTR has joined War II. Yes. If you haven't seen our review of War, please go watch that. We enjoyed the action of War. A lot. We thought it was a fun, mindless action film. And the trailer was the menu that served up what we were expecting. Yes, exactly. But I think if you add an actor, which I believe would be a step up from, like, if you had Tiger, obviously, even though Tiger's great. But you're stepping up a notch in terms of acting, performance in Junior NTR. But I don't expect an Oscar film at all from War II. That's not what I'm expecting. And I'm not expecting R.R.R. But the thing I'm really excited about is if we get a dance off between Rithik Roshan and Junior NTR. Come on. Orgasming in the street will happen. It's true. It will. Like, that would be incredible. That's a good orgasm. Do you see Cooper's thing about huggazms? She posted about huggazms, and she said, what would be a good orgasm? I said walkgazms. That would be just entertaining to watch people having orgasms just because they're walking. Well, people have walking farts, so. Well, I have sitting farts. Old grandma. Anyways, but no, obviously we saw Rithik and Tiger dance in War I. Yeah, we knew that was gonna be amazing. Oh. But one, the big pan India thing going on now. Yeah. Bring on a man like Rithik and then bring on somebody in Junior NTR. You're gonna get a legit, because I think the term pan India gets thrown out all the time. Oh, we're making a pan out. Sure you are. Sure you are. I agree. And for clarification, and this is an important clarification, it wasn't his Instagram where I saw it. What'd you say? Variety. And that's an important designation because it shows you how consistently the trades here are talking about Indian cinema and stars. Every day there's a new story in Variety that is a main article story about something going on, whether it was the deal that Amazon just made with India, whether it was Priyanka's debut of Citadel, this story, Salman Khan's new film. Every day there's something being talked about in the trades in Variety, which is the place everyone in the industry goes to here in Hollywood to find out what's going on. Yeah, but I think that's gonna be so, it's obviously huge news obviously right now that he's joined on. And obviously it's the director of Brahmastra. And he also announced obviously the Brahmastra two and three. Right. Big news is one of those coming out in 10 years or something. Yeah, three or four years. No, three or four years, which makes sense when you consider the stars and their schedules. Then you know, let's, but luckily. Attack that on the calendar. They're filming it at the same time. Yeah. As you should, if you know you're gonna do that. If you know you're making three films, might as well always make them. Easier for everybody. At one time. One, you don't have long waits in between to lose hype. No. I mean I guess it didn't affect Avatar at all. No, not at all. And it gives all of your post-production people so much time on the third installment to. But you rise as much time. But you really hope the next Avatar is not gonna take 10 years. It shouldn't, right? It's not going to. No, I suspect the next Avatar is gonna come out Christmas of 2024. It's gotta take a minimum of two years to just be effects it. Yeah, and they've been working, they've been working on all of them at the same time. So it would not, yeah, it would not surprise me if they're gonna be spaced out every two to three years. So, but yeah, this is a big. It's a big deal. And because this kind of thing, I won't think would have been as readily accepted by producers, investors and studio heads and audiences five, six years ago, but because RRR was such a huge success, there's come, thankfully, and OTT has done this too. There's coming this more broader understanding and appreciation for the fact that Indian cinema is Indian cinema and that each of the India industries has their own fingerprint, yet they are all India. And so you should have these, for lack of a better term, crossover stars working together from the different industries more often and more commercially. And I love that NTR is doing that. Is there, slightly off topic, not really, in Citadel, are there other Indian actors? I don't know, I haven't looked at the cast. You said she's gonna be in India though, right? Her character story, my understanding is that, and it wouldn't surprise me if Tucci's character is Italy because Tucci is from Italy and he speaks fluent Italian. So my suspicion is the Italy spot is gonna be Tucci's backstory and that India is gonna be Priyanka's backstory. Thanks, Captain Obvious. I'm hoping she brings in her friends. Oh, I would hope so. And same for Italy. I would really hope that they bring in some folks that are really well-known in Italy. To bring exposure to them. They've done that with the, they did that with White Lotus and it'll be interesting to see what they do with season three in Thailand because they did that with Italy and Hawaii. Not a huge amount of it. I'm looking at the cast for Citadel right now. I don't know if they'll announce it though. They might keep things very hush-hush. My hope is that she, while filming in India, if they have something in India like that, that she casted actors in India, she would understand that more than others. Absolutely. Cannot be like, I noticed the Hollywood production when we're gonna hire Indian actors out of Hollywood. No, go to India. Hide the actors there. I mean, they might, if it's a SAG thing, which it probably is, they might run into issues but there's ways around that. Yeah, none of the good, the easiest way around, there's the World Rule One, I don't know if that's exact, but it's the rule that allows you to work with people of as long as they don't predominantly work in SAG, franchised kinds of productions, it gives permission. You have to have that with, it's Rule One. It's a really simple thing that production just has to submit to Screen Actors Guild and says, hey, we intend on doing that and they may have to do some disclaimers to that because for the most part what you have to do, though, is you have to prove to SAG that you're not going to be marketing the film in SAG industries, which this bad boy's going, but I promise you, it's the Russo brothers, they're on top of it. Yeah. But yeah, it's just something bringing up obviously the fact that Pan India, hopefully there's a Pan world style stuff coming. So I didn't see anything in the cast and I'm looking at the rest of the creative team. Lots of exec producers and consulting producers, but there aren't any names that I necessarily recognize off the top of my head other than, and that's episode one. Let me see who's in the cast. That's all for episode one. I think that's the only cast listing they have right now. Let me look at the episodes. I don't know. Episodes. I just, I would hope, man, I don't know anything about it. I don't know if I want to look. They've got the first seven episodes here, but I don't know that I want to see who's in it until we actually, do I dare jump in? No, don't do it. I was just curious, you know, because I think, you know, she, like I said, and it was better than anyone, there's talent in India that needs to be exposed to the world. Sure does. And so I think I would hope she would, if there's a role that obviously, you don't just want to have whomever, right? Even if it's Farhan or something like that, come on for a little role or something like that. Even still, I would like him to. There's a lot riding on Citadel because Citadel is a 200 million plus. It's Amazon, right? Yeah. Amazon did it. I mean, they've put as much money into that as they've, they have the Lord of the Rings. They put a billion into Lord of the Rings. Well, now they're going into season two, but I mean, when it first started, it was comp, it's a comparable budget. I never finished that. Yeah. Did you? No. Yeah. It, it, it lost me. Yeah. Which is, which was sad. Yeah. Maybe season two will be good. Yeah. For, for as, I also got, got lost with dragons, but I didn't get lost as much at all as I did with, We differ on that opinion. Yeah. I love Tales of the Dragons. You like watching people just stare at each other? Yeah, if they're hot. Speaking of hot people, is another thing I want to bring people. So just like, obviously that cultural thing that happened, a lot of people calling it the Met Gala. In Mumbai? Yeah, the Met Gala. Of, of India, right? Yeah. Some people calling it that. And so people want us to go over some of their looks that, that. Cool. And we do this at the Oscars. Obviously people come on. Red carpets. Beautiful. Yep. Beautiful or not so beautiful. We're not so beautiful. Looks. And so, so people want us to, cause I haven't really seen outside of some pictures that somebody posted on. So would this be, cause there's a big difference between Instagram, the Met Gala and the Oscars. Met Gala is gonna be a cornucopia of artistic expression. Might be a little bit. All bets are off. Might be a little bit of both. Oscars is far more refined. My bet is. Stylistically. It's more in between, but also more celebrating of Indian culture. Okay. Then. And not necessarily so. Cause the Met Gala is a fashion show. I don't know what the hell Hollywood was wearing. Didn't Gaga wear a meat suit to the Met Gala? Or is it Gala or Gala? It's Gula. Oh. Gula. It's off to J. The Met Gula. Oh, sorry. That's where they train players for the New York Mets. But anyway. So it's just a sight that had celebrity looks. So this looks like Varun and. Freshly waxed. That is Varun, right? I thought so. Yeah. Is it not? But I'm not who she is. It's a small, it's not thumbnail, but. Yeah. I apologize for it. It's not. It doesn't tell me. There's Karen Johart. Karen Johart. That's a lovely combo. I don't know who that is. Interesting purse to go with that. I don't know why my screen's doing. Oh, neither. That weird thing. Yeah. See, a lot of the textiles on it are very Indian. Like bold and beautiful. And you'd see a lot more of what's on Karen Johart more on a sorry, like a really expensive beautiful saying. She looks, yeah. You're wearing like a. She's got wings. A feather cape or something like that. That is. I like it. I don't like her purse. Yeah. The purse is an odd. It's throwing me off. It's a little, the purse is interesting, but it's a little bit odd. Yeah. Strange. Very simple look there. Who's that? I know him. Yeah. That's. Is that Varun? Doug Gonnett. I apologize. Anyways. Yeah. He's just wearing a suit and a shirt. Sorry. He looks nice. I apologize. Oh. Is that her daughter? I don't know because I don't know that I've ever seen her daughter. She's gorgeous. The bang, it's just shawaria bangs going on there. Sure enough. She definitely has the cheek bones of a shawaria looks regal right here. Yeah. She looks like she could be a queen and like a PS2 or something. Yeah. That's really beautiful. Very beautiful and elegant look right there. I don't know who that is. I don't either. Whoa. I love it. That looks like your mom. Exactly. That is my mom's hair right there. I apologize for not knowing you. It doesn't have a like. There's no names on the bottom. I apologize. His mom has hair similar to that. She doesn't go full hot pink but she has a ton of pink highlights in that hair. Yeah. Tons. She changes it all the time though. Yeah. I'm not sure who these other people are. Oh. Oh. That was Penelope Cruz is who that was. Is it? Yeah. Why isn't she wearing any Indian stuff? Oh, because she's. There we go. Because she's not Indian. Look at that. All Priyanka looks, that's gorgeous. And this is. I love the see through legs. I guess Capes was the theme of the night maybe? Apparently. Yeah, there was something about, that's the second to third one we've seen like that. But she was wearing a different outfit when she was getting out of the. Yes. That's why I don't remember the see through leg thing. Priyanka having multiple looks unheard of. Crazy. She looks great though. Wonderful. I like it a lot. Nick. Nick, is he wearing? Very simple. Just all black. And by the way, I've heard her talk about this. She's been shamed for the way she looks. What? Yo. For what? My wife can tell you, we point this out all the time. Curvy women are the most beautiful, wonderful. Your curves look voluptuously wonderful, Priyanka. Don't let anybody lie to you. And I'm sure your husband's your number one fan. So. Nick's also like, I love her voluptuous curves. Yeah, I love those guys. Yeah. I just, I'm root for them. Hey. That's a handsome looking couple. Even more. This is very, it's almost like, it seems like almost a, hers is a little more subtle, but like his like wedding outfit. For Ranveer, that's pretty damn tame. It is. Right? Looking dapper with the white boots. She's wearing a pantsuit with a cape. What's the theme capes? There may have been a cape theme, but that's looking pretty, both of you looking pretty darn beautiful. If the theme was capes, why isn't Ranveer wearing a cape? It was just for the ladies to be caped. Why? You caped, I promise you. Are you capes shaming my dudes? If my wife was wearing a cape at a red carpet event. I would also wear a cape. I would not be wearing a cape unless she said, I want us to be duoed with the cape look. I would let her. I don the cape. I do love the pantsuit here. I do too. Of, I mean. That's very cool. You'd be hard pressed to find something that Pika doesn't look amazing in. Yeah. She's a gorgeous woman. That's very nice. Everything looks so elegant. Yeah. That's definitely on the elegant side. Right? Oh. Is that safe? Yeah. We got safe and his sister. Trina. No, sorry, not his. Cut that clip. It's going on the internet. I don't know what my brain told me. Yeah. She's his sister. Oh yeah. If she's a sister, they're doing something very illegal. Keeping his sister safe. You know what I mean? They look gorgeous and regal. Again, yeah. You think they have any royal in their sibling blood. There may be some in his sister. There's royal in her, am I right? Hey! Cause he's got royal blood. And anyway, very regal as well. Yeah. So we're going to Pika and Ranveer there. I like the pocket handkerchief he's got going there. Oh, that's great. I love fricking safes looking great with those shoes. Yeah. Oh, he's wearing the. Very nice. He's wearing what I call the politician suit of India. Do we have a shot of her facing forward so we can see the full from the front? No. Aw, that's a shame. It's just from the side cause her mid-drift, it looks like it's really pretty. Your mid-drift is pretty. That's true. That's incorrect actually. I've seen it. Where's Reika? Who is this? Who is this? I don't know. I just want to see. Free this? Reika. They walked in with Charisma Kapoor who was in a brown sari paired with sheer black. That's a gorgeous sari. Very pretty. Wow. Yeah, that's gorgeous. Who's this? Alia. Vidya. Vidya. So she's wearing something different. Yep. There's no capage. No, that's a cape. I don't know. Or is it a sari? I think that's just part of a dress, a gown. Everything's very embroidered. And there's a see-through trend as well for a lot of it. See, both of them have see-through in the arms. Hashtag free the nipple, am I right? Absolutely. Not them, just see-through things in general. You can see nipples. Okay, so we're Silver Sorry by Vishali S. I love the texture on the sari. So it is a sari. Beautiful earrings. It's very regal. Very lovely. So yeah. Everybody's looking so classy. My assumption is that they wanted to highlight. Oh, this was great. Salman took a picture of Shavrakhan's children, I believe. Oh, fun fact. That... It's our stupidity, right? That Kieran... What did we do? That Kieran Johar, when he was shown around his house and talking about the designer. And we were like, and she was like, I love designing for Kieran Johar. And I was like, she also loves his money, right? Right. What happened? That was Shavrakhan's wife. She doesn't need the money. She doesn't need it. So SRK is the designer. SRK's wife is the designer. I thought he said Goldi Han, which I know says somebody different. But I think it's Goldi Han. Newsflash, Shavrakhan marries Goldi Han. She changes her last name to Khan, which makes her Goldi Khan. So yeah, Salman, I think... What does that have to do with Salman by? Oh, he's with SRK's kids. And I think that's her. I think that's her. I've only seen her once in my life to my recollection. It was the Letterman interview of SRK when he took home and I've been with them. So that's SRK's wife. Got it. Goree Khan. Goree Khan. Goree Khan, I knew that was her name. Which I thought was Goldi Han. God. And I was like, I did not know they were married. That's weird. I thought she was married to Kurt Russell. Yeah, not anymore. Oh, wow. It's a shame. It is a shame. But yeah, so he took a picture. That was a big thing on the internet. Cool. That is a sexy show. He looks great there, by the way. He does. I love the deep V. I wish the shirt was a little more see through so we could get some salami in there. What's going on with the pants? It looks like there's a pretty cool... What? They look dark, Rick. What are you talking about? Oh, the stripes on the jacket! Yeah, see? That's nice. Oh, that's a great look. That's a great look. That's a good look and look there. Sir. He's gorgeous. Very nice. Absolutely gorgeous. Sorry, my wife can't be here to see that. Talking desi on another level. Son of a poor. Son of a poor arrives in contemporary, say that. Anakali suit. Anakali suit. That beautiful. Very Indian regal. Right there. Very regal and that is a perfectly fitted top around her. That's gorgeous. So one thing I... Oh, that's beautiful. So they're obviously elevating Indian. And it's obviously, as you showed, if you're at the Indian Cultural Center, right? Classy. Classy. One thing I would love to see more of is what SS Rajamuli and Junya and Tiara and Ramcharan did at the Oscars, right? They brought classiness, but also they weaved Western and Indian into one. And they were some of the best looking people at the Oscars, especially male. I bet if we got some behind the scenes vids that we got with them, we would find some of that interweaving more subtly than we even know. Ooh, whoa. There we go. Capage. Miss... Say that? This vaccine, as they call businesswoman Natasha Punawala. I'm guessing businesswoman Natasha Punawala was involved with creating some new... Oh, she was the one that was with Karen Johar. I remember... Got it, the purse. But is she called... My only guess would be Mrs. Vaccine is a businesswoman who invested in and helped develop the COVID vaccine in India. Her gown, look at that. All the embroidery. But then obviously with Pranka and Nick, looks great. That's a heck of a cape there. Wow. Ranveer was probably very jealous. Oh, to see it from the back. Wow. Look how gorgeous the back of the actual center is. Yeah. Oh, wow. Ashwari looks amazing. Who's this? So you want a Carly Clues? Supermodel. I don't know who you are. You look nice. Nice. All right. Americans who want a Gigi Hadji. Gigi Hadji. Obviously, she made her appearance. That's a different thing than she was wearing. I don't remember her wearing that when they picked her up. Neither do I. Another American. Emma Chamberlain, or Chamberlain. Yeah, that's Chamberlain. Wow. It looks like a scaly... Yeah, I'm not a fan. She looks like a lizard. It's okay. I like it. Hey! Shahid. Shahid. Shahid Kapoor. Shahid Kapoor. That looks shimmery. It does. Looks great. Yeah. I like it. Hers is very elegant. Creedie. Creedie. Ooh. That's a cool red. She went a different route than everybody else. Sure did. And I like the red purse. This is something that would be worn on a... Are those suede boots? On a Hollywood red carpet. With a leg spread. Looking strong. Yeah, she didn't go the... At least there's a cape for sure. So obviously, if you guys know what the theme was, I'm assuming it's a cape. I'm betting there was an encouragement to cape yourself. But this is something like any Hollywood actress would wear on a red carpet. Yeah, for sure. Very nice. It looks great. Very pretty. It was truly a glam event. Much like Indian Metga. Oh, yeah, yeah. Ah. Oh, was that it? Oh, I guess it's... We didn't talk about Zendaya. And do they have a... I want to talk about Zendaya. Oh, yeah. Because she had... Remember seeing it. Right. It was beautiful. I love that, sorry. And then Gigi Hajji. This is the one I saw of Gigi. That's what we saw her in. And loved it. I wish, and I understand why he wouldn't. Because it's just for white people. It's a... You know you're going to be trashed by other white people that don't understand why he didn't wear more Indian garb? Yeah, especially if you're British. Yeah. I still would have loved it, like if he... A touch? Yeah, but I understand it. It's... Because I sent this to my film club. So I was like, Zendaya wearing it. Because I thought she looked great. I was like, so is this culture appropriation or does she look fire? And they said, well, that depends on if you ask white people. If you ask white people, it's culture appropriation. If you ask the actual culture it's coming from, especially the Indian culture. They love sharing and... Obviously there's a fine line of... If you aren't doing it for... When people go to music concerts and they wear Native American headdresses, that is appropriation. Because you are not appreciating their culture. You're using it and almost mocking at times of stuff like that. But if you go into Mexican culture, if you go to Indian culture, Chinese culture, a lot of them will encourage you to... Absolutely. It always goes back to the why. It always goes back to the why. For example, when they wanted to see us dress in Indian clothing, it wasn't because they were... They loved seeing that. And I've never been accused once of my tattoo being an Indian culture. You know what I mean? Because they know the heart behind why... It's always the why. I think it was... I mean, I don't know what kind of a connection he may or may not have with India. But my suspicion is he wanted to err on the side of respect and not be misinterpreted. I saw one interview, he's like, I don't know a lot about Indian fashion, Indian culture, Indian like that. I love him, he's a... I've never met him. All I've ever heard about Tom Holland is... He seems like a sweetheart. He's a sweetheart of a guy. So... Yeah, everybody looked really classy. Yeah. And do they have designers, so for example, we don't just have on the red carpet the looks and they're talked about, but it's not what are you wearing, it's who are you wearing? Yes. Well, I assume it's the same in India. Yeah, a lot of them said they were wearing this person's... I was very famous designers in India. I'm assuming there's gonna be Indian designers, not just the standard international... They're still there. There's famous Indian designers that do sorry's and do kirk does. I'm really glad Hugh Grant wasn't there because he would have been a real drag. Did you see him on the red carpet at the Oscars? You didn't. He was a dick. Was he? He was a dick. He was an asshole to... I forgot her name, but she was doing her best to be genuine and kind and ask him some questions and he just was... He was dick. Really? Yeah, you should see it. It's a short clip of Hugh Grant's... He's very British. But it wasn't British dry humor. It was, for whatever reason, he didn't wanna be there. He didn't like her. He didn't wanna answer questions that he thought were stupid that were not stupid. They were basic to... For example, when she said, so who are you wearing? I don't know, it's a suit. He was an asshole. You should see it. I do love a good asshole. Yeah. Ew. Yeah, so that was great. Oh, this is... Fun little game I wanted to play with you. Ready? Strip poker? Yes, exactly. Perfect. So I've seen this little clip on TikTok before, not with Indian stuff at all, but it's a fun little game. I'm gonna give you five things. I need you to rank them without knowing what's coming next. Okay. Do you understand what I'm saying? I think I do. So you rank them on a scale of one to five. One to five? One of the best five being the worst. So let's say I gave you Indian food or something like that and I said dosa. You have to put it in a place right now. Got it, irrespective of what me becoming next. Yes. So if I selected that as my number one, I'm stuck. Duck, okay. So it's a stupid game, but it's fun. All right. And so like, because you could like, oh, I'm gonna do strategically and then it ends up failing. Got it. Okay, so we could do a couple of these, but I thought it'd be a lot of fun. Rank these Hindi actors. Okay. Hindi, without knowing who's coming next. That's not fair. I know, but it's fun. That's inappropriate. But we can give it a shot and so you can let me know what you think. Ready? Yeah. Okay, so the first Hindi actor I'm gonna give you is Shahid Kapoor. Planet safe, three. Ooh, okay. Give you three, right? Yeah, that's so he's in the number three slot. Number three slot. Renveer Singh. Damn. I, based on this and based on the film Header, I have to, I have to today on this day put Renveer at four. So Shahid Kapoor? Shahid gets a slight edge because of Header. They're right there for me really. They really are as far as their skill is. I think they're both very, very good actors. But yeah, I have to put Renveer at four. Okay. Saif Ali Khan. Based on what I've seen, he would be of those, he'd be at five. Based on what I've seen. So you have. It would be Shahid, Renveer, safe. Okay. Shahrukh Khan. Where are you gonna play some? Was there a six? Okay, I'm going all the way over to the memories I have of him and his best thespianatic performances. I have no other choice but to put him at, you're gonna say somebody, this is not fair. Go ahead, because now you're gonna say somebody. You didn't tell me where you put him. Where else can I put him? One or two. You're gonna put him at two. I can't put him at number one. Okay. There's too many other people I would put it at number one up ahead of him. No, it could be really mean to you. I'm waiting. I'm waiting for you to be really mean. But I'm not. Because I have no choice. I have to go into the slime. But I'm not. I had five picked out before. And this, I had. So give me, give me taboo. Give me ear fun. No, this is all male. Give me erotica. This is all male. Okay, it's all male. Give me nisir, give me. I was, I had ear fun. Great. You would have been my number one anyway. I had picked five so I could be fair already before this. Okay. Well, that's good to know. That you weren't just improvising. I was hoping you were gonna put another one at top and then the ear fun was gonna be like five. There was no, as much as I like those guys, thespianatically, there would be, there'd be four or five male actors that would vie for my number one slot and without question, ear funs. Okay. But now, so your list is, shawarcon. No, no, no. Ear fun, shawarcon, Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Singh, and Saif Ali Khan. Not terrible. It's not terrible. It's not terrible actually. Okay, so should I give you the ladies? You can, yeah. All right, I'll give you the ladies. I'm gonna select them right here and now so that you know I'm not just screwing with you. I'm just gonna pick three, okay? Okay. Okay. Rank one, two, five. Hindi act. Hindi? Is there, let me make sure. Yeah, no, these are all Hindi. Okay. Topsy-Penu. Okay. Three. Okay, nice safe choice for Topsy. Kajal. I love Kajal. But if the, Do you love her more than Topsy-Penu? Hold on, is this favorites or is this? These are your favorites, just like you did with me. List them in ranking that you considered. You listed it as acting, did you not? This is acting, yeah, the best actors. But favorite or best? Different. So I did them, I ranked them as in my opinion, artistically most excellent. Most excellent artists. Okay, all right, thank you. Thespians, I was going for, not my personal favorites, the ones that I felt were the best Thespians. If they're doing it that way, then she would be a five. You would put Kajal at five. Five if we're doing it that way, if it's favorite, she would be the higher. Okay, nope. I love Kajal. Got it. Taboo. One, that's easy. Aliyah. Two, don't you do it? You know she was gonna be on the list. Yeah, I know. I should have known and foreseen that I was, of course, going to include Radhika Opte, but you've put Radhika at number four. You claim to love her, and you've put her behind Topsy Panu, Aliyah Bhatt. Oh, my word. And Taboo, I've just, wow, wow. She's never gonna come on and have an interview now. Yeah, I'm so sad. My goodness. I feel icky. I feel icky. I wanna do it again. Yeah. Sex Positions. Yes, great. Rank these Shahrukh Khan movies without knowing what's coming next. Okay, great, ready? This is easy. This is easy, kids. Easy, throw it my way. DDLJ. Where are you putting DDLJ? These are my favorites. Not what I think are artistically the best, my favorites. Yes. Okay. Based on what I think you're going to be telling me and the films that are my favorites of his, I've just gotta be safe because there's a couple more that would be my personal favorites. I'm gonna comfortably, safely. But what do I leave the door open to that way if I do that? The one I would watch over and over and over again. Man, because I would watch DDLJ over and over and over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two. Ooh, that's high. That's high. That's high. I had to do that. Let's high. Cooch, cooch, what's that? Four. Okay. DDLJ two. Cooch, cooch, what's that? I have four. Swadesh. I really would, while Swadesh is in my opinion artistically superior to DDLJ. Yes. Now, I would far more often watch DDLJ than I would Swadesh because Swadesh hits you in the feels pretty hard there. And it's, so I would put Swadesh at number three. Whoa. Now I've only got a one out of five left. DDLJ. DDLJ is two. Swadesh. Swadesh is three. Cooch, cooch, what's that? Woo. Don two. Damn, that's not what I thought you were gonna say. Because, damn. I gotta put it at five, although, had I known that first, that would have been much higher than I thought. That's almost the game is. Oh. Damn it. What are you gonna say now, you piece of crap? I've been waiting for the one that you know I'm waiting for. K3G. You bastard. Rick's favorite is K3G. Why was my name as Khan? Not in the category. K3G, you know how I feel about that movie. DDLJ, you didn't even swa-dash after K3G and DDLJ. Oh man, that's a hot take there, Rick. That is a hot take. Terrible. Okay, should I do Rithic for you? Do we have enough Rithic films? Yeah, we got enough Rithic films. Okay, okay. Yeah, we know. Let's do it. There's more I could've chosen, but here we go. You ready? Okay. Gersnatch. Five, I'm gonna do them fast. War. Four. Super 30. Three. Debra. One. Joda Akbar. Ha ha ha, you like Debra more than Joda Akbar. You're a doof. If I would've just went where I was going. I know, you could've just done it. I thought you were going to. It would've worked out perfectly. It would've worked out great. Yeah, so. That's a lot of fun. I like that. This is another little stupid game. Now, I need you to guess the top five. Top five. Indian films of all time. The top five. Grossing. Box office? Box office. World wide box office. Indian. Yes. Indian. All industries. But worldwide collection. Okay. So, I have the top five here. This is not his opinion. This is just India only. So, obviously Bahubali and KGF are not included. Not even their Hindi dubbed ones. So this is just Hindi. Hindi films. Oh, that's why I was saying India. India. Indian film is what I was saying. But yes. Hindi. Yes. I understand what you're saying. So just Hindi language. Hindi language film. Because there's a couple that are taken out of the running here. Yes. Okay. But I thought that would be easier. You know Bahubali, you know KGF. RR. Yeah. Well, I don't think that's in the top five. Really? Yeah, I don't think it is. Wow. That could be wrong. But anyways, this is just Hindi. Top five. Guess the top five Hindi films. Do I have to guess them in order or just guess any of the top five? I will tell you what position they are. So you can know. Reverse cowgirl. Is that one of the positions? Yes. Great. Top five Hindi, DDLJ. No. How? It's been in theaters for 30 frickin' years. I'm sorry. So am I. Ha ha ha ha. Didn't Patan get in there? Yeah. It's two. I thought so. Patan is two. Yeah. Okay, so Patan is in there. D.D.O.J. DDLJ was. Also, if this list is wrong, I'm looking on the IMDB Hindi. Brahmastra. Brahmastra? No. Oh, it didn't make the top five yet? Oh, I thought it did better than that. It's 12. It's not even in the top 10? Nope, it's 12 right now. Wow. There's an actor that has a lot in the top five. I thought it was the same actor in DDLJ. Nope. That's not that actor? Mm-hmm. There's another actor besides SRK that are in the top five biggest grossing Hindi films of all time. Okay, so I'm gonna go to, did Lagann do Great Box Office? It might have, but it's not on the list. Three idiots? No. Wow. Okay. Let's go all the way back to... The oldest one is 2014. Well, that took that out of me. Wow, this is surprising already. The oldest one is 2014. Yeah. For the highest grossing. Wow. Wow. War. Nope. Okay. Cause this is so, they didn't even adjust it for inflation prior to 2014 to see the top five. Amir Khan. 2014? PK. PK is number five. Okay. Stars. No. Is there another Amir Khan in there? There's two more. Wow. Wow, I'm genuinely stumped. Okay, so I'm going, Dildo Agnado. No. Okay. Padmavat. No. Bajaramastani. Amir Khan has two more in the top five. That we've seen. We've seen every film in the top five. Holy crap. Shows you how much I pay attention to box office. Yeah. Anyways, so tell me. Cause I want to be sitting forever. Number four is Secret Superstar. Really? Yep. Number three is Salman Bai with Bajibai Jean. The little Pakistani girl. The Pakistani girl? Yeah. I would have never guessed that one. Number one. Amir Khan again. Dango. Is the highest? Dango is the biggest box office success of all time in the Hindi language. It is? It did massive numbers in China. I would have never guessed that. It did massive numbers in China. Massive numbers. I would have never guessed that in a million years. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy, right? Wow. Yeah. I knew Dango was number one. I've heard. You knew that? Yeah, I've heard it many times. See, I paid no attention to the box office success. People just said it in the past and I'm like, oh, wow, that's crazy. Unless it's a movie that, for example, for the price of admission for the first half of Patan for me was yes, go see it, have a great time. Enjoy that. Wow. Dango. I just played, I was just doing name that tune with Andrani the other day and the Dango theme was the one I played for her. Number six is Sultan, so another Salman. Another Salman. Sanju with Renbeer. Oh yeah. And then Tiger lives, it's just Salman. Okay. Badmavada is nine. Doom three is 10. War is 11. Oh, I knew war would be close. Andahan is 13. No way. Three idiots is 14. Chennai Express 15. Simba 16. Kabir Singh 17. Diwali 18. Supreme Rathada is Samasambhakan and then Bajirao is 20. Wow. Andahan. Yeah. So basically, I think if it does well in the United States or China, it really elevates it. Well, obviously, I mean, when a film gets created here and they're doing distribution, there's always discussion about whether or not China's accepted it because that's such a huge population. Yeah. Just depends on what they wanna cut out. Well, and the questions of do you wanna cut what they're asking you to cut? Yeah. And normally a lot of people don't. No. Thankfully. Yeah. But yeah, it's crazy, right? I would have bet money and lost about Dango being the number one. Let's see if you can do the top five highest-grossing total Indian films. Okay. Hold on. Once again, I'm gonna use INDB so if the information is wrong, it's INDB. This is all industries. All industries. Okay. Bahubali. Bahubali one, no. Bahubali isn't even in the top five. The first part is not. Bahubali two. Yes. Bahubali two is number two. Dango surpassed Bahubali two. Dango is number one. Wow. Like I said, if that if. Dango was bigger than Bahubali two? That's what INDB says, so. Wow. Okay, KGF. KGF two. Two is number four. Yeah, and KGF. KGF's not on top five. Really? Yeah. Now this may seem very strange, but I heard things about it. Is Pushpa in there? Vikram? No. You're missing one that you said in the other list. Vramashtra? No. That I did a PK. So it got knocked out of all time Indian films. But you're missing what was number two on the list? I'm the Hindi film industry. Bhattan. Bhattan is number five. Okay. And so you're missing number three, which you said, but I didn't think it was in the top. I had said it this round or the previous? Previous round. Three idiots. No, it's not Hindi. It's not Hindi. I think I misspoke and said it. I don't think it's in the top five, but it actually is. And I've said it. Yeah, you said it. KGF. No. Pushpa? No. Bahubali? R. Yes. Okay. R is three. Okay. So you got, it was Dango, Bahubali two, R, R, KGF two, and Patan. Once again, this is according to IMDb. If that, if this is an incorrect thing, I don't know. But yeah. Wild. That's crazy, right? Dango blows my mind. Yeah. Dango made, Dango's the biggest Indian film of all time. 1924.7 crores. That's crazy. 1,924. That's really wild. 1,7 crores. I don't know what that is. It sounds like a lot. A lot of money. But yeah, it's crazy, right? You know, what else is crazy is the power of SRK to have a film that's only been out for a couple of months and is now considered one of the biggest box office successes in Indian cinema history. Yes. That's just astonishing. It's gonna be crazy to see how the other ones do with, cause it will be a, it's a South Indian director that has South Indian actors. And Shahrukh Khan. Coming off of Patan. Yeah. So it's gonna be really interesting how, and then the return of the director of three, three hits and all those other ones in the one he's coming out in Christmas time. I would love to see. It's gonna be interesting to see, maybe he gets two more. Yeah. And I'd love to see numbers comparing things that are not only adjusted for inflation, but that are adjusted for everything else that it needs to be and see what films like Sholay did, Lagan, some of the more classic films that we know were massive successes when they first came out and how they would fare comparatively, cause they do it all the time where you went just for inflation. Wow. I'm looking forward when I get home, I'm gonna ask Andrani if she knows. She may, oh, of course it's Dongle. Yeah. That's wild. I mean, it's great movie. I love Dongle, but I would never guess that that is not only in the list, but a top of the list. Dongle. Yeah. That's a good movie. In terms of- And I'm surprised three idiots isn't in there. An idea. It's such a well-known film. I asked a Patreon some ideas for podcast ideas and topics or stuff like that. Some people thought we should re-watch a film we saw in the very beginning to see if our opinions have changed. That's a good idea. Which I like that idea. Or if we have friends who aren't Indian and they've never seen an Indian film, maybe they can come on. Maybe it could be one of those films. That would be a good one. Like three idiots. Sure. I haven't seen it since we watched it. I know a couple of people who would do that. Valerie would do that. Rich would do that. But has Valerie watched an Indian film yet? I don't know. Well, at least she hasn't watched a lot. She'd do it. Rich would do it. Scott would do it. Yeah. That'd be an interesting series. Yeah. And then we can talk about other stuff as well. Yeah. But so they can see an Indian film and see their opinions on it. Yeah. And we could revisit and see what, if our opinions have changed. Because I don't think we're not gonna like the films at all that we originally liked. I think we'll just probably have more grace for the nitpicks that we had. Yeah, I bet there's probably some films. I mean, I did that with Barfi in Ranbeer's performance. I remember why I did not like his performance when I first saw Barfi. Re-watched it a while later and thought, you know what? I wasn't fair to him. I don't know why I had that particular judgment in my mind. And I'm glad I re-watched it. I bet there would be some films I go back and watch and I'd be a little bit more accepting of it. Like the one we just watched, I would- No one? Yeah, no one called Jessica. If we had seen that early, I would have, oh yeah. Remember early, early, early on, first impressions of Bahubali? Yeah. Were, oh goodness, the CGI is crap. I don't wanna watch this. Yeah. You gotta understand the context and what was going on in the industry understanding the style of acting. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's a huge one. The style of storytelling. That would be an interesting one to look back on because we had such a strong, not great opinion of it, but now we know who Rajamulia is. We know his style. Be very forgiving of the CGI. Also to re-watch the, I call it Rajasthanalism with Ramcharan. Oh yeah. We did not like that movie very much. No. Give it a second chance. I think a lot of times we give a lot more grace to actors that we'd like. Yeah, always. And it's natural. It's natural. I mean, Tom Hanks got a big pass in Elvis, right? He sure did. Which other, if that was a random actor, probably wouldn't have gotten the grace. No. Not that people have said that it's a great performance. No, but I will say there aren't even actors who have really disappointed me in the past and have yet to prove to me that I think that they're really good actors. I'm never rooting for someone to do poorly. There isn't an actor that I so dislike that I want all of their films to be terrible. That there's no one out there like that. But you give more grace to people you like. Of course. It's just kind of... Of course. Yeah. Because they're human. It says Minority Opinion, pick an iconic movie that you didn't like, like Chalk Day, and bring in a guest. That's what... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that idea. Put out a tweet asking people to send in questions beforehand and answer them. Yeah, I don't really want this to be like a Q and A kind of thing. That's not really what this is for. No, ideas. That would be more of a live that we would do that in. Anything under the sun, keep this slot open so you can choose a different topic, Indian culture, cinema. And it helps if we're talking about things that we have some understanding about that. Which is why. Example, a legal case that's really important and that's going on, we don't understand the law system in... India enough to take all of it with a grain of salt and just sit like kids in class and go, okay. One of the reasons I would love to have guests, especially Indian guests, even if they're just some stupid babies that live in Los Angeles or stuff that they can, like if they like a movie that we did not like and they can give us their perspective on it. You know what would be fun? I was just thinking, we could do, because we haven't done a meet and greet in LA, but we could do, for example, like when we've gotten a place to do the million or the 500,000 video where we have five stupid babies who are here that have never met us before and we come and we just do a round table session where they can ask us anything they wanna ask us. And we podcast it that way and we can ask them whatever we wanna ask them. That'd be fun. Yeah, that'd be fun. I think in discussed movie, controversial. And then if more people show up, we could just do it in front of a live group because not everyone would be able to ask a question. That'd be fun. Evolution of Indian cinema, different stuff like that. One movie, you can talk about stuff you watched that week. Like I watched seven this past week and Minority Report. Yeah, and the reverse as well, if there's stuff that you would like, because for years, always gotten messages from people saying, especially when I was putting videos on my personal YouTube channel, people would comment and message me about that and say, thank you for doing this. I wanna learn more about America and what life is like for Americans in your culture. There's so many things that I don't know about your culture. And we just assume you do, because you guys Indians know way more about America than Americans know about India. We just eat fast food all the time. So that'd be a cool thing as well. Anything you want us to share with you about what here. And especially we'll do a full blown tour of Corbin's house. No. Every nook and cranny, including the drawers. No, no, I don't think so. I don't think we're gonna do that. We won't show the bestiality. That'll stay private. Yeah, won't be doing that, but we could do other things. Cause I don't know if you've ever seen on Jubilee's YouTube channel. I've done a few videos with them. They have something called Spectrum. I don't know if you've ever seen those. I don't think I've seen that. I know the Jubilee channel obviously. Yeah, it's basically mental health is a good subject universally. Sex, I'm not kidding when I say that. So basically, oh, there I am. So Spectrum is something Jubilee does? Yeah, white people. Yeah, you're on the thumbnail. But so basically they, what they do, oh, you, no, you saw it because we did a reaction to it. Black people in India. Yeah, where they go on the lines. Same format. I think it's the same channel. Oh, okay. But that's just a different, that's a lot more elaborate than the one I did. So like ask a question and then you say you agree or disagree, blah, blah, blah. Like if people asked us, and I've thought about doing this with stupid babies of like if you get stupid babies that are Indian film fishinados or if you get like five shower con fans and they ask different shower con related questions and they tell it, do they agree, do they disagree? Yeah. Stuff like that. How passionate they get. Yeah, yeah, that's a different kind of podcast, but I always thought it'd be a lot of fun. Or if they asked us, it's like, have you ever faked that you've liked of something because we get those questions all the time. I know and the answer to that is no, I don't know why I would fake if I liked it. We won't fake things, but we will just. We will lie. We will withhold info on things we have a passionate detestation for that we may say to each other, we may express the fullness of our hatred for something privately, but because we know what we're talking about, you don't do that publicly because then people miss the criticism and all they hear is the vitriol. So there are times where I have really, really disliked something and I'll just say, I didn't like it because why harp on the negative so hard? But that's the only thing that is not just full blown and honest out in your face. We never fake a reaction. We've never been paid for a reaction. That's BS or a review, never will be. Interesting. Sorry, there's a little thing. Deadline Holly would just release this. Prior to the global debut of spy series Citadel, John Cattopra Jonas is getting into business with Amazon Studios again, this time with John Cena and Idris Elba Movie, Heads of Stake. Awesome, apparently. That's awesome. You heard about the deal that Amazon just did with India, the country itself. No way were they done. Yeah, it was just in variety today and I won't be able to say it verbatim the way that it's done, but what it basically says is Amazon has committed themselves to even more connectivity with Indian culture and creating Indian content and making sure that that Indian content is shared with the world. So they didn't name the specific projects, but it was just Amazon partnering with the person who's the head, for example, here in the United States if we have the, which we're not funding the arts the way we used to, but if there was a part of the arts in the United States government, it would be like having a country come and say, we're gonna partner with you, we're gonna do more creative stuff that we wanna do to share with the world. Amazon's done that. So it doesn't surprise me that Priyanka has sited out with them and is now doing a film with them. I'm sure she's gonna do a lot more with them. Yeah. Well, that was a podcast. Hope you enjoyed it. Let us know your thoughts, likes, dislikes, what we should do next. Guests we should have on, obviously, I don't have like a black book and stuff like that, but I would love to do these. Are you in LA? Yeah, let us know your opinions about it down below. The body with bull, lick, ah, ah. The body with bull, lick, ah, ah. The body with bull, lick, ah, ah, ah. The body with bull, lick, ah. Adda, adda. And I can let you booze. Adda, adda.
