 Welcome to the 2023 annual dummies. And if you take a couple of letters out of that, it's the anal dummies. What? Annual, anal, yeah. That's terrible. Juice! Hey, welcome back to our StebHeader X of Corbin. I'm terrible. And you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter for more juicy content. Thank you to everybody who supports on Patreon and follows through to the account, subscribe and hit the like button. Indeed, did what he said. And today we're doing our annual dummies. The most prestigious award on YouTube. We tried to get Jimmy Kimmel, but he said go away. Yes, he did. Thank you. That's why I'm dressed up. We're gonna have an applause for each winner this year. I love it. Speaking of this year, can I show you something that we got that I am really proud of? I brought with me. No, okay. So, Andrani found this. I think this is the greatest calendar in the history of the world. You ready? Sure. A fucking 2024 calendar. Get your shit together this year. So here's January. This shit's gonna be mine. Down at the bottom, it has things like... Other shit to remember. Yeah. Resolution shit was fun while I was there. That's funny. And then every month has something just brand new. Here we fucking go again. That's great. And then to add to it, it's like on Father's Day, it says dads are fucking awesome. But then you can have these stickers to put on your calendar as well. That's funny. Isn't that great? I like it. Woo! Yeah, so we're doing our annual dummies. The dummies are here for you guys who are confused. And they're like, oh, I thought you did your top 10. That was our favorites. Yeah, we did. That was our favorites. I explained that even though you guys skip intros. That was our personal favorite. This was my favorite. On my personal YouTube channel, I put up a video talking about the fact that I'm just putting my acting stuff up on there. I'm not doing the reviews. And the only comment on my video was, wait, where are the reviews? I replied back, watch the video. Yeah. So that was our top 10, each of our personal favorites. One of the ones that we like the most. This is, even though it's called the dummies, we're treating it like it's an Oscar style film. So it's all about artistic artistry. So you will have some overlap, obviously. Of course. Because of what we like, but it's gonna be different as well. This is on the technical merits of what we viewed. Like we do with most of our reviews. We have, we differentiate between the movies that we, for example, we talk about this all the time. Grease is in my top 100 films of all time ever made. It doesn't deserve a single award. It's just a great, fun movie. I don't know about that. Maybe the songs. Yeah, the score is a song. The songs, it could get a song for that. Or production design, that's some good production design. It did have some good production design. And if they were giving an award for really old people playing teens, they would take the case. Especially Sunny. Yeah. Anyway, he still looks older than he does. Anyway, so this is that. And each category, we try to come up with collaborative. We don't always agree. And we don't know each other's answers either. So his winner could be different than my winner. No, and the nominees may not be, what basically happens is we make our choices. I send Corbin my list of the ones that I think should be nominated. He makes the final decision on what the nominees are. If he leaves something out, I can call him stupid for it, but ultimately we don't know what. I didn't take anything out of Rick's, but there are some categories that do have more than five nominees. And, so just note that. We limit this. We don't cover all, there's 24 categories at the Oscars, and that includes everything, like documentary short, live action short. We don't cover that. We also, there's some disciplines we talk about in our reviews that we don't feel like we are expert enough to really understand whether or not it was superior in that regard. For example, we do honorable mentions for things like makeup and hair. We do honorable mentions for costume design and editing and sound design and VFX. I did add full categories to some of those. That's fine, that's fine. But as far as we're concerned, those are the ones that we can appreciate and see and love, but we really don't have the craftsmanship understanding to differentiate. Especially, I can see things in editing, but my friend Kenny, he'll point out stuff that I, because he's an editor, yeah. So there you go. Anyways, so to start it off here, let's start off with costume design. We'll start off with those mentions here. And the nominees are for costume design. PS2. Oh my. Great costumes. Great costumes. Archies. Ooh, yeah. You look at this. One of the best parts of that entire movie. True. Was the costume design. That's true. Rocky Arani, K-Prem, Gahani. I can't, I can't argue with that. And Berlin. I know a lot of you haven't seen Berlin, but man, the world and the costuming in that movie is impeccable. Off the charts impeccable. Yep, but now we will nominate, and like I said, we're gonna do three, two, one, because once again, we do not know each other's winners, and so we will find out at the exact same time as you. So, three, two, one. PS2. PS2. Yeah, Monty Rottenham couldn't be here. Yeah. To accept the award. At least not now. He was here earlier, he had to leave. Yeah, he had to leave. He typically shows up in the morning and has toast. Yeah, that one was just, I mean, I could have made an argument for actually quite, the R cheese actually was pretty high because that would, that and then the production design of that movie is by far the best parts of that movie. But when you see the behind the scenes and you realize what lengths they went to and the amount of costumes they had to create, it's off the charts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so the other ones that we just have honorable mentions for that I didn't come up with categories, just, I could have, but I just left them. So honorable mention for makeup and hair, Salar. Yep. Editing, Berlin. Sound design. Berlin. VFX. Salar. Salar. That one I could have given to actually quite a few. There's several films this year that had VFX, but that was one of the things I remember among many. We were really, we found no VFX flaws on Salar. And we're gonna do one other category before we get to the Mamba Jambas here. Yeah. That is actually a, just a personal favorite that we probably should have done in the top tens, but we just saved it for here. So this is more just our favorites, but it's our favorite watch along of the year. Yeah. And we did quite a few. We did. We did quite a few this year, but the nominees are for best watch along. Doctor. I'll let you say this next one. Faro Charadambalam. The Denouche. The Denouche Romcom. Mavidan. Mm-hmm. Jaya, Jaya, Jaya, hey. And Munabah. We had some great watch alongs. And I actually left quite a few off of this list. We had some great watch alongs. This one's hard for me. This one's very difficult because I loved every single one. Every single one. And there's stuff that I left off that I also wanted to put on. Yeah, I get it. For watch alongs, but this is... It's a coin toss and I feel bad because it's very difficult for me to choose. Yeah. I have the one, though, that I'm choosing. One, three, two, one. Doctor. Yeah. If you saw that watch along, that was just a brilliant movie and so fun. Yeah, all of those other ones could have taken the, for sure. But if you see us talk about Doctor afterwards and the difficulty of taking that subject matter and making it work the way it works, that just gives a teensy little smidgen about it. I would have a hard time. I don't know when that movie came out. I forget like maybe 20, I forget when that movie came out. Two years ago. I'd have a hard time not giving that the best picture. Yeah, that would be tough that year. If that was out this year because I enjoyed it so much. I think it was so well done as well. Yep. I'd have a hard time not giving that movie the best picture nom. Yeah. And so also if we did this like we do the normal, because we forgot to explain that in the beginning, I apologize. We are doing this differently than we have in the years past. The years past we did everything that we watched. Right, that's true. This would have been 94 films. I'm always mixed about that because even though obviously there's so many great performances and stuff like that, it's hard to compare like a film that we saw in for a 1950s film to a film we saw in 2023. Yeah. It's not usually fair. So we decided to put everything in 2023 to make everything fair. Yeah. So like the visual effects are on par with everything else. Yes. It's the current year. And so that's how we're doing that. Except for that one. Yeah. For a watch. Yeah, the watch-alongs are. Just because we've upped the watch-along a lot this year. Yeah. So now we're getting into the big Mamba Jambas here. Ba-ba-ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. When do you wanna do our Lifetime Achievement Award? Just before Best Picture. How's that? All right, next category is Stunt Ensemble. Yeah! Quik-quik-quik-quik-quik-quik-quik-quik-quik. If I wanna do more editing, I would put clips of each one. Yeah, that's a lot of work. I've heard something that most people don't care about. Anyways, the nominees are. Jigurthanda, double X. Salarm. Jailorm. Leo. Whoa. Whoa, indeed. Heck of a category's here. I'll be interested to see, this is a toss up. I don't have a problem picking any one of those films. I really don't. No, they all had really good stunt work this year. All had great stunt work. Yeah, it's a tough one. It's a tough one. Yep. Anyways, three, two, one. Salarm. Salar. We haven't had a difference yet. I don't think. Yeah, we've been pretty much on par. Yeah. I almost picked the Archies for costume design just because I really enjoyed the costume design. It was great costume design. But yeah, I could also make an argument for the other ones. Any of the other ones as well. But there was some standout stuff that just, it was stood out. Especially with like the mass stuff. Yeah. And it was just the stunt work and that. Yep. It was absolutely brilliant. Yep. That movie and all the stunts in that movie. Indeed. So congratulations to you. Provost could not be here. Yeah. We asked him to come but he. He's so shy. He said, darlings, thank you so much. But no. Yeah. Very kind of him though. Yeah. Today and then next one we got score. A heck of a year for scores by the way. And this is one that there are six nominees. Because Corbin had to include one other film. Yep. The nominees are. Chigritanda, double X. Jailar. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Piestu. Mm hmm. Jailar. Patan. Rocky Arani. K-Premka, Arani. Say Jailar the way you did. Jailar. Say it again. Jailar. Why do you sound like somebody? I don't know. Like an Indian. Say it. Jailar. I don't know. You sound like. I can't put my finger on it. Sound like somebody. Anyway, a heck of a year for scores though by the way. And also I could have put once again, one of the best parts of it, Archie's and this as well. The costume design and hair makeup and the set building were the best. But then the songs themselves. The songs were great. They're very catchy songs. But it just missed it. And this was really tough for me. For a couple of them. But one gets the edge for me. All right. Three, two, one. Rocky or Arani, K-Premka, Arani. You knew that was coming. It's why he included it in the nominations. You think the score to Rocky Arani. That's why I put it, yeah. Was better than Salar PS2 jiggered on the double X? Yes. You're insane. No one's asking you to comment on my picks here. Why'd you pick Salar? Go ahead. Because of the artistic excellence of it throughout the totality of the film and covering a myriad of different emotions that were extraordinary sometimes. Complimentary sometimes as big as it needed to be in the forefront. Sometimes it was back. They basically covered everything that you need to cover in a score with depth and expertise. And it just from start to finish. I just kept marveling at how good the score was. I agree. The whole film. Salar score was absolutely brilliant. Yeah. It was a great day. Supreme Kahani score was equally as brilliant and also has been in my playlist for the entire year since I've heard it. Oh, I agree that Rocky Arani has better standalone songs. I also include the score in that though. And we didn't have also a song category either. No, maybe it would have changed. But, no, because it differentiates song and score. But it's also included if you just include the score. The songs are part of the score. They are part of the score. Especially in Indian cinema. I wouldn't even nominate Rocky Arani. I know you didn't. Yeah. Which is why I put it in there. Art direction. This is another tough one that has an extra category because Corbin wants to make love to Rocky Arani. Hey, no one's asking you to comment, are they? The nominees are. Salar. PS2. Berlin. The Archies. Tiggered on the double X. Rocky Arani. This is actually a very, very tough. Yeah, this is really, really, really difficult because they're all excellent for different reasons. And you're so. You're crazy if you don't think Rocky Arani's art direction was absolutely. I think it was wonderful. I don't, I just, I don't think it's, you know, you're an idiot, that's what. Anyway, it's three. Hold on. This is really, really, really, really difficult. There's about, honestly, I could give it to actually every single one of these. Yeah. I'm second guessing my decision right now. I'm okay with my decision. I just feel badly for a couple of them that are just so extraordinary, but I don't, I'm confident with my choice. Okay. Three, two, one. The Archies. I'm just glad you didn't say Rocky Arani. Oh, I could have. I could have. No one's asking you to give your opinion on my pick, Rick. The, yeah, the Archies, even though the movie was a letdown, that part of it was not. And we talked about it in the review. And the reason I could have given it to Solar absolutely is just because it was actually similar to the art direction in KGF2. And so I'd seen that style before. And so that was the one tick on that one that it had. Okay. I have no issue if you're giving it to Solar. But that's the one in the Archies. I was like, this is one of the best production design, like the world building they did in that movie, even though the film itself was a letdown, that the set design in our direction of it was. Was great. Was great. For me, the two other than Solar that were the most difficult not to choose and make Solar was PS2 and Berlin. Great. Because anything that's small, art direction, makeup, production design. Especially the limited budget. Yeah, the minute details of smallness are so incredible. But I just was, I was repeatedly blown away at how good art direction was in Solar. I get it, man. It's absolutely fantastic. Cinematography, the nominees are Solar. Solar. PS2. Vidutale part one, Berlin, Malviran. This is a, this is a good category. It's a very good category. Very good category. And there's one film, well, I'll talk about it after we make our, make our choice. A Telugu, a Tamil, a Tamil, a Hindi, a Tamil. So three Tamils, one Telugu and then a Hindi film that most people have not seen currently. And probably won't see because it'll be a small, small thing, sadly. But you ready? I think so. Three, two, one. BDS on the part. Yeah. That's the one. That cinematographer, just the opening shot. The opening sequence. I get it. That is so difficult. And then the rest of the film with also the small budget, obviously Solar had a massive budget. And so you'd expect obviously, you picked Solar, right? I did. Okay, I wasn't listening when you were talking. I don't think I put the push the button here. That, that is the, I can't say. Yeah, Vidyathali. Vidyathali, part one. The smallness of it, but also the grandness of some of it even. Yeah. And even though obviously with cinematography, a lot of times you get those big acts for like a Solar and that stuff. And that stuff is impressive and it's deserving. But that really struck me about that film. Yeah, I can't argue with that, especially the opening sequence makes it really difficult not to pick it. The other ones as well. Guys, if you've noticed, Berlin is getting repeatedly nominated. Absolutely. We were so impressed with that film on pretty much every level. Do yourself a favor when you're able to see it. Please go see it. I can't imagine you're not gonna love it. Yeah. Next category is supporting actress. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I don't know what I got. And this was a difficult category. Yeah. At least for this year in terms of the supporting. And there was some, that I could actress and supporting actress. Yeah. We was tough to, which ones do you put where? Right. And in different kind of stuff. It was tough. It's a tough year for that one, but the nominees are Taboo. In Kati. I think it's Kuti. Is it Kuti? You're right, it is. It's Kuti. Tilatama Shom, less stories too. Shria Reddy in Solar. Smita Tambay in Joram. And S. Afia Tasnim, who played Pawnee in Chitta. That was a good one. I saw you look down. I thought you were gonna press a button. I was looking for the button. Yeah. And you ready? I am ready. The winner is three, two, one, Tilatama Shomay. Interesting. Also, hold on. No offense to our Dost. Dost. Yeah, no offense to our Dost from me for not selecting you. I mean, you're a nominee. You just, if you saw my review of Joram, you know how I felt about Smita. She was great. That was the second one that I would have picked out of. I have no problem with these nominees. Tilatama. If this was the Oscars and it went to Tilatama, I'd be disappointed for Smita, but I would not be, I would be very happy for Tilatama. That's awesome. It is impressive that Smita did so much with so little. Exactly. Obviously she made such an impact with actually so little dialogue and that kind of stuff. So she did a phenomenal job. Yep. But. And my other, what Tilatama did and the last stories, which is the best part of last stories too. Yeah. All of those performances were just really worthy. It wasn't one of those years where you had to, you're just plugging something in to just plug it in, which we're not gonna do anyway, but yeah. There we go. And if you haven't seen those performances. Please do. Do. Now. Supporting actor. Heavyweight category right here. Oh yeah. There's a lot going on here. And the nominees are Rahul Boz. Berlin. Oh, hold on. Dost. Ha ha! Ishwaksing. Dost. Berlin. Vinayakan. Jailer. Joju George. Irata. And guess what? Yes. Bobby Dole. For animal. Bobby. Fuckin' Dole. Animal made it into our dummies. What? What? It's, it's. Spoiler alert. It's the only time it makes it. Ha ha ha ha ha. Not picture. But if you saw the review, you know we loved some Bobby. Fuckin' Dole. Yeah. This one's. It's a heavyweight category. This is a very tough category. This is one of those, if this was a nominating year for the Oscars and one of them wins, I couldn't argue. It would be equally wonderful to see any of these people. I have a very particular reason for my choice. And then I'll tell you my very, very close second. So. This was a very difficult one. I could have made an argument for every. Every one of them. Single one. Every one of them is worthy and memorable. If you haven't seen any of these, obviously Bobby don't the one, the movie that you don't have to see the most. At least for sure. But to see Bobby Dole's performance, maybe look it up on YouTube or something because it is. Fuckin' stand out. It's stand out. But this is so tough. It is. This is so tough. But I'm comfortable with my choice. Three. Hold on. Three. Two. One. Ishwak Singh. Bobby Dole. I knew you were going to choose Bobby Dole. OK, here's the reason. I have no issues with what you said. I actually, my second one would have been Rahul Bolt. That was that was actually my second one. That was my second one. Was both of those because the but. The impact in this and how much I loved his performance and how much I didn't like the film and the impact he made on me. Like if I'm like, oh, the performance that I can think about that I was like, oh, love to play. I think about it all the time and how mad I was that I didn't get more of him was Bobby Dole's performance. But I could have made an argument for Rahul Bose, Ishwak, and yeah, and all of them. Yeah, for me, Ishwak's how much could go wrong? Sorry. Um, the yeah, the how much could go wrong? The work in sign language that had to be done. Brilliant. The intimacy of all of the scenes being just unforgiving close up over the shoulder shots that could have easily been a play. Oh, yeah. I just it was the same with Rahul Bose. He he was this could have been any of them. But for me, Ishwak absolutely was the one. Yeah, it was can't argue with it at all. Next one is actress in a leading role. That's right. And this was tough because there's some that we debaters like, is that a supporting? Is that a lead? Yeah. So but that's how the Oscars goes, too. If they don't think they can win in a leading, they'll oftentimes put even though you're like, wasn't she leading? They'll put yeah, they'll put them in supporting. Yeah, it happens. But the nominees are Ashwari Aray Bakchan for P.S. Two. Wow. Kareena Kapoor for Johnny John. Who? Namisha Sajayan in Chita. Puhumi Pednekar. Thank you for coming. And Sahasra Sri in Chita. So one of those was the little girl, the other one was the woman. Yes. Please go see all these. Please do go see those. And the winner is three, two, one. Ashwari Aray Bakchan. Yeah. I'll let the I'll let the audience vlog. Yeah. He deserves it. Yeah, I don't. I can actually remember if she won last year as well for P.S. one P.S. One she might have. She may have. I'd have to go back and look because I don't remember. I don't remember. Yeah. Equally a standout. Even better. Even more. Especially with a certain scene that you know we loved so much. She was the standout actress performance. Who was the who was the I have a number two. Who was your second behind her that if she wasn't in the in the race you would have selected as your number two? Karina Kapoor. That was me too. Yeah. For many of the same reasons I love seeing these women who have left the young leading lady and are now in just the meat house of mature womanly leading lady and are carrying themselves on screen with this depth and this maturity and this gravitas and are aging just beautifully. And I don't mean that they're hiding their age. I mean the opposite. Their ages is showing in the characters that they play. I just I loved both. I could have easily chosen chosen Karina Kapoor but I won't ever forget that scene in P.S. two between Ashwari and Vikram. Absolutely. And the way Ashwari continued to carry that regality from the first one into the second one. She just it was legendary. Absolutely. Next category is actor. Another leading role. Tough category. And this is one that has six by the way. The nominees are Mamoudi, Nampakal Narathumayakam. That's the LPJ. L.J.P. Sorry L.J.P. I'm having a moment. Prabhas in Salar. Manoj Bajpagi in Joram. Vikram in P.S. two. A.K. Oh, sorry. We should have done Manoj. We missed it on Manoj as well. There you go. Thank you. A.K. for Berlin. And then Rockshit Shetty for Side A. I can't pronounce the whole thing. I just put Side A. I apologize. God, what a year. This is an insanely difficult, difficult, difficult one. But I've got, I've got, I've known and this is, I'm okay with my choice. Three, two, one. Mamoudi. Vikram P.S. two. That was the other one. And I almost picked him. And I have no issues. I have no issues with you picking Mamoudi at all because he was almost my pick as well. Vikram, I think it's just that performance specifically really opened our eyes, obviously to him. And it was one of the standout scenes of the year in terms of performances. Obviously he was in the whole thing. He was brilliant in the whole thing. Yeah. But there was one scene in particular with the choreo. Yep. That, man. Yeah. It's still ingrained. Yep. Agreed. I just, any number of these. And again, if you haven't seen the films that we're mentioning through here, obviously these are all films we loved, except for animal. But to yourself a favor and watch the performances. Yeah. It's just, it's awesome. And I know there are some that, in Mamoudi's film this past year, that we didn't see because it didn't, we didn't get a release here. Yeah. And it's still not out. Right. So I don't think it's on streaming, but the one with the case. Yeah. And the husband and the wife. The wife thing. The trailer was sitting at the table. Brilliant stuff about. Yeah. And so maybe our stuff would have changed just like last year's, after we saw all those Malayalam films, that would have completely changed the dummies and our favorites of the year. But this is what we have so far. So, but yeah, those, no issues. Yep. Director. This one's really hard. That's what she said. This one, this one was, this one was possibly my, the most difficult category for me to make a decision on. Yeah. Denominies are. LJP. Dost. Prashanth Neal for Silar. Madone Ashwin. Mahviren. Mani Ratnam for PS2. And Etul Sabarwal for Berlin. Dost. Yeah. This one was really, really, really freaking hard to pick a winner in. Yeah. Yeah. I have a winner though. I do too. And I'm comfortable with my choice. Three, two, one. LJP. LJP. Take your applause, sir. Oh, Dost. Yeah. What needs to be said about LJP that hasn't already been said. Yeah. He just continues to be who he is. His new film, the one with Mohano. Yeah. It's like just over a two hour run time. Jesus. For like this epic. Like normally that'd be like a three hour movie. No, he is and continues to prove and he catapulted into the world's mind with Jaleh Katsu. He's one of the greatest living directors. Easily. Of just right now. You name the greatest directors on the planet. Yeah. He's on there. He's on there, easily. Yeah, no issues there. And it was tough. It was. Because the scope of work for Solar and PS2. Yeah. The smallness of Berlin and. Maviran. The uniqueness and the just pure enjoyability as a direct result of Maviran's direction. Absolutely brilliant. So they're all wonderful. Our lifetime achievement. So in years past, the very first lifetime achievement award we ever gave to was to the late, great, never to be forgotten, arguably the greatest of all time. Let's go. Irfan Khan. And then we also did, I'm not looking at the list, but I know we also did. I don't have it. Taboo. Yes. And there was one other one. Big B. I wanna say it was Big B. If it's not, we need to do him soon. Oh no, no, this makes sense. It was Satyajit Rai. Yes. Yes. 100. So for this year, our lifetime achievement award, especially in light of a particular film that was released because he's still going strong, is Rajnikan. Still going strong. How many years in the industry has he had? Four. Believe it or not. It might be five. It might be five. I might, math might be, mathing wrong. It's 60. Yeah. Something like that. And still going strong, still making some of the best, Jailer's one of the best films of the year. Yeah, it's brilliant. He's a legend. Yeah, he is. And as I say all the time, best wigs in the business. And our final category is Best Picture, the greatest film of 2023. In India. And this is once again, our favorites are different than the best. Obviously, some will overlap. Correct. But that's this, we're treating this like it's the Oscars, so artistic excellence. Yeah, it's artistic excellence. The films, the films that should be put in a time capsule for people to see for a billion reasons and a half, technical merit, the profundity of the message, the importance of the message, the level of artistry. It's just that. And Rick actually only gave me five for this, but I added on some. I didn't add Rocky Arani even though I wanted to. I didn't. Just know it's an honorable mention for me. For him. And you know it was his personal favorite from the top 10. Just know it was an honorable mention for Corbin. Yes. But I appreciate that you didn't include it. But I want to. I know. Just know that. I know. So go. And we've expanded it, obviously, because the Oscars have a 10 picture, which we think is considering the number of films and great films, 10 is the right number to have for the Oscars. So our list in no particular order here, we have non-paco, not out to Maya Kim. It's the LJP film. Solar, Mavirin. There's not a lot of surprises here if you've been listening to the other categories. PS2, Berlin, Chitta, Joram, and Vidutali part one. Yeah. Not a surprise if you've been listening to any of those categories. All of those are brilliant. Yeah. But. And I got to say, I am very shocked. A year ago right now, if you had told me that in the dummies, we wouldn't have a single Shahrukh Khan thing from the three films that were coming out as part of the dummies, I'm really surprised that we saw a year with three SRK films and there wasn't anything about his films that we thought was meritorious. Other than say some stunt work and some visual effects. I could have put Vicky in supporting, but there was just other really good ones that he missed out. I could have put him. He crossed my mind. That would be the one thing, but yeah. It was just surprising. And there's Malielem, Tolugu, Dommel, Dommel, Hindi. Dommel, Hindi, Dommel. Yeah, there's only two Hindi's. Two Hindi's. And the winner is three, two, one. Nampakal Narasgala, you say it. Yeah. Even though there's so many brilliant ones, this is actually very easy for me. It was. You know what was interesting? It didn't ever really come close, but the one that shot higher than I would have ever imagined that if we didn't have this in the category, if his film had been last year, all the other nominees, for me, it would have been Solar. And that's shocking to me. That was one year last year. That was that good. No, if Nampakal Narasgala came was not in the list. And I had to choose another film that I think was the best film of the year. I would have chosen, I actually would have chosen, painfully not choosing Berlin, I would have chosen Solar. Wow. Yeah. That's insane. That's how much I think that movie is spectacular. That's insane. But nothing touched. That was not, that would not have been my pick. No, you would have picked Rocky or Ronnie. No. So I do think it should have been included. Yeah. My Viran, you could have picked Berlin, this last one right here. Yeah, but it's only part one. Part one as well. And also another one that I wanted to include. The reason I didn't include these two is because since we were kind of collaborative and I liked it and Rick didn't. So part A is one that I would have included into the best picture and Rocky or Ronnie. Neither would have been my pick, but those are two that I would have included. But nothing really touched Nanna in terms of artistic artistry and how much I enjoyed it. We said it all year. We thought that should have been India's submission to the Oscars. Still do, always will. Yeah, I don't know if it would have gotten because obviously it- No, Jolly Katsu didn't get picked. But it had a shot. A lot of roots in Tamil and Malayalam culture and language and stuff that we didn't get, but it would have had a much better shot. Yeah, if you're wondering about what it is that the Oscars looks for, just look at the films that have come out of France, Italy, and Spain in the past 50 years because nobody has more nominations. Basically, they are the ones. Everybody else has maybe one or two nominations. Well, Korea. A few, not compared to- Well, they've actually won a picture though. Not compared to Spain, France, and Italy. They are off the charts. Unless you include wins. In fact, because pairs have won. It did, but that's the only time Korea's ever won an Oscar. But where did I put it? I had a list. I don't think Spain or- Maybe it was a might to do list there. I don't think Spain or- Are you talking foreign category? Are you talking- Yeah, I'm talking international film. Yeah, I'm talking the international films. I think I put it in there. I think I put it in the intro. Yeah. Oh no, that's not there. It doesn't matter, but just look that up because I have. Anyways, that is our winner of the year. I hope you guys enjoyed it. And heck of a year, I'm so looking forward to this next year because I think there's gonna be a lot of great content coming out. And also I think it's gonna be the year, hopefully the year of content-oriented films. The beginning certainly feels that way. Yeah. With Merry Christmas and Captain Miller. Yes. Hopefully obviously we're stuming. And then obviously LGP's film. Yeah. And then Vikram's film. Yeah, you also, you may be wondering. There have been years in the past where we've talked about our favorite series. Yes. We just didn't watch enough to- We saw three or four. Put it into that category, really. We saw three or four. I'm trying from this particular year, obviously. Guns and Gulabs. Guns and Gulabs, the one, the film industry. Oh yeah, Jubilee. Jubilee. And- Farsi. Farsi. There was another one. There was? Was there not? I think we- No! Railwayman? I guess that counts. It's a limited series. That counts. Railwayman counts as a limited series. What would have been your favorite of those? The one I would say is my takeaway of the one I enjoyed the most, it would probably go to Guns and Gulabs. Yeah, it'd be that or Farsi. Yeah. That was the other one for me was Farsi. Guns and Gulabs. Yeah. I mean, does she talk about art direction? Jubilee. Jubilee's art direction, and the performances were great. It just had some inconsistency. Like, the first episode was just off the charts spectacular, and then it kind of had a lull. So it still was a very enjoyable series, and it's worth watching for sure. Anyways, so that is it. Let us know why we're idiots, why you like it, what your picks would have been for each. Why Animal is the greatest film ever made? Because it made the most money, that's why. That's it. Anyway. You wanna do that? Let's do a list of the best films of the year based on Box Office. Yeah, we're never doing that. If Animal was all about Bobby Dole, it'd be the winner. For sure. Yeah. I can't. He's the only thing I liked about the film. That was absolutely. Let us know what you would have picked for each category down below.
