 I saw Barbie You still have shit in your hair Hey, welcome back to our super directs of Corbin. I'm Barbie. You can follow the Instagram Twitter for juicy content Thank you dirty resource on patreon follow stood counts grab like button and I loved it. Yeah, how can you not amazing? Yeah, and I I think I know why a lot of Indians that I've actually heard didn't love it as much as what's your take on that? Yeah, it's so American Yeah, me too if you didn't grow up in the 80s and 90s with Barbie culture American culture There's so many reference like a lot of them right from the get-go if you if you if you don't know American cinema You're not gonna understand what she does at the very beginning of the film Which is funny because I was explaining to a lot of most like it's probably similar to mass cinema for indians To very very us. We did not grow up with it And so it's the opening sequence for Barbie is frame for frame the opening of 2001 a space Odyssey Yeah, and then you're right all of the references a million references I mean for example Ashley and Alexis and Micah So much of this meant so much to them because I remember when I gave the kids baths the girls had mermaid Barbies in the bath I mean, it's just all of them were actual references to real Barbies. Yeah, and It's just so difficult if you didn't grow up because a lot of them were I one comment I got a lot of it's like they felt it was childish. I'm like, yes on purpose It's a childhood toy and when you consider From the outset the last time I was this Flabbergasted by something that when I initially heard about it. I thought I don't get that Was when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker. Oh, yeah when he was cast at the Joker I thought good actor, but I don't get it based on the other Iterations of the Joker. Yeah, and then he just you know life-changingly incredible performance of all time And then this this script and this film Multiple oscar noms for this baby can be yeah, great, but anyways I was the only person on the plane. I think that I think there's actually federal inmates on death row who saw Barbie before you. Yeah, I think of another new release Vishal Bardwash is cool. Yeah Has finally come out with a tree. Wow ten years. I know Obviously taboo alia Faisal a bunch of dough is that It's a little sister So many other people as well In case you don't know, but if you are anywhere near Los Angeles Mr.. Bardwash is gonna be at the Los Angeles Indian Film Festival here in a few weeks And he's doing a masterclass will we be going as well as a screening of this film, but I funny thing is I think it comes out Before It's at the festival really makes no sense. No because it says it comes out on October 5th, and I don't think oh the festival Yeah, that's not like 15th weird. I mean I Ever the last class that's yeah price of admission enough exactly. It's just weird. Yeah, normally festivals are always first, right? Maybe it's just a special screening. Yeah. Anyways, let's just get into this Two years in the making or something like that. It's been a long time Sorry, you know my shit in order here we go Oh operation trutas will start tonight Oh Hey I said it I love a good maniacal laugh Mother Very intrigued very I mean Let's help our drosh taboo and Ali. I didn't need to see a trailer Yeah, I would really love to know anybody who which it would be probably just be People in the West, but even they would be familiar with taboo and now Ali Faisal who's doing so much stuff here Yeah, I don't know names here though. Unfortunately. No, but they're recognizable for anybody who cares Yeah, anybody who cares about cinema would recognize them, but I'd be interested to know the intrigue because I mean just The fact that it's Vishal directing taboo and Ali starring That's enough for me to go see a film. I don't need a trailer. I don't need anything else I want to see a movie that has them in involved go anywhere because it's on Netflix. Yeah Is it getting a theatrical release or is it going straight to the platform straight to platform? Okay? So maybe that's why it's Just because it's streaming or maybe they just wanted to do a Q&A I guess with Vishal after as far as the delay. Yeah in terms of why it's going to Indian Phil Vestival Los Angeles Almost a week. Yeah after yeah, I think it's like the 13th or so. Yeah After its release on on on the platform. Yeah, anyways Written and directed by Vishal and produced produced and it's score. I assume. Yeah. Yes. Yep He just he does it all taboo There was a one guy like we all we've seen him a lot No, I got He's a Indian guy that I pointed at I just feel like we've seen him We've seen her too. What do we just see her in? Well, I can't even pronounce that name. That's so I believe it's one Mika one Mika I think so forgive me if I mispronounce that we just saw her in something. Why do I it could be one Mika or one Mika? Was it jubilee? Was that the last thing we saw her in? Oh, that would be correct. Yes, but I feel who who was she in jubilee? Oh She's in Vishal's TV series as well. That's why I saw her name recently Okay, so I feel like I've seen his name. Okay. Yeah, just says she was in one episode of jubilee So I wouldn't necessarily recognize her unless she was highly featured in that I think it's because he's she's in Vishal's new thing. It looks I mean intense It looks it's based off true stories what it said, right? Yes. Okay, and the end of book About it about true events. She likes doing that. Yeah. I feel like he's a well-read man And so he likes to yes. Yes novels. Yes I mean at least from what I haven't seen everything of his obviously and you're When you have these people associated with it when he's helming it and you have taboo and Ali You're you can trust that what you're going to be getting to coin the word again Is is is something that's going to be artistically Elevative and then in addition to the artistry being elevated you you know under his Control and the writing The only the only question is going to be how true to the novel will it be and only those who've read the novel would know And I think that's somewhat immaterial because I think you can trust If there's anybody who's proven they can take something that was written and translated to film He's done a fine job, but Shakespeare's easy to translate. Yeah, so simple Not just to translate to the screen but then to contemporize it to your culture and modern events very easy so so simple And I'm surprised like he's probably one of a million who've done it and he's is probably like oh, yeah, it's so common I mean You guys in your spare time have probably taken the four and a half hour play hamlet and turned it into something wonderful Do you think taboo? When your phone was around has a closer relationship with Vishal or your phone when he was around Only she can answer that Yeah, only she could answer that and it wouldn't surprise me if the closeness would be more approximate with her counterpart as an actor because of the nature of the work But but who knows I think all three of them were pretty dang close um So the only thing he is in production outside of that tv series and also what is oh, it's a documentary. Okay I thought I had heard he was working on another Shakespeare adaption Was it oh wait a minute. What was it? for you No, I've heard it on on well. We had we did more than hearing it on the internet Yeah, but I don't we not when we were in Mumbai. Yeah um That was a very direct And I if I'm not mistaken I want to say it was. What play was it though? I I just don't know if it's still I think it was mid-summer mid-summer. I think so Now I don't know where it stands in that regard. I don't know if it was just but I think it was one of the comedies I think it was mid-summer If he could do any If he could do any Shakespeare adaption him show him. Yeah, which one would you want him to do? Oh my goodness. Well, I would love a comedy Because he's done he's done nothing, but tragedy is this far So I would love I think he could do anything I would love truly The one that would be the most interesting to see him do and what he would do with it would be His particular vision of mid-summer. I I he could do so many Things that I can't even begin to imagine There's so much there that he he could do a literal thing and just make it kind of fantasy He could also just make that metaphorical and turn it into something contemporary and Indian I think he should take Shakespeare's worst work and make it into a great He could do that. What's Shakespeare's worst work? Well the popularity of some of his and You'll agree with what I'm about to say He has some other lesser known things that a lot of scholars consider to be His lesser works in terms of when you watch the evolution of his writing. Yeah, I I find Romeo and Juliet to be quite sophomoric. Yeah, yeah, and and a bit Disconcerting. Yeah, and and of his stories. It's by far the The great thing about Romeo and Juliet is it's the most accessible if anyone was getting introduced to to Shakespeare Especially a young person. I'd say go to Romeo and Juliet, but it's because of that that to me. It's his weakest It's his weakest. It's a good story, but it's it's it's a very weak Sanjay live and solid did it better Yeah, I see what Vishal would do with Romeo and Juliet though because he wouldn't do what No, he wouldn't do what Sanjay. I mean nobody would do what Sanjay does, right? No, um, he would make it a lot Darker and grittier. He would he would he would Yeah, what was the other Romeo and Juliet Indian adaption that we saw wasn't there another one of Romeo and Juliet Yeah, there was like an adaption. I do not remember M. Leela. It was another one that Which the Malayalam one that not that's not Romeo and Juliet. It's not what I'm thinking of What was the Fafa one? Was this a a a re-indition of what play? Oh, yeah, it was um Was it Hamlet? Yeah, it was it was Hamlet. No, no, no. It wasn't Hamlet It was um Mcbeth? Mcbeth. It was Mcbeth. Yeah. Yeah, it was Mcbeth. No, I'm thinking about the film. It was definitely Mcbeth. It was Mcbeth Um And we said which was a really wonderful adaptation three times. So that's oh shoot this well the channel is now going to be gone Anyways, uh, very excited. Obviously, uh, with just the director and you know the story about that at the Pasadena Playhouse Yeah, uh, obviously who's involved. Uh, very much looking forward to another Vishal film Yes No, wait, I'm on his page right now He's a short a short you mean since the the channel started. Yes. Um, Yeah, darling. He was composer. You mean one that he helmed. Yeah, this is his first I think this is our first director that he's helmed new since the channel started. Yep Uh, that's exciting. You're very excited. Unfortunately. It's not theatrical release. I always Yeah, I prefer that but whatever which I find Well, it's Netflix. That doesn't surprise me. Yeah, but also I like it. We said in the past like him and Anya most of their films are Technically flops. Yeah, most of them. Yeah, um, it's just sad, but Just goes to show you it doesn't mean anything. Obviously, uh, it doesn't make a great film But anyways, let us know what you thought about the trailer if you're excited for it What should be our next Vishal Bartow? Or should we haven't got to all of this stuff yet and taboo and taboo on all the possible Let us know down below
