  • Boots Riley's I Love Boosters

    Boots Riley's I Love Boosters
    May 27 2026
    Despite some blemishes, I Love Boosters is a hilarious adventure comedy film that proves Boots Riley is still a unique voice in an increasingly sterile American movie system. It deserves to be seen on the big screen in a packed theater. The bookshop has been updated with Madeline Cash's Lost Lambs. One of the best novels I've read all year.

    Q2 Anne Hathaway Movies
    May 6 2026
    I discuss David Frankel's Devil Wears Prada 2 and David Lowery's Mother Mary. One is a fine film that banks on the references of its predecessor. The other is one of the most bold, ambitious films of the year. Go listen! https://www.instagran.com/ajaythakkar_. https://www.letterboxd.com/shyamaween. The bookshop will be updated next week. Haven't been able to read recently lol

    The 2026 Academy Awards
    Mar 17 2026
    The 2026 Academy Awards was a near 4 hour long award show that had plenty of twist and turns. I wouldn't recommend re-watching it in its entirety. book recommendation: Salman Rushdie - Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder https://bookshop.org/shop/ajayandnathan

  • Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride!

    Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride!
    Mar 12 2026
    Despite a stellar cast and some memorable performances, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! is a tediously dull film that misses on the horror and the humor, but will eventually develop a cult following in the coming years. Book Recommendation: Jay McInerney - Bright Lights, Big City https://bookshop.org/shop/ajayandnathan
