The next time you reject horror on the grounds of it being self-indulgent and designed just to give you nightmares, think again.

Noir is a style of filmmaking characterized by such elements as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and underlying existentialist philosophy. The genre was prevalent mostly in American crime dramas of the post-World War II era. And it was in this era, that a film made by a German immigrant, became the forefather of all "noir films". Listen to the episode to know more about this iconic film, and the impressions it has had on other films that came after.

In this episode, we continue discussing animated short films created by Steve Cutts. Steve is an illustrator and animator based out of London, and according to me, a master storyteller about human behaviours and emotions and the state of the world. The films might be short, but the ideas captured by them are as profound as they can get, within 1 to 4 minutes. The short films I analyze in this episode are linked below, for you to delve deep into the masterful animation created by Steve Cutts.

Okay so, I usually never talk about the "latest stuff" - I never realised this until about the 8th episode in. Am I am retro guy? We'll dwell about that later. 🤔 I am talking about a 2021 Christmas release - and if you haven't seen "Don't Look Up!" yet, don't worry about the spoilers, and it isn't what I am talking about. Though I have explained the reason for not talking about Don't Look Up - towards the end 👀 Do leave a rating and a review on Spotify for this podcast, and a comment on anchor.fm / IG @binge_beyond / Twitter @Binge_Beyond / FB @bingebeyond about this episode! 🤗 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/binge-beyond/message

Usually, Christmas releases are about jubilation, warmth and celebrating love. However, we aren’t here to talk about fun, frolic and comfort only, as we discuss three films (two in this episode, one in the next) with unconventional themes, either set in and around Christmas Eve, or released around the holiday season. Hints about the films? Well, the first one is loved by Brooklyn Nine Nine Cast, while the second one is (presumably) hate Slumdog Millionaire, for robbing them off at Oscars.   Do leave a rating and a review on Spotify for this podcast, and a comment on anchor.fm / IG @binge_beyond / Twitter @Binge_Beyond / FB @bingebeyond about this episode! 🤗 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/binge-beyond/message

Confused with the title? Expecting a sepia toned throwback picture of V fighting villains in 1984, at a club? 🤪 Well, we continue the discussion from our last episode, and compare the cult "V for Vendetta" with two other equally cult-y films; the first one with a similar (yet different) theme, and the second one with a similar (yet different) central character. Which films? Listen to this episode, to know that! 🎧 We also discuss if there's a potential for a crossover - with V in an alternate universe; since it's a common thing for super heroes and super villains nowadays to roam around in the multiverse (don't blame me for the obvious Spiderman NWH spoiler hint, it's on you if you haven't watched it yet 🤷🏻‍♂️ ) Do leave a rating and a review on Spotify for this podcast, and a comment on anchor.fm / IG @binge_beyond / Twitter @Binge_Beyond / FB @bingebeyond about this episode! 🤗 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/binge-beyond/message

“Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason, why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.” We are discussing a movie which immortalized this folklore based on a 400+ years old British Rebellion, and showed how tyrannical governments can be brought down to their knees. The single letter title should be a give away for those who have already experienced this verbose, poetic, dystopian adventure...do let us know if we did justice to the movie through this analysis! For those who have not seen the movie yet, please do so, after listening to this episode! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/binge-beyond/message

Anyone who’s not been living under a sand dune, must have been hit by the wave of ‘Dune’, the movie. The Timothée Chalamet starrer is being lauded as a masterpiece by critics.

So how many and which of his films are we talking about? Check this episode to find out more, and you never know, you may land on a pearl of a movie recommendation from his filmography that you haven't experienced, yet! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/binge-beyond/message

In 2005, a thrilling TV show defined the term "binge watching", redefined the term "nail biting", and made overcoming seemingly impossible situations, possible. It would often make the audience break into cold sweat, making them think, "holy shit what is going to happen next!" For those watching it on their laptops, like college students, it made them bunk their classes, miss their assignments, and sit and finish a whole season in one go. This week, and the next, we would be talking about...tattoos, origami, contained thrillers, heists....do listen to the episode, to know about this show, that has it all ;)  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/binge-beyond/message
