Listen "Episode 2 - Hum Tum"
Episode Synopsis
It's time for the 2000s! What was this decade? Why was this decade? A curious time, with a bewildering range of films, all of which still somehow managed to share a common peak 2000s aesthetic. I mean, when else would you find stone-washed jeans, blonde streaks and the word metrosexual being thrown around? In this episode, a friend and I take a little break from the overwhelming over-the-top-ness of the 00s to indulgently appreciate Hum Tum, a great example of something Hindi films genuinely tried to do at the time, but with varying levels of skill and success --- a) make a desi romantic comedy, and 2) do this without relying on Shahrukh Khan. What makes Hum Tum so special and rewatchable? Listen in and find out!
