Searching for Sheela, a new Netflix documentary about Osho’s controversial former aide Ma Anand Sheela, is a sanitised puff piece pretending to be a serious profile.
We discuss the superficial, slapdash filmmaking, the tone-deaf treatment of serious themes, and the curious lack of a director in what is a Karan Johar production.
Later, we dive into the trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and talk about the casting of Olivia Colman and Emilia Clarke in Marvel’s Secret Invasion.
