Hi everyone,
We are back with the 12th episode of Talking Pictures, and we have another episode of Auteur Archive, in which we discuss the one and only Martin Scorsese, one of cinema's greatest artists.
We love his movies, his film appreciation, and his film archival work, so we talk about all of that. We discuss his early movies—Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, and Raging Bull—along with his cinephilia and how he inspires us to go to the theatres and seek and talk about movies, his Film Foundation work, his Marvel opinions and what we think of it. Cinema will be forever indebted to him.
We were joined by Dhruv from The Queen is Dead podcast and Akashdeep, a filmmaker, who will join us for the other Scorsese recordings as well.
We also have a voice note from Vikas from Australia about Scorsese and what he loves about his films. You can send us voice or text notes about Scorsese or how he has inspired your love for films, and we will include them in the upcoming episodes.
Reach out to us on your Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_talking.pictures_/ and DM us there so that we can figure something out.

Hi everyone,
Welcome to Episode 11 of the podcast, where Arijit and I are joined by Ekata, Dhruv, and Dipanjan; who's appearing for the first time.
This is the first time we are discussing horror movies on the podcast. I am not that big on horror but the others are and we together discussed our first trysts with horror films, scariest and memorable horror movie experiences, including those on the big screen, and everything horror from Stephen King, Aahat episodes to which Suspiria is better.
We also discuss different controversial horror opinions. It was so much fun. We are going to do deep dives on horror subgenres in future episodes.

Disclaimer - We had audio issues while recording this episode. Since we had guests, of course, we couldn't possibly re-record this. We have tried to correct the issues as much as possible, but they still remain. Apologies for the audio quality in advance.
Welcome to another episode of Talking Pictures. This week we are joined by three guests - Soumya - who has been here on our 2023 favourites episodes, Runcil, and Ekata - both of whom are appearing for the first time (hopefully not the last). We discuss one of our favorite directors - DAVID FINCHER!
We talk about what we love about him and what makes him great, and everyone talks about a particular film from his filmography that they like.
I hope you like the episode, and let us know your favorite Fincher film in the comments! See you next time.

Hello hello to everyone who's listening in.
We are back after an unintended break of 7 months due to a lack of time to record together.
In this episode, we discuss the most anticipated movies from the recently concluded Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, and like always, we deviate and segue into other topics like how Corporate Greed affects cinema, Film Schools and their pros and cons, and geek about every single director whose films we have picked a little.

We are back with the second part of our 2023 Roundup where Arijit, Tuhin, Soumyajit and Dhruv discuss some of our favourite films from the last year.
Tighten your seatbelts for a lot of off-topic Claire Denis discussion, and a debate on the ethics of telling indigenous stories.
Apologies in advance for the small disturbance/glitches you might encounter.

Hi, hello, everyone - our lives had us occupied but we could finally assemble to record another episode.
Dhruv and Soumya join us for this episode where we each discuss a favourite film from the past year. This is the first episode of a few of these (we hope to record and upload those soon) because 2023 was a great year for films and we loved many movies (we haven't even seen all the movies we wanted to).

We are back after a delay to discuss BARBENHEIMER - the phenomenon and the films, with two friends - Oppenheimer-rewatch record setter Shaswata and Dhruv from The Queen is Dead podcast.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Talking Pictures, our new podcast where we talk about moving (and talking) pictures.
In our very first episode, Arijit and Tuhin talk about how the idea for the podcast came by, and about films that pay tribute to the love for movies and filmmaking, with a special focus on Damien Chazelle's new film, Babylon.
