Ep814: TUMBBAD (2018) - Movie Review LIVE!
Spooky season continues with the movie you've been screaming for! By popular demand, we're continuing our dive into Indian cinema with a look at the 2018 terrifer, Tumbbad!
Inspired by S.S. Rajamouli's mind-blowing historical epic RRR, Ian and the gang are venturing into a cinematic genre unfamiliar to themselves--aiming to further their movie knowledge and bring greater attention to films that make American blockbusters look (even more) foolish in comparison!
India, 1918. On the outskirts of Tumbbad, a cursed village where it always rains, Vinayak, along with his mother and his brother, cares for a mysterious old woman who keeps the secret of an ancestral treasure that Vinayak gets obsessed with.
But that's just the beginning of this dark and layered story about greed and poisoned familial legacies. Ian and Mark "The Movie Man" Krawczyk plumb the depths of Rahi Anil Barve's surprisingly effective thriller and, thanks to several comments during the livestream, plant the seeds for next month's installment!
Tumbbad is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
