Well RBP fans here we are officially in year 9 of this silly experiment/exercise/curse that won't be lifted until we finish every dumb SRK film.  And boy it does not get dumber than this.  So appropriately for this time of year, please join us in our discussion of Happy New Year, a terrible movie experience all the way around.  Come for the (drawn on?) 8 pack, stay for the unnecessary anti-Asian racism!

ROBOTS! Amiright!?! Anyway - Shah Rukh Khan made another movie that almost made us burn down the entire podcast but just like G-ONE, we rose from the ashes in bad cgi and too much make up to put this dog and pony show together. ENJOY!

In 2010, Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar really thought they did something with possibly one of the most offensive movies we have ever watched on the podcast. Friend of and relative of the podcast, Iman Jafri guest hosted with us to try to make some sense of this hunk of garbage.

A wise man once said that "Om Shanti Om" is a love letter to Bollywood and that wise person happens to be Fahad Masood who is mocking Farah Khan who actually was the wise woman who said this or maybe it was a film reviewer. Who knows! What we do know is that this movie is fantastic!

HEY! We are kinda back! We decided to dust off the old mics to talk about the latest happenings in Shah Rukh Khan world like his lil boy getting caught up with the wrong crowd, allegedly, but also its a ploy against SRK because he's Muslim, allegedly, but also, how about that cricket? Some of us are really into that, allegedly. And you know what bothers us? Still Priyanka Chopra. Anyway, it's nonsense as usual! Enjoy!
