Show notes:
In this episode, we (and our desi co-watchers, through us) weigh in on whether or not this entertaining, funny film really makes good on its apparent promises.
Charles Adrian references the films Four Weddings And A Funeral (1994) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109831/), The Wedding Year (2019) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8367184/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt), Plus One (2019) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7645122/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0), Father Of The Bride (1950) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042451/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_8 ) or (1991) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101862/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0).
For anyone unfamiliar with the word ‘desi’, which we use in this episode, it is used to refer to people and culture of the Indian diaspora. For more information, you can visit the Wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desi.
Next month we will be watching Romancing The Stone (1984) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088011/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) and The Lost City (2022) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13320622/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1).
