Our spotlight on Indian cinema roars into 2023 with a look at Sanal Kumar Sasidharan's Ozhivudivasathe Kali (An Off-Day Game)!

Inner demons begins to unravel when 5 friends get together for a booze party in a remote location.

Ian, Mike, Mark, and Jeff dig into this slow burning drama that raises a mirror to issues of masculinity, class, and politics in a way that few films do. It's got the attitude of The Hangover, the creepy, deep-woods danger of I Spit on Your Grave, and the unsettling man-child monster nihilism of Lord of the Flies. Despite all that, this is a really fun conversation!

Plus! We talk about what's ahead in 2023 (Pathaan, anyone?), and unleash some angeRRR over the Academy's near-shutout of S.S. Rajamouli's masterpiece!
