In our first episode of Desi Talkies, our hosts Ananya & Aneesa introduce themselves, how they know each other, and how Desi Talkies came to be. Coming from "rival" cultural backgrounds, our hosts comment and analyze Pakistan-India media relations.  And most importantly, they do an in-depth film review of Saim Sadiq's "Joyland," a 2022 Cannes Festival award winner. The film has taken the world and Pakistan by storm with its beauty both in its visuals, and its overall messaging. With the censorship issues revolving around "Joyland," Ananya & Aneesa talk about the flaws and hypocrisy within censorship laws in South-Asia. Finally our hosts carry this in-depth analysis with a scene-by-scene analysis, casting breakdown, and assumed meaning behind the breathtaking shots. Listen to the full episode for more background on "Joyland" and to hear our Desi Talkies rating and review!
