“And if anything happens to the rose plants in my absence, then I will send you to hell.”

This week your Distinguished Professors take their first trip to Bollywood with the Back to the Future ripoff/ homage Action Replayy! Singing! Dancing! Subtitles! A super-hot mom! Topics discussed include even worse grammar for our opening, lowering. . . our voices, musical numbers and their diegetic role in Indian movies, weird credits, we’re always living in the past, time travel here is pretty much magic, plenty of misogyny, lots of blending of genres and tones, Supergirl with dance numbers, the A-list cast, Kundan is our Biff, the cuckolding of Kishen, a brief aside about Leto’s Joker’s suckiness, Bunty’s nerd shirts, Mala’s friend Mona and her weird pseudo-cougaring with Bunty, the video-ready first dance sequence, a Cyrano/ Roxannecomparison, Bunty gets the coveted “Good Job on Avoiding Incest” award, the ridiculous car chase scene, cheating is good (?), bribery is good (?), Bunty is bad at subterfuge, and a long digression into the concept of ostension.
