Rajamouli's newest movie is more than 3 hours long.  Can't recall the last time I watched a film that long and walked out of the cinemas wishing it was longer.  Loved it.

Film critic Josh Hurtado joins us for a deep dive of RRR as we try to unpack the film's goodness, Rajamouli's arc, and the film's traction outside India. We chatted about our favorite moments from the film, the magnetic charisma of Ram Charan and Tarak, the ridiculous action set pieces, the stunning sound design and how all the VFX/CG wizardry feels nicely wrapped around the film's emotional core.

Josh also shared his take on why he believes that Rajamouli, truly feels like the only candidate for an Indian filmmaker on the verge of an international breakout.
