Mississippi Masala
Episode 5
Sunday, 18 January, 2026

Denzel month continues with Michelle's pick, Mira Nair's 1991 tale of identity and romance, Mississippi Masala! We discuss our expectations going in vs. the actual experience of the film, that incredible first kiss scene, how the film tackles the ideas of race and citizenship, the parallels between this and Shakespeare and why Denzel shines in any role he is in. Also: Supermarket names! The Three Stooges! Michelle's fashion inspirations and a little blue weirdo drops by. Check it out!
