The Most Disappointing Films of 2024 | Disclaimer, Emilia Pérez, Agra & 3 more! #140

Hello, Hello, HelloDhruv and Amartya’s first foray into this type of episode – that we have consciously avoided up until now – comes courtesy of our new QID member and admin of our Twitter page (https://x.com/qidpodcast) – Cris (https://x.com/limjaeseven).Rather than simply bash films released this year that we unanimously hated, however, we’ve tried to talk constructively about a variety of films that have proved divisive amongst critics and audiences. There are some high-profile projects directed by well-reputed auteurs and critically well-received at major film festivals that left all of us scratching our heads (Emilia Perez, Disclaimer, and Blitz). But other films – like Jigra, Agra, and, to a lesser extent, Malaikottai Valliban – divided opinion even amongst the three of us.Listen to the full episode to hear a spoiler-filled discussion and/or rant on these 5 films and 1 limited TV series as we – for once – try to make a case against valuing the auteur theory.TIMECODESIntroduction - [00:00 – 11:20]“Emilia Pérez” - [11:20 – 37:33]“Blitz” - [37:33 – 54:05]“Disclaimer” - [54:05 – 01:22:19]“Malaikottai Valliban” - [01:22:19 – 01:49:45]“Agra” - [01:49:45 – 02:23:18]“Jigra” - [02:23:18 – 02:41:26]Outro - [02:41:26 – 02:48:29]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to helpthe podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page:⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast⁠.Follow us on Instagram at:Amartya: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/amartya25/⁠Dhruv: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/terminalcinema/⁠Cris: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/prdscris/⁠Follow us on Letterboxd at:Amartya: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/amartya/⁠Dhruv: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/aterminalcinema/⁠Cris: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/crislim/⁠Audio Excerpts are taken from the promotional material for Emilia Perez, Blitz, Disclaimer, Malakottai Valliban, Agra, Jigra & Eyes Wide Shut.
