493 - RRR

<p dir="ltr">Time to rise, roar, and revolt as Paul and Arlo engage in some extreme piggybacking with S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR. This alt-history epic is the rare Indian film to make a splash in the Western world, and our boys approach it as only two ignorant white guys can: with almost no knowledge of Indian culture or film! Nevertheless, they are in love with the movie, which reimagines Indian revolutionary figures Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitarama Raju as superheroes who can outrun tigers, shoot a British bastard from a mile away, and stop motorcycles with their bare hands. The boys praise stars N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan, admire Rajamouli’s craft, and weep in awe at the insane shit happening in every single scene. Plus, there’s a trailer for The Flash and Arlo has finally gone back to reading old Superman comics.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">NEXT: TBD.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">BREAKDOWN</p> <p dir="ltr">00:00:44  -  Intro / Guest</p> <p dir="ltr">00:18:04  -  Main Topic</p> <p dir="ltr">02:03:24  -  Outro / Next</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">LINKS</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/rrr-ss-rajamouli-action-movie-phenomenon-tollywood/"> RRR: How S.S.
