  • Summary

  • 'The Way We Were' connects the dots between the past and the present to reveal that cinema, popular culture, all forms of artistic expression, politics, and music are purveyors of ideas and impulses that reveal to us what we most need to learn about ourselves. The podcast revisits films, songs, watershed moments in art, culture, society and politics to show how a thread of continuity runs through them all and connects them inextricably to each other. Rich with nostalgia, trivia, lived anecdotes, and the larger meaning of events that are making news and impacting the zeitgeist, 'The Way We Were,' is about the pixels that make the big picture, exclusively on The Podcaster.

    The misogyny that you once saw in crime shows, oozing from the rancid mouths of criminals, is now loud and proud. Post the US elections, two men walked onto a Texas university campus with signs that read: "Women are property".

    The recent incidents involving a self styled mobster and Salman Khan are indicative of just how easy it is to target the industry - sometimes for money and sometimes for notoriety that is mistaken as fame.

    One thing, however, is very clear.

    The three-part documentary, 'Angry Young Men- The Salim Javed Story' (Amazon Prime Video) affords us an intimate glimpse into the homes and family dynamics, of Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, positioning them as the only definitive voices of Hindi cinema.

    But let's not forget the other writers who came before them. Writers like Rajinder Singh Bedi, Abrar Alvi, Khwaja Ahmed Abbas and Rahi Masoom Raza who not only enriched Hindi cinema but also gave us a nuanced vocabulary to discuss love, loss, injustice and human values.
