    The Late Shift
    2024/11/18
    In the latest episode, we dive into an underrated film that captures the legendary battle for late-night supremacy with wit and gravitas. Each person has their own favourite Jimmy, it’s either Kimmel or Fallon but never both. Conan O'Brien may have pivoted to podcasts and perhaps, headlining that oddball travel show but the highlight of his CV remains being one of the most compelling hosts on TV. No one loves Meyers, everyone misses Trevor Noah and few may have managed to pull off a remarkable second innings like Jon Steward. Yes, you’ve guessed it! We’re talking exclusively about those TV hosts who’ve ruled over late-night television with their astounding wit, fluid interviewing skills and that distinguished chutzpah. And in today’s episode of Lost and Found, we’re delving into a film that’s based on the real-life rivalry between two talk show hosts in the 90s – yes, we’re alluding to the 1996 film, The Late Shift.

    Churni Ganguly plays an author in exile as her work threatens the political establishment in Nirbashito . It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that we live in extremely divisive times. The level of intolerance and rejection of ideas and ideologies that don’t concur with our own has to be unprecedented.

It’s one of those rare films that strikes a delicate balance between artistic storytelling and emotional resonance, while remaining just as relevant even today.

  • Hands of Stone - De Niro elevates this sports biopic that skips the sports movie tropes

    Hands of Stone - De Niro elevates this sports biopic that skips the sports movie tropes
    2024/09/19
    Hands of Stone depicts the gritty, multifaceted life of Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán Sports films often follow a familiar playbook, sticking to tropes and clichés: the underdog triumphs, the fall from grace, and the dramatic comeback in the climax. From Rocky to Remember the Titans, these films tend to focus on predictable narratives of resilience and redemption. While these formulaic elements can be inspiring, they sometimes strip away the complexity of real-life sports stories.
