sharing opinions is not new to us. this week, we deepdive into satire, with the case study of bastards of bollywood. what is satire, especially in digital content? what are good examples of bollywood satire? why is bastards of bollywood just not good? what expectations should we, the audience, hold from creators? why is farah khan a genius? why is selling out so tempting? we share half baked research, many anecodtes, and strong opinions. if you had the time to watch bastards of bollywood, you better be watching this then.
note: this time the drinking game is for 'satire' - stay hydrated!
