We have a real conversation about an underrated gem from 2022: Joyland, by Pakistani screenwriter and director Saim Sadiq. We discuss the writer-director's deft filmmaking in realizing the tensions and misfortunes of a patriarchal society. We also point out the jarring developments in the story, admonishing the infuriating decisions of all the repressed male characters. When we go on tangents in our conversation, we celebrate Salina's purchase of her first car.
