Culture is 58 minutes of straight flow. Migos lose themselves in the music they’ve always loved to make. It’s triplets and trap, guns and coke, and some of the finest production Atlanta has to offer.

India Culture at it's Finest
I am a big big Bollywood fan!

I love the drama and the action, the singing and the choreographed dance, I love it all.

In 2014, a film called 2 states was released in the cinemas. Now, this film did have one of my favourite actresses, Alia Bhatt starring in a lead role so I was so excited to watch it.

I was not disappointed.

Script
Rap battle flick with tons of heart
A Brit movie about the underground Rap Battle culture but more than that this movie comes with a story that has a ton of heart.

I was sucked in instantly by the background of our main character and when we meet the supporting characters in the rap side of things it just cements the journey we are about to take.

Having Shotty Horroh in there just legitimised the culture they were trying to inhabit

The dialogue (0 more)
I liked a lot about this book. And I respect it 100% for how it influenced pop culture. But the dialogue was so dated (especially when the children were talking) that it really took me out of the story.

"Top to bottom, a perfect film – pure joy! Brittany Murphy was one of the greats. I just think the joy in that movie and, again, maybe taking a character that seems harder to empathize with out of the gate, and [having us] realize what a human being she is, and [it’s] an exploration of a different side of culture. As a Jersey girl, it was always very fascinating and fun for me to see that sort of L.A. kids’ culture and, of course, the fashion. I just miss the ’90s."

1973 | Comedy, Drama

"A total classic from George Lucas, pre Star Wars. It's the start of pop culture going retro, as it created a whole kind of rock & roll revival with records being reissued and that double LP soundtrack being released. It's the past informing the present so it's important in terms of pop culture and teen films. It influenced a couple of other movies that we're going to talk about later. And I love the music – 'I Only Have Eyes For You' and all those tunes. Fantastic."
