10. Monsoon Wedding

This week on Blessed Picture we begin on a brand new mini series we call BlessedGiving; where each week we discuss a film recommended or "blessed" by a notable director. Joined by culture writer Radhika Menon, Shelby and Skye discuss their pick from Barry Jenkins's Criterion Closet appearance - Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding. How does Monsoon Wedding tie into Jenkins's work? What does a film like Monsoon Wedding represent in the cultural landscape? Does Peacock, the NBC Universal streaming service, actually exist? Does this film join Teen Witch in the "Kid Brother Character Hall Of Fame"? Is the titular monsoon an additional character? PLUS Skye and Radhika join forces to attempt to guess the plot of Cape Fear in this week's What The Plot? The good, the beautiful, and ensemble cast of it all are all discussed on this week's episode!
