Show overview
Ajay Discusses Movies has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 93 episodes. That works out to roughly 45 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 25 min and 33 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 10 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 43 episodes published. Published by Ajay Thakkar.

Ep 398The 2026 Academy Awards
EThe 2026 Academy Awards was a near 4 hour long award show that had plenty of twist and turns. I wouldn't recommend re-watching it in its entirety. book recommendation: Salman Rushdie - Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder https://bookshop.org/shop/ajayandnathan
Ep 397Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride!
EDespite a stellar cast and some memorable performances, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! is a tediously dull film that misses on the horror and the humor, but will eventually develop a cult following in the coming years. Book Recommendation: Jay McInerney - Bright Lights, Big City https://bookshop.org/shop/ajayandnathan
Ep 396John Patton Ford's How to Make a Killing
EWith just the right amount of campiness and adventure, How to Make a Killing is a fun dispensable film that will entertain you throughout its runtime. Book Recommendation: Nick Cave - The Death of Bunny Munro https://www.bookshop.org/shop/ajayandnathan
Ep 395Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights
EAn emotionless, soulless film despite a great cast, Wuthering Heights overstays its welcome with a daunting 2 hour 16 minute runtime. Check out the bookshop.org link where I recommend Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire. My favorite Nabokov book and one of my favorite books I've ever read.
