  • Episode 25 - Namaste Wahala (SEASON FINALE!!!)
    Jul 10 2022

    We did it! We made it to 25 episodes and it's the season finale! What better way to end season one of the podcast with not only Nollywood, but Bollywood as well! That's what we have with this episode's film, "Namaste Wahala." A rom-com about a Nigerian woman and an Indian man falling in love with each other with supportive friends, but not-so supportive parents. This Romeo-and-Juliet type tale (minus the tragedies) combines the two cultures together into one of the first of its kind to cross-culture two of the biggest in the film industry. Filled with romance, drama, comedy and, of course, song and dance! However, despite the hype, does this film live up to its expectations?
