CinemaWhen people say Kodi Ramakrishna’s ‘Ammoru’ had better VFX than ‘Adipurush’, they’re saying that it was a more rewarding experience, writes Sankeertana Varma. Visuals from Ammoru (1995) and Adipurush (2023)British actor Brett Goldstein has an interesting podcast called Films To Be Buried With, where he invites famous people and tries to get to know them through the prism of cinema. I sometimes pretend to play along. “What is the first film you remember watching?” is usually his first question. As someone with clinically poor memory, I shouldn't know the answer to this question. But I do. Any other film would have easily slipped through the cracks in my brain, but the memory of my almost-six-year-old self scared out of her wits is too fundamental to be forgotten. The terror of it all is sure to have exaggerated the experience, but the mental image is so potent that all I...

Brett Goldstein and Neil Goldman are two of the key voices behind the new Apple TV+ series, "Shrinking." Goldstein is the co-creator of the show with his "Ted Lasso" pal, Bill Lawrence, and Goldman executive produces with his past "Scrubs" collaborator. Together, Goldstein and Goldman wanted to produce a comedy about therapy. The story follows a therapist (played by Jason Segel) in a spiral and suffering from grief.
Goldstein, who hosts the excellent "Films to Be Buried With" podcast, wants laughs without ever poking fun at therapy. As Goldstein and Goldman told us, they have nothing but respect for the process and profession. It was important for that to ring loud, clear, and true in "Shrinking." Recently, the two writers told us how they worked with consultants to ensure authenticity, as well as why the classic comedy "Airplane!" holds up after all these years.
Note: This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and brevity.

An elated Brett Goldstein said he “was very, very specifically told I am not allowed to swear,” if he won, which he did Sunday, nabbing the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Ted Lasso. Working on the show, he said, “has been one of the biggest honors and privileges… and pleasures of my life.”
The British actor plays potty-mouthed soccer ace turned commentator turned coach Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, the AppleTV+ phenomenon that’s become the nascent streamer’s new calling card, has nabbed it for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
His cantankerous character with hidden depths was an Emmy favorite competing in a field of eight contenders where half were from Ted Lasso.
Nods for Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), Nick Mohammed (Nathan) and Jeremy Swift (Higgins) might well have resulted in vote splitting, which makes it hard for one actor to emerge from the pack victorious.
