Hi! Sorry! Forgot to write this post last night so hurrying it out before the actual start time.
Pushpa! On Prime! Watch it with me! I’ll put up an “and PLAY” comment at 7:30am and we will go from there.

Did we get an actual year stamp at any point? I’m feeling either late 80s or 90s.

The 10-year-old is on this kick that life isn’t fair because all a woman has to do to get a man to fall in love with her is wear a dress and have long hair, where it’s really hard for a man to get a woman to love him.

Oh dear. I feel like you need to give him an emergency Feminism shot.

No no no. It isn’t that he looks down on women. It is that he doesn’t understand sexual attraction. But he does like long hair, he likes to play with it.

My two year old nephew also likes long hair. And when his Mom wears her hair down, he says “today you Lady”. Versus every other day, when she is Mommy.

His partner, who he beat up, wouldn’t tell his family who beat him up. But his family overheard Pushpa talking about it so decided to kill him. But just before they shot him they were attacked by the smuggler that had been cheating them, who they then chose to go around. So everyone, smuggler and partners were after Pushpa and he was running away through the woods with a bag on his head! But of course he got the upper hand, and then didn’t kill one living member of the partner family who hadn’t yet been shot.
