A chaotic, hilarious deep dive into the making of Problematic, the award-winning web series created by Pranav, Aditi, and this week's guest, Devin Fusaro. From chlamydia-mythology cold opens to behind-the-scenes drama, on-set chaos, fights, arrests, protest stories, donut sex scenes, audio-feed disasters, and Usama accidentally roasting crew members in their headphones, this episode is a full ride. Devin – actress, producer, organizer, and the third brain behind Problematic – breaks down how the show came to life, the wildest moments on set, why the series took over the festival circuit, and what makes modern media, activism, and millennial ambition so absurdly ripe for comedy. Whether you're into comedy craft, indie filmmaking, South Asian culture, New York chaos, or just want to hear how someone got dragged out of a trash can on camera and still made it to a film festival, this one delivers.

Mango Bae is back with indie rock legend Anand Wilder (co-founder of Yeasayer, now flying solo with his new album Psychic Lessons). In his record-breaking fourth appearance, Anand talks about making music in the TikTok era, why Cracker Barrel logos matter more to America than statues, and a wild Dublin story that proves everyone's racist (yes, even the Irish). He also unveils his absurd 1-800-BOG-PEOPLE hotline, blending surreal humor with sharp truths. It's music, madness, and Mango at its finest—equal parts hilarious, unfiltered, and dangerous.
Shaun (@thebrownshaun) was nice enough to come on the pod and discuss his new movie "Ben and Suzanne: A Renunion in Four Parts" (SXSW), which is having its theatrical premier on 7/18 and 7/19 at The Roxy in NYC! We also discuss good-bad movies, action movies as inspo, the politics of "being brown" and mkaing films, and more! Def check out his movie, it's great!
This week, we're joined by the incredible Pooja Reddy (Kutti Gang) who shares her wild past 24 hours—from opening for Nimesh Patel, doing queer material onstage for the first time, and accidentally coming out to her mom… on the way to a date with a woman.
