Mindy Kaling's comedies have been extremely formative for us: From her early days on The Office to her latest Hulu series Not Suitable For Work, we've been fans in both personal and professional capacities. We're taking a look back at her career and getting personal about how she's helped shape our artistic journeys. Also...happy birthday Mindy!!#mindykaling #mindyproject #notsuita...

The end of HBO's 'Hacks' got us reflecting on '30 Rock,' 'The Other Two,' 'The Studio,' and more.

Abdullah Saeed's crime comedy starring Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, and Poorna Jagannathan returns to Hulu for Season 2. The six episodes deliver on what made Season 1 so fun, but we're hoping for extra depth (and more of one specific character) if there's a Season 3!

Co-creator of last year's breakout hit 'Adolescence' Jack Thorne is back with a new series on Netflix. This time, he's adapting the classic novel that Proma and Radhika both read in high school: ‘Lord of the Flies.’ They get into classic literature, art that pays homage to the 1954 book (like their beloved 'Lost' and 'Yellowjackets'), and whether this needed to be a...

Welcome to the first installment of PROMRAD RECOMMENDS, where we pitch a show that the other person hasn’t seen and hope to sell them — and you! — on watching. Today, Radhika discusses ‘Shrinking’ just in time for the third season finale, and Proma talks all things ‘St. Denis Medical,’ which is now streaming on Netflix in addition to its home on NBC!  #tv #shrinking #stdenismedical #nbc #peacock #...

With studio mergers and AI being the talk of Hollywood in 2026, Rebecca Roberts and Kurt Szarka have a vision for a different path forward -- one that's rooted in independent filmmaking. They joined Proma and Radhika to chat about their new venture, ReadyMade Productions, and the studio's first feature film 'Brother,' which Rebecca wrote based on her own experiences navigating a lo...

Proma and Radhika both recapped Hulu’s ‘Tell Me Lies' weekly, so it was only fitting that we got together to unpack the Season 3 finale (which we later found out was a series finale). Viewer/listener discretion is advised as this episode contains discussions of mental, emotional, and sexual abuse. Note: This was recorded before Hulu and show runner Meaghan Oppenheimer announced that Season 3 w...
