7 reasons why I love Mike Hannigan

Image
I have seen FRIENDS so many times that I feel compelled to write something as the show makes a one-time (and probably the last) comeback.  So getting straight to the point - Where is Mike Hannigan? Yes, Phoebe's husband Mike, the love of her life Mike. Shouldn't he have made an appearance too?  We all know by now that Paul Rudd isn't part of the reunion (was expecting him to guest star). I am guessing the Ant-Man is busy wrapping up his next,  Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania . But seriously, while this reunion is undoubtedly the best thing to have happened to die-hard FRIENDS fans, a lot of us are not happy about Mike missing from the reunion.  For someone who made his first appearance in the ninth season of a show that had already become huge, Paul Rudd managed to leave an indelible mark. In fact, Hank Azaria, the man who played David, revealed that he was supposed to end up with Phoebe. But Paul was so awesome and charming that they changed the storyline and gave...

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Reunion in India - What time to tune in?

Image
By now we all know that the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Reunion special is airing in India on the same date as the US. While it will air on HBOMax on May 27, in India OTT platform ZEE5 has bagged the rights.  Die Hard (Die Hard... Die Hard 😀) F.R.I.E.N.D.S. fans had been waiting with bated breath for information on when and where will the show be available in India. I for one thought that we might have to wait a few weeks before we are able to watch it here. But then ZEE5 dropped the news and Just Like That (sorry, I am a Sex and The City fan too), we were happy. Image courtesy: Hindustan Times So now for the timing. The show will air at 12.32 pm in India on the OTT platform. Yes, that's right, in the middle of the day. Initially, I thought it might air during the day in the US, so we might have to watch it in the middle of the night here. But the good news is that like all other standard OTT shows, it will start streaming at midnight PST, that is  at 12:01 a.m. PT.  I hav...

The Last Hour - A Scenic Thriller

Image
Amit Kumar's The Last Hour recently dropped on Amazon Prime Video. Before we go further, know that there will be some spoilers.  Sanjay Kapoor plays police officer Arup who has recently transferred from Mumbai to a town in Sikkim. Very early we learn that his wife Nyima, played by Raima Sen, is no more and he has moved to the town with his daughter Pari. The character portrayed by Shaylee Krishen feels eerie from the moment you set eyes on her. However, Dev, played by Karma Takapa, is the main character here. Dev is a shaman who holds a special power. He can travel through a dead person's last hour to learn the reason behind the person's death. He can talk to souls and helps them cross over to the afterlife. He does this with his brother's soul and is how he meets Arup. He then goes on to help him learn the reason behind an actress's murder which is where we are introduced to the lead villain of the show, Yama Nadu. He has apparently killed the actress and her drive...
