About the show
A deeper dive into moving images, the people who make them, and the stuff that surrounds it all. "Picture Shuru" intends to be a podcast that is equally accessible to those who are casual and obsessive about films and shows. The idea is to look at the popular and the niche, and just why it consumes us in the way it does.
"Picture Shuru" is presented by Varun Oak-Bhakay, a writer/reader/dog-whisperer/traveller/film critic of scant repute but impeccable behaviour.
