BrainBentMedia
Hey y’all, welcome to The Cosmosis, where your hosts Gauri Kohli and Abhimanyu Sharma discuss and unpack everything that falls under the occult and paranormal space - from cultural trends to excavating problematic superstitions—the cosmos is all about redefining the limit AND trying to answer questions that go on in all our heads.
In this episode, we try to explore the mysteries of the dream realm and how it impacts our waking life. Consequently, we navigate some interesting sleep-related phenomena—sleepwalking, insomnia, and sleep paralysis. Does sleep paralysis tie in with the occult/supernatural or is it simply hallucinations that sit at the end of our beds?
"hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"? Kabir Singh would suggest otherwise.
In this episode, we discuss the origins of the legend of Naale Baa and how it differs from its popular feminist film adaption - Amar Kaushik's Stree (2018). Plus, we chat about the gendered treatment of heartbreak tropes in digital media & film (Kabir Singh, Stree & Stranger Things), while touching on the double standard of the demonization of the "evil witch" or chudail.
Happy Listening!
In the second episode of the Cosmosis, we speak about personal stories, the kind of perceptions that Indian media perpetuates about the paranormal, and the intentional/unintentional othering within and of intersectional circles.
