Ten Thousand Posts

This week, novelist and screenwriter Sufiyaan Salam comes onto the pod to talk about TENET, Christopher Nolan’s take on the spy thriller genre that continues to confuse audiences. Hussein and Sufiyaan talk about TENET as Nolan’s passion project, how his take on time travel makes the film unique, and whether you can watch a film to experience it, without thinking about it too much. Sufiyaan also talks about his debut novel, WIMMY ROAD BOYZ and gives an insight into his writing process, and the way that anarchic social media platforms informed the stylistic choices that has made his novel one of the most anticipated of the year.

This week, Hussein chats to London Centric editor Jim Waterson about his recent story about a real estate contractor making money on the side through racist and Islamophobic rage bait on TikTok. Jim talks about how his team tracked the contractor down using a comprehensive knowledge of British Bins, how his content fits into the broader milieu of fake immigration stories online, that are having a deep impact on British society and its politics, and why it feels near impossible to stop.

This is an unlocked bonus episode. You can find it, and many others like it, on our patreon! Friend of the show Oobah Butler returns to talk about his latest documentary, How to Make a Million in 90 days. Live from New York, Oobah tells us about the murky financial world he stumbled upon while making the documentary, filled with bored fintech CEOs and finance guys devoid of any real ideas, and desperate to make as much money as they can through exploiting attention and hype. We also talk about why this project may have been Oobah’s funniest, but also most depressing – and what happens when a documentarian has to confront a group of people who refuse to engage with reality, while using their wealth to manipulate the world around them.
