Today marks 3 decades of DDLJ, the romance that took Bollywood global. Re-sharing the video where I took @patrickhwillems.bsky.social to India to help him explore Hindi cinema, including this film and several more: youtu.be/BSRddWXSAA4?...

That’s because I made an earlier video on music biopics 6 years ago (which I cited in this one) that covered it extensively

Well enjoy your life of missing out and refusing to give things you might like a chance

You don’t have to pay for anything. The videos still come out on YouTube. This is just if you want them early/with no ads (plus all the other stuff on there)

The music biopics episode is finally out on YouTube. If this doesn't convince you all to watch Better Man then nothing will

Honestly I thought it was funny to scare people into thinking we suddenly added mid-roll ads, but fair. I might move it to the start of the video on Nebula and keep it in the middle on YouTube

Patrick Willems @patrickhwillems.bsky.social · Sep 16

In case you didn’t know, the videos are released a month earlier on Nebula, so why wait when you can watch the next one right now?

OH NO. I had it years ago and it was truly one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. It will be awful but the worst will pass quickly so just try to distract yourself as much as possible. Here’s to a fast recovery
