Aamir Khan confirms 'Sarfarosh 2' in progress

Marc Maron, the comedian who pretty much kickstarted the comedy podcast boom with his iconic "WTF" show, is calling it quits after 16 years. He’s openly admitting he’s burned out and even seems a little regretful about how his success led to a flood of copycats. This is the guy who landed interviews with everyone from indie comics to Barack Obama, so his exit feels like the end of an era.

Editor’s Note: Maron’s burnout highlights the darker side of podcasting’s gold rush—what started as a scrappy, intimate medium has become oversaturated and exhausting, even for its pioneers. For fans, it’s a reminder that the early magic of podcasting might be fading, and for creators, it’s a cautionary tale about the grind behind the mic.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another festival entry—it’s a collision of high-caliber animation and deep artistic inspiration. Castillo’s take on Goya’s twisted genius could push boundaries in animated storytelling, and landing in Tribeca’s Official Selection signals it’s something special. For film buffs and art lovers, this is a tantalizing peek at where animation can go when it dives into the macabre.

Editor’s Note: Film festivals like Guadalajara are where hidden gems and bold storytelling get their moment—this lineup proves it’s not just about Hollywood blockbusters. For movie buffs, it’s a peek at fresh voices and cultural narratives that might not hit mainstream screens anytime soon. Plus, that "depravity" film? Yeah, it’s got people talking.
