A Conversation with Rahul Kohli

Flanagan's Wake | A Mike Flanagan Podcast

Show Notes

Hey folks! Last week, we got the chance to sit down with the incomparable Rahul Kohli for a far-ranging chat. We talked about his time working with Mike Flanagan on Midnight Mass, Bly Manor, and upcoming projects (I tried to get him to admit that he would make an incredible Roland Deschain, but alas... no secrets revealed). I also couldn't resist getting him to chat about about his first TV role as Ravi in iZombie. We also spend a lot of time talking about video games because who doesn't want an excuse to talk about video games? Thanks so much to Rahul for taking the time to talk with us. This was such a blast. We'll be back next week as we begin Mike Flanagan's The Midnight Club!

This week on the show, we are taking a look at Brian De Palma's classic adaptation of Carrie. It's a weird, wonderful movie that only De Palma could make. It also made it clear to us that there was still so much more story to tell here. If possible, we're even more excited about Mike's adaptation. Discussion Question: What is a better TV release model? Releasing all episodes at once (binge) or week to week. Next week, we take a look at the 2013 Carrie adaptation.
