    This is to Cronenberg what Irishman is to Scorcese.

    It has been memed to death the cute "haha, just read about menstrual pains, I'm 6'2''" aspect of Pushkaran. He has always come off as an apologetic male feminist always trying to deconstruct and historicise the gendered landscape of Malayalam genre cinema while still trying…
