We continue Indian Cinema Month, this year to coincide with launch of the Bollywood Cinema Club, our first all Indian cinema biweekly podcast, with a film that features Aamir Khan doing his best E.T. impersonation: PK. Starring the aforementioned Khan, he plays the titular PK who lands on Earth only to have the remote control that calls his spaceship stolen off his naked body. This sends PK on a journey to get home but also discover the true meaning of religion and what it means to be human.

Scary Stories We Tell's Jess Byard join Chris to talk about Aamir Khan, his childlike wonderment, and the naive take on religion the film ascribes to.
