Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider moves Hamlet to Kashmir in 1995: Shahid Kapoor's Haider comes home to find his father disappeared, his mother, played by Tabu, drawing close to his uncle, played by Kay Kay Menon, and Irrfan Khan bringing word from the dead. The episode lands on a hard question: does telling the Kashmir conflict through Shakespeare serve the subject or trivialize it, and what happens to a tragedy that changes its ending?

In a Kulturecast crossover, Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, and Spencer Parsons (filmmaker) talk Shakespeare and the colonial legacy, the ghost as one of the disappeared, Aristotle, Oedipus and what tragedy is for, Shraddha Kapoor's Ophelia-Horatio figure sidelined in the second half, a "to be or not to be" about a whole people, and Bhardwaj's zooms.
