The Big Sick
I really enjoyed The Big Sick, arguably one of the best comedy-dramas of the year. Well, over the festive break, the film, based on the true story of a Pakistani comic who meets an American graduate student named Emily at one of his stand-up shows before she falls ill and into a coma, was apparently uploaded in its entirety to adult website PornHub.
The film star and co-writer Kumail Nanjiani was the person who spotted the leak, saying in a tweet: “For those of you who wanna watch #TheBigSick with your families & don’t have Amazon Prime or can’t afford to purchase it: The whole movie is available on Pornhub. Don’t ask me how I know. It’s under ‘interracial’. This is not a joke.”
Pornhub responded via their official account saying: “Kumail, we are trying to find it to remove with no luck. The whole Pornhub team is frantically looking through “big sick” videos on Christmas Day. Thanks!”
The comedian responded: “Oh no. Oh. Oh no. I didn’t mean it should be removed! Enjoy your Christmas! You’ve brought joy to so many people! You deserve this break! “.
You can read our original review of the film on the site over here. The Big Sick is now available Stateside on Amazon Prime Stateside, and on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK. We suggest you check it out.
