What an eventful week! Bridget Jones’s Baby, the sequel to Bridget Jones’s Diary, is out. Leena Yadav’s film Parched released. Netflix’s documentary on Amanda Knox’s controversial murder charges comes out on October 1 and in celebration of the Presidential Debates in America, Audi has a brand new ad that has Rajyasree Sen and Deepanjana Pal in a tizzy. Plus Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’s trailer launched to an explosive reaction:  Maharashtra Navnirman Sena have said they will not let ADHM release because of…Fawad Khan. Pal and Sen ponder on why Bollywood must be the only one to bear the brunt of breaking ties with Pakistan. Oh, and you have to hear what Sen thinks of the “Brangelina” divorce.

Up your pop culture game with a little help from these two critics. And as always, there’s a question at the end of the podcast. Send us your answers and comments to contact@newslaundry.com.
