In this new episode of the Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap, hosts Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri talk about the 2019 Met Gala, the trailer of Sacred Games 2, two election music videos, and more.

From tracking the history of the Met Gala to deciding whether or not Abhinandan’s taste in sneakers is “Camp” or not, the duo discussed the “the party of the year” in details. This time, the theme was—Camp: Notes on Fashion. In Rajyasree’s opinion, “the frizzy hair” look of Priyanka Chopra made her look like the Hollywood actress Helena Bonham Carter, who Abhinandan thinks always “looks a little off”. However, he thought that Deepika Padukone looked magnificent!

The duo also discusses the new Pan Bahar advertisement, which they find incredulous. Although they agree that it is “as crappy as an ad can get”. Rajyasree says, “This is how India will overpower the world.” Abhinandan said this ad will help inspire people to join the para-commandos.

The next ad they discuss is one put out by Surf Excel. According to Rajyasree, it is a short, compassionate, well-made ad. In fact, one of the best ads she has seen recently. Speaking about the cast of Sacred Games 2, Abhinandan says that he is excited for it as he really enjoyed the first part that was written by Varun Grover.

Two new songs that they talk about are Raftaar – Phir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar and Rahul Gandhi’s Wayanad Campaign Song. The former between the two matches the funk of Congress’ Ab Hoga Nyay song, according to Rajyasree.

The panel also discusses Netflix’s new nine-part series Street Food and the popular MCU film Avengers: Endgame.
