ContributeAbhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen come together after two weeks for yet another episode of the Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap.
They begin by talking about Back to School Essentials, a Public Service Announcement inspired by the Sandy Hook School shooting. They discuss the recent Gillette advertisement starring Kanan Gill, Kenneth Sebastian and Sumeet Vyas. Abhinandan says, “If you’re making a jingle, it has to be memorable.” But this one, he adds, “is completely forgettable”.
Rajyasree brings up the Netflix series Unbelievable. While she is all praise for the article that inspired the show, she remarks, “More than the show, honestly, the article is brilliant.” Talking about another Netflix show, The Politician, she comments, “It is a commentary on everything.”
Abhinandan speaks about watching ‘Fleabag’. “It’s a phenomenal show,” he says. He also talks about the two movies he has watched in the recent past, Pet Semetary and Tumbbad.
The podcast ends with the duo talking about a music video titled India’s Got Colour. “It was just nice and catchy and it’s done without being preachy. But it wasn’t catchy enough for me to remember the tune,” Rajyasree concludes.
