ContributeTalking about The Mandalorian:
Jefferson: They’re going way back to when Yoda was a little baby.
Abhinandan: Oh my god! Are you serious, they have gone back then?
Jefferson: Yeah.
Abhinandan: Ok, good! I’m done. I don’t even want to go there. I’d rather die meeting Deepika Padukone and remembering Yoda the way he was. A wise old man. I don’t want to see a baby Yoda or an Old Deepika. I’m just done. I can die now. Ae rabb chakh le!
Abhinandan and Jefferson burst out laughing.
This and a lot more as Abhinandan Sekhri and Newslaundry subscriber Jefferson Simon discuss Netflix’s adaptation of the book series, The Witcher, by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. They also talked about Google’s Year in Search 2019, YouTube Rewind 2019, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Chhapaak, and a whole lot of other stuff, both awful and awesome.
PS: Abhinandan met Deepika Padukone, Vikrant Massey and Meghna Gulzar, and managed to get an interview. You cannot miss this!
