The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeTalking about XXX: Return of Xander Cage.
Abhinandan: I remembered Deepika Padukone had done that, so I knew she would come in at some point.
Rajyasree: For 10 seconds.
Abhinandan: Dude, no! She has a very major role after that bald guy, what’s his name?
Rajyasree: She’s cleaning his house.
Abhinandan: Matlab, Asian can only be maids. You know you’re so racist. You’re a misogynist. A racist. You’re like antifeminist. You’re like a bad person.
Rajyasree: Unlike other racists who are good people?
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a lot more as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the movie Jojo Rabbit; commercials for Parle G and Facebook; music videos Dilli Wali, Yaad Piya Ki Aane Lagi and Aika To The Baika; and Woody Allen’s memoir.
