ContributeTalking about Tiger King and Joe Exotic’s conviction.
Rajyasree: So, I read about Joe Exotic in January, when he was convicted for 22 years.
Abhinandan: Couple of things, Rajyasree Sen. He has not been convicted for 22 years. He has been convicted of attempted murder, or whatever. He has been sentenced to 22 years. You are not convicted in the duration of years or months, you are convicted for a crime, and the sentencing is in the unit of time measurement.
Rajyasree: What would I do without you, Abhinandan.
Abhinandan: Probably a really mediocre podcast.
Rajyasree: So funny!
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a lot more as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the movies Contagion and The Expendables 3; Netflix’s documentary series Tiger King, and Badshah’s Genda Phool, among other things awful and awesome.
PS: Apologies for the sound quality. We are working on improving it.
