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 The Old Guard:
Abhinandan: If Charlize Theron did an Alibaba film with Jack Ma...
Rajyasree: Hmm?
Abhinandan: If she made an ad for Jack Ma and she played a thief in it, it would be called Alibaba and Charlize Chor.
Rajyasree: Okay, we will get back to the film I was discussing so we cannot hear bad jokes.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the American musical drama Hamilton; Amazon Original series Breathe; Sony Liv series Undekhi; Netflix film The Old Guard; and Apple and WhatsApp ads. They also talk about stand-up comedians apologising for hurting religious sentiments.
Tune in!
