Talking 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.
