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 their favourite James Bond actors:
Abhinandan: This was I think about eight or nine years ago. He’s much taller in person than he looks. He looks slight.
Rajyasree: What do you mean, Abhinandan? He looks tall only.
Abhinandan: He does? Achha, he doesn't look like…he’s a biggish guy. There was this guy with this white dhaadi and a white mooch and shirt. He was pushing this pram and a lady was walking with him.
Rajyasree: You thought they had stolen a grandchild?
Abhinandan: I didn’t know who it was. My friend who was with me said that’s Pierce Brosnan. I looked and it was Pierce Borsnan, ya! I was like, “Now, what should I do?”
Rajyasree: What did you do?
Abhinandan: Nothing. I looked at him and continued walking.
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 film Serious Men; the true crime documentary American Murder: The Family Next Door; the short film The Discreet Charm Of The Savarnas; the James Bond theme song No Time to Die by Billie Eilish; and Bigg Boss Season 14.
