The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap Ep 184: The Trial of the Chicago 7, Scam 1992, and more
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
Talking about the Oppo ad:
Abhinandan: It ends with a line, “Let’s be the light in each other's lives.” So, on that note, Rajyasree, I have no idea what…
Rajyasree: I’m the light in your life, you’ll have to admit. I’m not the light in your life? My name means light of the kingdom.
Abhinandan: So nice. That kingdom of chudails you can go light up!
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss films The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Putham Pudhu Kaalai; the web series Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story; and the controversy surrounding the film 800.
Tune in!
PS: Abhinandan and Rajyasree go back in time to when they first watched DDLJ.
