Awful and Awesome Ep 205: The Serpent, Tenet, Sudani from Nigeria
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
Taking about The Great Indian Kitchen in light of the “time inversion” concept from Christopher Nolan’s Tenet:
Rajyasree: I did not see why it was so great because...
Abhinandan: You may not have understood it.
Rajyasree: No, full I understood, okay. It has subtitles.
Abhinandan: I’m being patronising again.
Rajyasree: Again.
Abhinandan: Like Tenet, this is also...
Rajyasree: This is also temporal, she’s gonna walk in through the other door and that drumstick will not be chewed up.
Abhinandan: She uncooks. Instead of cooking she’s uncooking.
Rajyasree: So, she uncooks this bad lie that she has.
Abhinandan: (laughing) So, instead of an anda...
Rajyasree: You sound very bad, it better be a good joke.
Abhinandan: Instead of making anda she’s making da, because she’s undone the anda so it becomes da.
Rajyasree: I’m so thankful that you don’t have a humour podcast. At one point, so that everyone knows, Abhinandan thought he could be a standup comic, but all his friends got together and said...
Abhinandan: “People will throw andas at you!”
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss Christopher Nolan’s Tenet; Malayalam films The Great Indian Kitchen and Sudani from Nigeria; Marathi film & Jara Hatke; web series The Serpent; documentary series Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, and more.
