The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
Talking about the last scene in the film Army of the Dead and Huma Qureshi’s character:
Abhinandan: I’m shocked people watched this film.
Rajyasree: (Laughs) I liked it!
Abhinandan: I’m very sad that Huma did this.
Rajyasree: I was thinking of you because I know of your fondness for Huma Qureshi. Now explain this to me: they rescue her in the helicopter, then what? Where did she go? She just vanished. Last scene there’s no Huma Qureshi.
Abhinandan: She was taking a breather maybe.
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 films Asuran and Army of the Dead; Netflix series Alma Matters; the Eurovision Song Contest 2021, and Greenpeace UK ad. They also pay tribute to three music directors – Shravan Rathod, Raamlaxman and Vanraj Bhatia.
PS: Abhinandan also talks about when he met Dave Bautista.
