Awful and Awesome Ep 213: The Mauritanian, Maharani, Indian Summer School
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While reading a letter from a subscriber:
Abhinandan: “Abhinandan, I’m a huge fan of yours. I wish I was as articulate and funny as you.”
Rajyasree: Articulate?
Abhinandan: Clearly, Rajyasree...
Rajyasree: Oh, she doesn’t know the meaning of articulate. I’ll just...
Abhinandan: She doesn’t know the meaning?
Rajyasree: “Articulate” is not...You’re misusing the word.
Abhinandan: The word you are looking for is?
Rajyasree: Obnoxious!
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 The Mauritanian; web series Maharani; Channel 4 docuseries Indian Summer School; Baba Sehgal’s Tape of You; the Licious ad featuring Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor; and the Peugeot ad featuring Novak Djokovic.
PS: Don’t miss Abhinandan’s version of Shape of You.
