Awful and Awesome Ep 217: Malik, Feels Like Ishq, LFG
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
Reading a subscriber letter regarding the Ep 215 mystery:
Abhinandan: I didn't know Guldar is the name for a leopard. Guldar sounds like a flower.
Rajyasree: Wo dekho Guldar khil rahe hai!
Abhinandan: Aaha!
Rajyasree: Then the Guldar kills you. Arey Guldar ne maar diya! I can write a good wildlife documentary.
Abhinandan: You’re like a tat Doordarshan-like filler.
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 Malik; the series Feels Like Ishq; the documentary film LFG; Tesher’s song Jalebi Baby ft Jason Derulo; and Cardi B’s WAP.
PS. Don’t miss their reactions after listening to WAP.
