Note: Awful and Awesome is now behind the paywall!
While talking about The Truffle Hunters, Abhinandan explains how truffles are grown:
Abhinandan: Basically, you have to have that tree, you have to have a lot of wetness, lightning and chudail ke aasoo [a witch’s tears].
Rajyasree: So, in my garden?
Abhinandan: Whenever you cry, find an oak tree. And if there’s lightning, go and cry there. We will become millionaires! We will have truffle hi truffle.
Rajyasree: We won’t need subscribers only, we’ll be funded by morels.
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the films Pig and C’mon C’mon; documentary The Truffle Hunters; web series Broken News; the trailer of Darlings; and the Kaali poster row.
