While talking about Beyoncé’s new album:

Abhinandan: She’s married to Jay-Z right?

Nainika: She is married to Jay-Z.

Abhinandan: Jay-Z has a really talented brother who… I mean who is just so unmotivated. He just didn’t make it as a producer.

Nainika: Who?

Abhinandan: Lay-Z (pretentious laughter).

Abhinandan bursts out laughing, Nainika is left speechless.

This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Nainika Rathore review the biopic Shabaash Mithu; web series Sandman and Masaba Masaba season 2; Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance; and the Google ad on 75 years of India’s independence.

PS. Nainika asks Abhinandan if he ever considered becoming a godman and the answer is worth listening to. Also, Abhinandan shares his disco playlist.
