Awful and Awesome Ep 286: Aftersun, Black River, Thor: Love and Thunder
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
Abhinandan asks Nilanjana if she’s a day person or a night person:
Abhinandan: Rajyasree, we didn’t ask you. You are obviously a night person because it will be strange to see a broom flying around in the sky during the day.
Rajyasree: Nilanjana is not going to encourage this kind of loose talk about my character.
Nilanjana: She has the most elegant broom in the whole sky.
Abhinandan: Elegant broom? Acha theek hai, maybe Arvind Kejriwal should get in touch.
Abhinandan, Rajyasree and Nilanjana burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen are joined by author Nilanjana Roy to talk about her book Black River, as well as the films Aftersun and Thor: Love and Thunder; and Rahul Gandhi’s interview with Curly Tales.
