The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing Abhinandan’s appearance in Monsoon Wedding:
Rajyasree: So I watched Monsoon Wedding. The last time I watched it was when it was released.
Abhinandan: Did you pause in that scene where I’m asking for Bacardi and Coke?
Rajyasree: You’re not there.
Abhinandan: Okay, fine. I’m not there.
Rajyasree: No! On YouTube it’s very difficult to go back.
Abhinandan: So that means I’m not there.
