The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing Beckham:
Rajyasree: I really liked the documentary. (sarcastically) Because I’m a big fan of football, as you know.
Abhinandan: As all Bengalis must be.
Rajyasree: The last episode has all the footballers I know – Figo, Ronaldo, Zedan...
Abhinandan: Chima Okorie...
Rajyasree: I thought he was Bengali for the longest time.
Abhinandan: Yes, honorary Bengali.
(Both crack up.)
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the movies Khufiya and Fair Play, the documentary series Beckham, and the new Vimal ad.
