Awful and Awesome Ep 337: Merry Christmas, The Curse, Killer Soup
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing Merry Christmas:
Rajyasree: Where the film did not work was that Katrina’s English was too contemporary.
Manisha: It’s the regular accent she has.
Rajyasree: It could have been more Bombay. Not Salman Khan-Bombay. We don't know what that accent is.
(Both laugh.)
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen and Manisha Pande review the film Merry Christmas and series The Curse, Killer Soup, and First Act.
