Awful and Awesome Ep 360: Dune 2, Maharaja, Hijack
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing Maharaja:
Rajyasree: Watch it at home because you can’t look at your phone while watching it.
Abhinandan: Unless you understand Tamil.
Rajaysree: Watching a 2-hour-20-minute film became a 2-hour-50-minute film.
Abhinandan: Same thing with Dune. They made their own language for which you need subtitles. If I wanted to read so much, I might as well read the book.
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri discuss the films Dune: Part Two and Maharaja, and the series Hijack.
