Awful and Awesome Ep 395: Homebound, The Paper, Two Much
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing the sitcom The Paper:
Abhinandan: It’s not a compelling watch. I would have abandoned it if I did not have to review it.
Rajyasree: I had to watch in five sittings. Could not watch 10 episodes in one go.
Abhinandan: You usually watch 10 episodes in one go? That’s why you’re like this?
Rajyasree: I usually watch from midnight to 4 in the morning.
Abhinandan: Which is why, like Modiji, you’re not getting enough sleep. You’re not taking rational decisions.
Rajyasree: I get up early and play with peacocks!
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri review the series The Paper and Two Much, the movie Homebound, and the song Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai.
