Awful and Awesome Ep 397: Eden, All’s Fair, Rahul Gandhi’s coffee adventures
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing the headlines:
Rajyasree: In bad news, Paresh Rawal starrer The Taj Story has hit the theatres. The movie is accused of spreading the conspiracy that the Taj Mahal was originally a Hindu temple.
Abhinandan: In good news, Shahjahan seems to have cursed the film because it’s bombing at the box office…The best review I saw was that it is a WhatsApp forward made into a film.
Rajyasree: Vivek Agnihotri has not made this. Then it would have been The Taj Files.
Abhinandan: When we look back, this will be considered the golden age of Indian cinema.
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri review the series All’s Fair, the movie Eden, and Rahul Gandhi’s video about Columbian coffee, along with a music video recommended by a subscriber.
