The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing Ikkis:
Rajyasree: I don’t want to watch a war film… I am anyway a big peacenik.
Abhinandan: Could have fooled me!
Rajyasree: I don’t believe in war. I believe in whacking people.
Abhinandan: You believe in fighting. And just generally being an obnoxious, disagreeable person.
Leah (subscriber): Hand-to-hand combat!
Rajyasree: I don’t want to go to war with a Pakistani but if a Pakistani person came and annoyed me, I’d definitely wanna whack them.
Abhinandan: But that is not true for one nationality.
Rajyasree: All across…I am like John Lennon.
