The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap – Episode 24

This week, Abhinandan Sekhri joins Deepanjana Pal on the podcast, which means we need to preface this with an advisory: some of the language this time is, ummm, strictly PG-16. Find out what Pal has to say about the criticism that some feminists had for Dangal and Sekhri’s favourite film of the year. Find out which was the greatest movie of 2016, according to our duo. Sekhri has a lot to say about Priyanka Jagga’s exit from Bigg Boss. And then we have the trailer of Blade Runner 2049, ad campaigns by Pampers and Dainik Bhaskar, and All India Bakchod’s high hopes for 2017 as detailed in “Peeke Mat Chala”. All this and more, discussed and dissected, for your listening pleasure.
