The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap Ep 128: #TheSpy, #TheSkyisPink, PalPalDilKePaas and more
In this episode of Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap, hosts Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen talk about the Netflix miniseries, The Spy, trailer for the upcoming movie The Sky is Pink, Bollywood newbie Karan Deol and his movie Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas.
They begin the podcast with Sacha Baron Cohen’s The Spy. Rajyasree notes, “It’s not particularly gripping,” however, she also adds, “Watch it to see Sacha.” Abhinandan also talks about another series ‘Fauda’ which he doesn’t like much as he says, “It’s not that great, it’s okay.”
They move on to discuss the ad campaigns by Absolut Vodka and Samsung. Rajyasree, while talking about the Samsung ad says, “I understand the thought is very good and noble but the ad is over the top.” Abhinandan, on the other hand, appreciates the ad and the concept of the App and jokingly adds, “Felt that lump in the throat feeling or maybe it was the Delhi pollution.”
They talk about the trailer of The Sky is Pink, lauding the change in air in Bollywood. Talking about the same, Abhinandan says, “It makes you want to watch the film.” They also talk about sexual harassers and the larger debate of excluding the art from the artist. In this context, they also talk about Roman Polanski and Amir’s decision to work with Subhash Kapoor.
The podcast ends with Abhinandan’s quintessential Punjabi song recommendation which Rajyasree warns you to refrain from hearing.
