The Awful and Awesome
The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap Ep 141: The Two Popes, citizenship law, Knives Out, and more
Talking about how pop culture is a part of political discourse, Rajyasree explains what propaganda is:
Abhinandan: Oh, that is what propaganda is. I thought it was…
Rajyasree: It’s propping up people?
Abhinandan: …a rhinoceros that went to finishing school!
Rajyasree: Oh, like that! Ganda, you’re saying.
Abhinandan: Well, the audience got the joke about five minutes ago, and the penny is still dropping.
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a lot more as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the films Knives Out and The Two Popes, the new BMC commercials by Lowe Lintas, how celebrities have responded to the Citizenship Amendment Act discourse, Salman Khan as Pepsi’s new brand ambassador, and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome.
