The Awful and Awesome
Awful and Awesome Ep 193: Death to 2020, AK vs AK, and The Midnight Sky
Talking about The Midnight Sky:
Rajyasree: George Clooney has...I was going to say directorial debut, but it’s not. He’s directed Midnight Sky which is...
Abhinandan: But you can say it’s a debut. How does it matter? I don’t think you let facts get in the way of your sentences.
Rajyasree: (mocks Abhinandan laughing) That’s you, not me. Idiot! Huh...What is your new year resolution? You have to be nice to me for half an hour at a stretch everyday. Can you manage that?
Abhinandan: That means I have to deal with you for half an hour everyday?
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the films AK vs AK and The Midnight Sky; the British mockumentary Death to 2020; the web series Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors; the trailer of Madam Chief Minister; and the CRED advertisement featuring Jackie Shroff.
