The Awful and Awesome
Awful and Awesome Ep 223: The Father, Clickbait, Android Kunjappan Version 5.25
While reading a letter from a subscriber:
Abhinandan: That is such a good insight you’ve added at the end, just like Awful and Awesome, which panders to pop culture but always has one little profound wisdom at the end.
Rajyasree: I’m profound, you are the panderer.
Abhinandan: Obviously!
Rajyasree: You’re like a panda. Kung Fu Panderer!
Abhinandan: You have the guts to call my jokes bad?
Rajyasree: They are very bad. Are you gonna crack a joke now? Because I’m scared.
Abhinandan: Then what you just did with the Kung Fu Panda..It was the worst joke that has ever been cracked in the history of podcasts.
Rajyasree: No. Kung Fu Panderer is so clever. Because you’re sporty and you pander. Did you get what I did there?
Abhinandan: No!!!
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 award winning film The Father; Malayalam film Android Kunjappan Version 5.25; Netflix’s latest web series Clickbait; an ITC commercial; and pop group Abba reuniting after 40 years.
