Awful and Awesome Ep 231: Old, Dhamaka, Promising Young Woman

Abhinandan explaining a conversation Rajyasree had with the podcast’s producer:

Abhinandan: She told our producer, “Uff, so and so has texted and mailed me. He’s a stalker!” I said if he was a stalker, he’d be the stocking...

Rajyasree: And then I bought a ticket with my own money for Switzerland and said, “I’ll just leave. My visa is still there, I'll just leave.”

Abhinandan: And you didn’t let me finish the joke. He’d be a stocking and that would be a sock in the face of those who called him a stalker. Get it? Like a stocking sock.

Rajyasree: I apologise to our listeners.

Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.

This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the films Dhamaka, Old and Promising Young Woman; the short film Atmanirbhar; Amruta Fadnavis’s version of the song Manike Mage Hithe; and the International Emmy Awards.

Song: 8 Raflaan
