Awful and Awesome Ep 239: Titane, Yellowjackets, The Tragedy of Macbeth

After Rajyasree compares the acting in The Tragedy of Macbeth to her performance in a play:

Abhinandan: You know, Rajyasree, you’re like Donald Trump. You’ll just pelo yourself...

Rajyasree: But I’m criticising my acting. I’m not saying I was so good. I feel he was so bad, he reminded me of how badly I acted. Unlike you, who would’ve said, “See! He’s a lot like me when I acted as Jude Law’s character in Closer.”

Abhinandan: I would never dream of doing that. I would never bring myself into this.

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 Titane and The Tragedy of Macbeth; web series Yellowjackets; and Charlie Puth’s new music video Light Switch.
