The Awful and Awesome
Awful and Awesome Ep 252: Thar, Slow Horses, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe
While talking about a documentary on Marilyn Monroe:
Abhinandan: You haven’t even watched it.
Rajyasree: Keep quiet, I know everything about Marilyn Monroe.
Abhinandan: Your insights are just useless. They are not even insights, they are “outsights”. Go outside.
Rajyasree: Oh God, it is so bad, I cannot even laugh. I am crying.
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 film Thar; web series Slow Horses; documentary The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes; the new Pepsi anthem; and the Punjabi song Farming.
