The Awful and Awesome
Awful and Awesome Ep 256: Gaslit, Jungle Cry, Layer’r Shot ad
Rajyasree spots a typo in Abhinandan’s notes:
Rajyasree: You’ve just written things incorrectly. Amber Heard as H-E-R-D, that’s not her surname!
Abhinandan: H-E-A-R-D, Heard?
Rajyasree: Heard, yes.
Abhinandan: Oh, I was having a herd mentality!
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the film Jungle Cry; web series Gaslit; the Layer’r Shot ad controversy; Akshay Kumar’s controversial comments on history books; and the Depp-Heard trial.
PS: A fly is the third co-host of this episode.
