While talking about Beyoncé’s new album:
Abhinandan: She’s married to Jay-Z right?
Nainika: She is married to Jay-Z.
Abhinandan: Jay-Z has a really talented brother who… I mean who is just so unmotivated. He just didn’t make it as a producer.
Nainika: Who?
Abhinandan: Lay-Z (pretentious laughter).
Abhinandan bursts out laughing, Nainika is left speechless.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Nainika Rathore review the biopic Shabaash Mithu; web series Sandman and Masaba Masaba season 2; Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance; and the Google ad on 75 years of India’s independence.
PS. Nainika asks Abhinandan if he ever considered becoming a godman and the answer is worth listening to. Also, Abhinandan shares his disco playlist.
