While talking about Ana de Armas’s preparation to play Marilyn Monroe in the film Blonde:

Abhinandan: It’s like how young Indian boys and girls lock themselves in a room and study for IAS for eight months.

Rajyasree: She has studied for this for sure!

Abhinandan: She locked herself in the room and went to Batra classes or Aakash classes or whatever classes, where she only watched every expression of Marilyn and replicated it.   

Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.

This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the films Blonde and Ticket to Paradise; web series Hush Hush; Hasan Minhaj’s stand-up special The King's Jester; and the new podcast What The Hell Navya.

Song: 12 Bande
