In this episode of The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap, hosts Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri discuss Criminal Justice, Traitors, the trailer of Joker, and the political campaign songs of the Congress and BJP during election season.The podcast kicks off with Rajyasree telling us about a new Hotstar series, Criminal Justice, which she feels is suspenseful but also unrealistic and implausible in parts. She says the actors are good, except "doped-out Jackie Shroff".Our hosts talk about the newly-released trailer of Joker. They agree that Joaquin Phoenix is one of those actors who really becomes a character. While Rajyasree appreciates the trailer as it gives nothing away, Abhinandan finds it to be a case of tedious repetition, saying "they're all the same”.They move on to discuss the campaign songs of the Congress and BJP. Rajyasree says that Congress’s song Ab Hoga Nyay is a "well-made music video and a catchy song”. Abhinandan thinks the Congress's production value was higher, though "the BJP has more money". In the BJP's song Main Bhi Chowkidar, he says he's disappointed with the line "yeh ek a kela nikal panda main iski katar hun". He says, “When you’re making a music video … in any mass communication exercise, there should be the sense of 'team'. Not ‘you are king, I am your dust’.” He says the AAP started the concept of catchy political songs, even though they had very little money. Tune in for more!
