Ep 110: Game Of Thrones, Reason and more


Listen Later

In this episode of The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap, hosts Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri discuss Reason, Game Of Thones, some political songs and ad campaigns, and a lot more.They start off with Anand Patwardhan’s Reason, a documentary split into eight parts, which they conclude is to attract a digital audience. The documentary is about the hate spread by Hindu organisations and how they're responsible for the murders of Govind Pansare, Narendra Dabholkar and Gauri Lankesh. Abhinandan says the film looks like it was made in the 1980s and calls it "boring". But he adds: "What I like about this is that I had followed the Dr Dabholkar murder, you see a lot of footage of him which I haven’t seen on television … what was a revelation for me was what a brilliant and articulate man he was and how beautifully he debunked godmen and stuff.”Moving to Game Of Thrones, Rajyasree gives a sneak peek into the first episode of Season 8. She says, "All the characters were pretty much shown in the first episode." She also found it a little disappointing, considering the long wait for its release.The discussion moves to BBC's documentary podcast Mumbai Mirror, which is on the life and work of a newspaper before the elections. Both think it was very well put together. Rajyasree says it captured both feel and flavour, adding: "It's not just about election reporting ... it's mainly about the running of this newspaper."The conversation shifts to political music videos and ad campaigns like #MyFirstVoteForModi, Chunega Kya and Acche Din Blues. Both Abhinandan and Rajyasree intensely disliked #MyFirstVoteForModi—which is intended to reach out to young voters—and call it "terrible". On the flip side, Abhinandan praises Chunega Kya and Acche Din Blues in terms of their production value. On the latter, he says, "...it's an excellent piece of audiovisual communication, an excellent piece of cinema, the singing/narration is amazing."For this and a lot more, tune in!
