While discussing Indian reality show The Traitors : Abhinandan: What’s the point of reviewing trash? Like what’s the point? Rajyasree: So, the reason why I watched it is because I have seen bits and pieces of The Traitors UK …They’re genuinely funny, they know that it’s campy, that it’s ridiculous that they’re walking around in a cape and all… Abhinandan: So that’s why we’re reviewing the Karan Johar version? Rajyasree: So, I wanted to see how India has – as usual – taken a good concept, a funny concept where you’re not supposed to be serious about it, and fucked it up. This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri discuss the movie Anora, Indian reality show The Traitors, documentary series American Manhunt, and the songs Tum Tum and Qatal .
