Abhinandan: Rajyasree, not today, but I will review this show soon...I think I watched it a little late...Made In Heaven.
(producer cracks up)
Abhinandan: (stares) Our producer just laughed...What’s so funny?
Rajyasree: Why did you watch Made In Heaven?
Abhinandan: It was recommended.
Rajyasree: Yes, four years back!
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the movies Woman of The Hour, Girls Will Be Girls, and Heretic, Shyam Benegal’s cinema, and the new Kim Kardashian music video for Santa Baby.
PS: Abhinandan also recommends a new Punjabi song, so do tune in to the full episode.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
