While discussing The Royals
Abhinandan: You’re saying Bhumi Pednekar is good in this? Is she the redeeming factor?
Rajyasree: No, she's horrible in this…But it has worked in her favour because everyone has logged on and watched the show.
Abhinandan: Why?
Rajyasree: Because it’s so bad. Everyone trashed it so everyone logged on and watched it.
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the series The Royals, the documentary Flintoff, and multiple subscriber letters. Abhinandan also recommends his new favourite Punjabi song.

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?
