Awful and Awesome Ep 265: Old, Darlings, Olivia Newton-John
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While talking about Olivia Newton-John in Grease:
Rajyasree: So, I used to sing this song Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee. But I used to sing it as Look At Me, I’m Rajyasree. And it was very cute, I’m just saying.
Abhinandan: It was very cute, really? Okay, I won’t say anything. See? I’m turning over a new leaf.
Rajyasree: I won’t sing it on this show but I’ll sing it for you. Even you’ll say, “How cute Raju!”
Abhinandan: (sarcastically) I’m sure I will.
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen review the films Darlings and Old; the FanCode ads featuring Ravi Shastri; Pepsi ad featuring Jacqueline Fernandes; the #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha trend; and the legacy of Olivia Newton-John.
