Awful and Awesome Ep 369: CTRL, Joker 2, Ellen Degeneres special
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing CTRL:
Abbas: So Nainika, what did you think of the film?
Nainika: Well, I was definitely ‘whelmed’. Not over, not under. Just whelmed…
Abbas: (laughs) Such a passive aggressive review.
Nainika: I’m sorry, I’ve lost my buzz.
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abbas Momin and Nainika Singh Rathore discuss the films CTRL and Joker: Folie À Deux, the series Shogun, and the comedy special Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval.
