Awful and Awesome Ep 243: The Batman, Jugaadistan, Servant of the People

While talking about the series Servant of the People, Nainika Singh Rathore asks Abbas Momin what he would do if he gained political power.

Nainika: Do you think you’d make a good war time general? Like you know if a war breaks out…

Abbas: Not at all. No.

Nainika: Ok fair (laughs).

Abbas: I will be in my bunker hoping nobody disturbs me.

Abbas and Nainika burst out laughing.

This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abbas and Nainika review The Batman; web series Jugaadistan, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky's TV sitcom Servant of the People and Tabitha Lasley’s book Sea State: A Memoir.

PS: The hosts talk about their college life, their favourite Batman and draw comparisons between the series featuring Zelensky and the Ukraine situation.
