Awful and Awesome Ep 251: Moon Knight, Metal Lords, Russian Doll S2

In the context of Russian Doll, Jude asks the panel what they’d do if they were stuck in a time loop situation:

Abbas: Are you talking about today? If today was happening over and over again?

Nainika: Any random day.

Abbas: I’m going to say something very depressing. But I mean, don’t we all live the same day over and over again? We wake up, dress up, and we go to work and then we hate our job and we’re sitting at our cubicle like “I’m going to do something one day when my dreams come true!” But then take a train commute back to the house and just...

Nainika: Oh God, Abbas!

Abbas: Sit in front of the TV and be like...

Nainika: Awful and Awesome was supposed to be about hope. What are you doing?

Abbas and Nainika burst out laughing.

This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abbas Momin and Nainika Rathore review the films Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood and Metal Lords; web series Moon Knight and season 2 of Russian Doll. Tune in!

PS. The hosts time travel to their favourite TV shows and songs. Beware or you shall enter the time machine.
