Talking about a New York magazine story on a teenager who was cancelled.
Abhinandan: It's a conspiracy.
Nainika: This is a conspiracy against you?
Abhinandan: Wasting my week.
Nainika: But then what do I plan to achieve through it?
Abhinandan: Just, you guys are sadists, all of you. Jude, you, and Rajyasree.
Nainika: So you think the world is stacked against you?
Abhinandan: I’m Diego*!
Abhinandan and Nainika burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Nainika Singh Rathore review the films RRR and Spiderhead; web series Under the Banner of Heaven; Beyonce’s Break My Soul single from her upcoming album Renaissance.
* The 17-year-old protagonist of the New York magazine story.
