Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen are joined by Manu Joseph, author and creator of Netflix series Decoupled. Manu talks about the show, his other notable works and the film industry.
Manu: I find the OTT revolution interesting because it's the first time I belong to an industry which is not dying. Otherwise at the age of 20, I joined journalism, it began to die. Then I wrote a novel 10-12 years later in my early 30s; then I realised publishing is also dying everywhere.
Abhinandan, Rajyasree and Manu burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan and Rajyasree review the films Don’t Look Up and Atrangi Re, web series Decoupled, and the controversy around Sunny Leone’s recent video.
