Aditya and Raj are joined by Abbas and Dr. Medusa to talk about the latest movie that is doing the rounds and what does good art mean? What does art need to do? Does it have a duty toward society and other such boring questions. They also talk about Modi Ji and his new antics like changing the name of MGNREGA to Pujya Bapu something and why.
