Insurance Price Hikes, Internet Bills & Zombie Reddy Review
from This Show is Awkward · host Henrique Couto
Recorded in February 2021, Henrique celebrates two unlikely milestones: ordering 1,000 plastic forks and reaching the end of his introductory AT&T Fiber price. Michelle's disbelief at both purchases quickly turns into a comparison of what the hosts were paying for internet service and how useful faster upload speeds can be when Henrique delivers large movie files.From there, the pair trade personal stories about car insurance, homeowners insurance and rising property taxes in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Michelle describes a cycle of rates increasing until she shops for a different provider, while Henrique recalls a confusing coverage-history problem and a long sales call that eventually helped him switch insurers. Their prices, policies and regional comparisons are snapshots from 2021—not financial, legal or insurance advice.The episode's movie centerpiece is Henrique's enthusiastic review of Zombie Reddy, a Telugu-language Indian zombie comedy that the conversation repeatedly but incorrectly calls Bollywood. He liked its humor, characters and wildly staged set pieces, even though its forced-feeling ending disappointed him. The review includes plot spoilers involving a family feud, COVID-era satire, fictional vaccine experiments, zombie gore and a desperate attempt to disguise a human scent.Henrique and Michelle then debate whether zombies should be able to smell living people and compare different versions of the undead in Dawn of the Dead, The Walking Dead, Shaun of the Dead and Return of the Living Dead. Henrique closes with spoiler discussion of Songbird, the dystopian pandemic thriller about a harsher imagined lockdown. It is a time capsule of early-2021 bills, insurance frustration and COVID-era genre movies—with no current prices or health claims implied.LinksEmail the hosts: [email protected]
