Sakina Jaffrey

Damian and Anne welcome the inimitable Sakina Jaffrey to this week's show. You Might Know Her From House of Cards, The Mindy Project, Chutney Popcorn, Timeless, Sex and the City, Raising Helen, American Gods, and Daylight. Sakina regales us with stories of her artist stock, with actor parents Madhur and Saeed Jaffrey and musician stepfather Sanford Allen, playing Mindy Kaling's mother, working with Kevin Spacey, her iconic episode of SATC, and then blows our fucking minds with the lesbian trope we didn't know existed. You know what we're gonna say? It was a delight. Also, please leave us a GD review, kittens.
