Hiiii, from London!



On today’s show: Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun? Let’s talk about that. Plus, the internet has thoughts on that Wuthering Heights trailer, Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming Willis gives a stunning interview to Vanity Fair, The richest lady on TikTok is married, and quick pivot - was Liam Neeson and Pamela a PR relationship after all? Oh, and wait. A woman stole a ball from a kid! You can’t make this up.



This week, Zara recommended listening to ‘Brené Brown Doesn’t Want to Be Your Self-Help Guru Anymore’ from the New York Times. Belly recommended Billy :)

Shameless

The Queen of RichTok gets married

Helloooo!



It’s the review you (/we, lol) asked for!!! 12 women, one man. Which contestant wins the heart of “Prince Harry”, AKA environmental consultant Matt Hicks? We watched all eight episodes so you don’t have to, and we have… so many thoughts. (Spoiler alert: mostly negative thoughts.)

Katy Perry's confusing career

Well ‘ello ‘ello from London! Welcome to our first Shameless Takes interview for 2025 – and what better way to kick things off than with the incredible James Acaster. 

In today’s chat, we discussed James’ ever-changing relationship to fame, how he decides how much of his personal life to include in his stand-up performances, why he pivoted from music to comedy (and back again, a few times over) and what he loves the most about making Off Menu with Ed Gamble.

A Man's Best Friend review and why Cardi B is getting sued

Hello hello!!

On today’s show: The Summer I Turned Pretty is EVERYWHERE. We wanted to explore the appeal of this show and why it seems to have taken off with millennial women in particular – how did it cut through when so many other shows have tried and failed? Also, The Summer I Turned Pretty has a reputation for being warm and fuzzy… so why has the show had to issue a request to viewers to please stop bullying its cast members? Or, should we say, one cast member in particular…

On today’s show, Mich recommended Weiner on Apple TV.
