Is The Bear REALLY a Comedy? Sep 16, 2024

Show notes

If you've ever watched The Bear then you'll have seen anxiety inducing moments of real restaurant culture, tense family shouting matches and a ton more drama... however at the likes of the Emmys awards and the Golden Globes it is considered a comedy. Why?

The West End is in rude financial health with musicals and plays proving as popular as they ever were, returning to pre-Covid success. A lot of the big West End successes are based on films or existing stories. Is there a lack of creativity in theatre, and will it hurt the art in the long term?

Richard & Marina wrap this episode by talking The White Stripes vs. Donald Trump. Jack White is suing the former American President for unauthorised use of a song, but he's not the first to take issue with their music being coopted by politicians.

Inside The Oasis Reunion Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

If you missed it, Oasis are back. Noel and Liam Gallagher appear to have buried the hatchet and reformed one the UK's seminal bands for a tour in 2025. Tickets for said tour sold-out but note without controversy. Richard and Marina discuss the ticketing situation and the possible reasons for the Gallagher brothers to get the band back together.

'Wolfs' starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt seems to be another flop from Apple. Why are one of the world's biggest companies still making movies?

Finally this week we get into toxic fandom. Singer / songwriter Chappell Roan released a statement expressing her discomfort at the level of attention some fans believe they are entitled to. This has caused a bigger conversation within not only her own fans, but in the wider entertainment world about the access fans have, or expect.

Matthew Perry & The Dark Hollywood Underbelly Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

Hollywood is a dream for many but a nightmare for others. Once you experience the highs of fame and fortune what comes next? How do you avoid being surrounded by those that don't have your best interests at heart? Matthew Perry's story can tell us a lot about how Hollywood corrupts.

Gen-Z royalty, Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, announced their separation this week. Their relationship, use of social media, and the way they're written about tells us a lot about modern celebrity.

Richard has noticed some rather odd headlines from The Daily Telegraph. He asks why they're framing stories in the way they are, who might benefit and he and Marina discuss who might be in pole position to how the Telegraph titles.
