  • These Movies Were Our Teenage Sexual Awakening (Yes, Really)
    May 9 2025

    What do movies like The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, George Of The Jungle and Cruel Intentions all have in common?

    Well, they are all heavily featured in this episode about the unexpected movies and TV shows from our childhoods that sparked a sexual awakening.

    From slightly embarrassing confessions about animated characters we fell in love with (don’t pretend it hasn’t happened to you), to movies we really shouldn’t have been watching as kids and childhood classics you’ll never look at the same way again. Please enjoy this slightly NSFW episode.

  • Weekend Watch: A Sexy Crime Drama, A Feel Good Rom-Com & A Thrilling Apocalypse Series
    May 8 2025

    Welcome to Weekend Watch, where we give you the heads up on the best new TV shows and movies that have been released this week.

    This week, we have to talk about the return of one of TV’s most beloved franchises (think apocalypse vibes) and a must-watch comedy series from the creator of Knives Out.

    Plus, three of our favourite actors, Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, and Kelly Marie Tran, have teamed up to star in a new movie, and now we desperately need to discuss it. Along with an unmissable new series starring a very sexy (and crime ridden) Jon Hamm.

    Read Chelsea Hui's review of The Wedding Banquet:
    Bowen Yang's new movie will make you want to call your family.

  • The Beckham Family Are Feuding & The Stages Of Dating Tom Cruise
    May 8 2025

    On the show today, our feeds have been flooded with images from this year’s Met Gala but there’s only one photo that truly matters, because it’s hooked on the greatest celebrity feud of all time.

    Plus, we cannot ignore the truth any longer...the Beckam family is currently locked in an intense family feud. The feud is seemingly hooked on Victoria and David’s oldest sons, our favourite nepo babies, Brooklyn and Romeo. Now allow us to explain to you exactly what’s happened.

    And Tom Cruise has a very famous new girlfriend, and since we know exactly what the stages of dating Tom are (thanks to his other famous girlfriends) we have some notes/warnings for her before things get too serious.
