We're back with an episode of our quote unquote fortnightly podcast, in which we review 'Everything, Everywhere, All At Once' - a vehicle for the gorgina Michelle Yeoh and for art that resonates with the mayfly, maximalist, melancholy of our time. Tangents include Joaquin Phoenix's Wikipedia page, the phrase "the whore of Babylon", and Jameela Jamil's bayang; albums under review are Rosalía's 'MOTAMAMI' and James Blake's 'Assume Form'. Next up: 'Utopia' by Bjork. As always, feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Darling listeners, we're rounding out a week of takes on the Osc*rs with our own two cents! We discuss Anthony Hopkins' autism, the erotics of The Slap, plus the night's most notable crimes: the robbing of Dame Olivia Coleman and Ms Kirsten "Kiki" Dunst! For all our fans of felons, we get into Ezra Miller's crusade against karaoke renditions of 'Shallow'. Finally, we share the spotlight with two albums in review, FKA Twigs' 'Caprisongs' and Smokey Robinson's 'Being With You', which give Zoë Kravitz walking through a nightclub and island gyal vibes, respectively! Stay tuned for next fortnight's episode, during which we'll be reviewing Pulp's 'Different Class'. Do you have a least favourite Amy Schumer joke, suggestion for our next episode, or do you just wanna hear Murray and I belt the soundtrack of 'A Star is Born' (for which cameos could be arranged for a fee)? Tell us tell us tell us at [email protected].

You ask, we answer vibes! We're back with another episode featuring all the brilliant, thought-provoking, unnerving, and everything in between questions that you posed to us over Instagram.

We're soaking up Spring with an episode recorded on location during a beautiful day at Bakoven. We discussed the latest in viral discourse — the case of one Dawn Dorland vs. Sonya Larson, reported on in The New York Times last week, that raises some of the most pressing questions of our time: What are the ethics of borrowing things from someone else's life in your art? What makes one a writer? And, does slapping yourself count as self-harm? Come for the art criticism, and stay for the review of Belle and Sebastian's album 'Tigermilk' (plus, seagulls). Email us at [email protected] with your thoughts on the Dorland vs. Larson saga and any suggestions for albums to review!
