Listen "Brad Astra"
Episode Synopsis
episode 35 is us in full-on catch up mode as we return from our brief september hiatus to cover some news & reviews of what we’ve been consuming for the last SIX(!!) WEEKS. it’s a long one, so buckle up!
in ~current affairs~ (2:34) we’ve address THAT harry styles rolling stone profile, that GQ brad pitt profile; there’s some swedish skarsgård drama and we touch on this year’s emmy awards where the brits swept the board. we also let you know that TIMMY SEASON is truly upon us.
on the TV front, we talk about netflix’s crime procedural ‘unbelievable’ (32:11), before moving onto movies where we discuss the jlo-fronted ‘hustlers’ (42:38) and the brad pitt space spectacle that is ‘ad astra’ (53:41). as ever:
after a small dive into taylor swift’s ‘lover’ (1:07:33), our main topic addresses one of steph’s areas of expertise: STEPHEN KING!
we begin with our review of ‘IT: chapter two’, (1:13:15) which leads into a more general discussion about the work of one of the world’s most prolific writers (stephen king, duh) (1:36:32). we talk about books, why some adaptations are successful when others fail and we share some of our favourite king page to screen transitions as well as yours too!
