Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

Hello, darling babies. We would never abandon you*. We're just taking a moment to figure out how to keep you nourished now that the Jesse Armstrong rewatch is over. Press play, and listen to us talk through that, including an *incredibly* laboured sandwich metaphor.Email us: [email protected] (revamp INCOMING): https://www.patreon.com/c/THEYLIKETOWATCH* There are circumstances of either extremely good or extremely bad fortune in which we'd abandon you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If it is to be said, so it be... so it is.Welcome aboard, we're about to do the knock and invite Jesse up to our cabin for the full dirty on the season two finale, ‘This Is Not For Tears’ - does he have the vim, though?Are his toenails aesthetically pleasing? How many severed d**ks could he fit into his B-bag? And does he wonder if the sad he'd be without us would be less than the sad he gets from being with us?How much those of us who watched his show bear responsibility is for another day. But this is the day his reign ends.* If we come through this, is there a thing where we like talk to each other about stuff normally? [email protected]* Put in ten bil. Laird can put together the rest, and the exit horizon's like six years: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH* The show's brilliant.

What is the difference - is there a difference - between a generic bout of bad breath and simply stinking of a single food item? How offensive can we get when discussing the elderly? Especially given it's a demographic far closer to either of us than, say, youth. All this and more thanks to a single visit to a National Trust property. Plus we talk about Jack Thorne & Stephen Graham's new show Adolescence, which is truly a masterpiece, and we are VERY SERIOUS about it because being flippant felt weird. See Sara NEXT WEEK at Soho Theatre: https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/Write to us: [email protected] us financially, Sara needs to see this new podiatrist and SHE will tell her she needs new shoes: patreon.com/theyliketowatch Hosted on Acast.

We welcome everyone to today’s hearing, where Jesse Armstrong will be facing scutiny on the penultimate episode of season two.Is he unusually subject to the vicissitudes of public opinion? Do the phrases "human furniture" or "footstooling" mean anything to him? And is he now - or has he ever been - a member of the Cruise Dirty Sеxf**k Cover-up Party?So: Go hard. Go fast.

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten! From the Battery to the top of Manhattan! It's the perspicacious Firecrotch & Normcore reporting for duty, and we are back at the beginning of all things with THE CREATOR, Jesse Armstrong. In the first of our week-by-week rewatches, we establish a dynamic that says 'I respect you, but I'm not awed by you.' And that 'I like you, but I need you to like me before I can love you.' Did we bend for him? How much sage was burnt? And did he hit the million dollar homerun? It's a magnificent effort.

Hey nerds! We go fast and hard this week with the brilliant and hilarious Phil Wang to discuss his new Netflix special, Wang in There, Baby!

It's too early to talk about gourds, right? We hold on to the last vestiges of summer by immersing ourselves in Nantucket's Perfect Couple. (Is Sara the only one watching and thinking about how Nicole Kidman's Hollywood bestie is Naomi Watts, and Naomi Watts is also Liev Schreiber's ex-wife, and Liev Schreiber is playing Nicole Kidman's husband? Anyone? Bueller?) We delve into Couples Therapy too, of course, don't worry your pretty little heads. And our guest this week! It's only one of the world's - the world's! - best comedians, John Kearns, here to talk about his new standup special Varnishing Days. Correspond with us: [email protected] Sara with her overspend: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHEdited by a rejuvenated Annabel Port.  Hosted on Acast.
