Shut Up I Love It

In this special family episode, Steven's sister Lauren Cohen and her husband Rudi Greenberg sit down with Steven and Sasha to defend THE BOLD TYPE, a TV show on Freeform that is definitely trying to be SEX IN THE CITY for Millennials. Why would a grown cis male like Rudi watch this show? Does Steven know what a "slice of life" means? And what the hell is "diet woke"? Listen to find out.

Musician/filmmaker Andrew Haworth (theme music for SHUT UP I LOVE IT) practically forces Steven and Sasha to put on their film critic hats as they dive deep to discuss the strange/creepy/funny Taiwanese film THE HOLE (1998), directed by the auteur Tsai Ming-liang. Should the title of the film have been Big Trouble In Little China? How many times has Andrew seen it (hint: it's more than once and less than three times)? How often does Steven bring that up during the recording? Listen to find out. Check out Andrew's music on Spotify! And his film Party Crew on Amazon, Vimeo and YouTube!

TV writer Howie Kremer (LET'S GET PHYSICAL, FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY) and actress/comedian Tracy Meyer (THE REAL O’NEALS, COMMUNITY) sit down with Sasha and Steven to discuss STRIKE BACK, a British/American TV show airing on Cinemax and its archetypal hero, "a p***y hound with the heart of gold." Do Tracy and Howie have a special dance for the show's theme song? Does Sasha approve of STRIKE BACK's Russian accents? And how do they shoot all those graphic sex scenes (think tapes and pillows)? Also, the hosts and the guests recommend Matt Berry's TV show TOAST OF LONDON, films PEPPERMINT and THE VILLAINESS and a very special brand of chips.

Emmy-winning comedy writer Nick Cron-Devico (ROBOT CHICKEN, CLARENCE) drops by the studio to try and convince Sasha and Steven that LOVE ISLAND (UK) - not to be mixed with LOVE ISLAND USA! - is one of the most fascinating TV phenomena of all time. How closely does this reality programme resemble the Stanford Prison Experiment? What's Sasha's deeply personal connection with the show, by way of its presenter Caroline Flack? How many hours of television does Nick watch every night? Listen to find out. Also, Steven recommends nonograms (especially picross), and Sasha speculates that "Pasha: Autobiography of TV's Hottest Dance Star" by Pasha Kovalev might be worth checking out (?) But definitely check out ROBOT CHICKEN Season 10, premiering on 9/29/19 on Adult Swim. Both Nick and Sasha were writers on it! Email us at [email protected] with comments.
