We are getting wet in this episode, first up we need to celebrate White Gladis, the female Orca who’s made it her mission to attack and sink yachts and is now teaching other Orcas how to launch their own attacks, Good For Her! We follow that with Em and Michael’s full review on the live action version of ‘The Little Mermaid’, they’re throwing 10 out of 10’s at Halle Bailey’s entire performance, but they also have notes. Some of the new song inclusions left them shook, Triton was wearing a t-shirt instead of showing off his 6 pack and the greatest Ursula song ever has been edited! Thankfully Em and Michael decided to replace it with the full performance of the missing section in this podcast. Then we wanna talk about the finale of ‘Succession’, naturally if you haven’t watched it yet you’ll need to skip forward from 28.16 to 35.26 to avoid all the spoilers plus a shocking reveal about Shiv actress Sarah Snook DM-ing Em while she was watching it. Finally, Michael is about to jump on a plane and betray Em by attending Beyonce Live in London, so obviously we need to give him some more gentle ribbing about that before he bails.

The betrayals come thick and fast in this episode, in fact they bookend this chat and they both come from Michael, so prepare for much pearl clutching and dramatic inhales from Em. Our first betrayal involves Em’s personal mullet wearing musical hero and his brand new doco ‘John Farnham - Finding the Voice’. Michael may have seen it, with his mother, on Mother’s Day, so it's basically a gut punch right from the start for Em. Thankfully Michael gives us a full review and even offers up recommendations on how Em best approach seeing it for herself. That scandal absorbed we then need to talk Beyonce’s Renaissance World tour kicking off, Sweden not enjoying it enough and Michael gets put through a high pressure, on the spot, sing the chorus quiz of the tour setlist. Then Em and Michael play ‘Okay Stop’ whilst watching the new Architectural Digest YouTube tour of RuPaul’s LA Mansion. Finally, after a quick update on the TV shows and series they're both watching, Michael casually drops his second betrayal which is so shocking it rocks Em to her actual core. Will they ever be able to move beyond this shocking confession? Only time will tell, but also yeah sure, they probably have already right? Learn more about your ad choices.
