31. Rishi's Ruined Republic + Earth Mama Review

In our penultimate episode before the the Christmas break, we take a deep dive into the political news of the week including Rishi's obsession with boats and the US and her baby mum, the UK and their relentless quest to remain on the wrong side of history. Plus, we're film critics now guys...we give our first film review of Savanah Leaf's debut independent film, Earth Mama, which you can watch at your local Picture House.
