EP59. January Grab-Bag Episode: Barbies, Traitors, Poor Things & Character Comedy

For the lucky ones who presented this podcast to Episode 59, they have the chance of winning a life-changing amount of low-key kudos. But if a Traitor remains undetected, they’ll steal all their credibility... So, Adam and Jo, are you Faithful, or are you Traitorish Behaviour? Smith & Waugh return for their first episode of 2024, taking a mediumish dive into the phenomenon of character comedy and considering the satirical potential therein (with reference to Garth Marenghi, Alan Partridge and Brian Butterfield), checking in on the Barbie-Ken-Oscar discourse, before having a big old chat about whether the film Poor Things is satire.
