Episode 17: Summer, Sports, and Rod

This week on Two Ginger Gems, it's summer, sports and Rod and honestly, it doesn't get much better than that. The World Cup is finally here, Kate's backing Scotland (the Braveheart team of 2026, until they're inevitably out next week), and the Knicks won the NBA Finals. Rod Stewart at the Hollywood Bowl was everything Paul Simon was not - 25 bangers, not one miss. James has a story about Keanu Reeves on a roof and the Batmobile at Television City. There's a wild Netflix documentary called Maternal Instinct, new TV series Cape Fear with Javier Bardem doing terrifying things Kate finds inexplicably attractive, Point Break gets a classic movie shoutout, and Angry, Raucous, and Shamelessly Gorgeous at the Geffen is worth seeing right now. Plus, the Isabella Blow biopic is finally happening, David Hockney and Gene Shalit have passed, Solvang is the summer day trip you didn't know you needed, and Brighton does something magnificent with Fat Boy Slim and a tunnel full of fascists. The card this week is Isolation, and it's a good one.🎬 New episodes every Tuesday | Like & subscribe!Links:Maternal Instinct:  https://www.netflix.com/tudum/maternal-instinctCape Fear:  https://tv.apple.com/ca/show/cape-fear/umc.cmc.377zdzwefgtzkvykexeca9qrcAngry, Raucous, and Shamelessly Gorgeous:  https://www.geffenplayhouse.org/shows/angry-raucous-and-shamelessly-gorgeous/Solvang:  https://solvangusa.com/Isabella Blow Short:  https://variety.com/2026/film/global/russell-tovey-olivia-colman-alexander-mcqueen-isabella-blow-1236744392/Point Break:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_BreakTo Leslie:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_LeslieIce-Olation Card:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/t2JKmDg6Xv1SKisY8@twogingergems
