Michael Gets Epically Rear Ended

It’s the SMS that brought much delight to Em, Michael got rear ended by a van on his way to work, and sent an “I’ve been epically rear ended” message to alert Em to that fact. You’ll hear all about it as we start the pod, with a side quest on Beyoncé being a capitalist by name dropping brands in her songs. Then it’s onto Em’s newest obsession, Guy Richie’s new Netflix TV series ‘The Gentlemen’, which is light years better than the bad accents we get in his original movie version of ‘The Gentlemen’. Somehow that spins off into Em regaling us with all the saucy hookups she witnessed happening between the gay men at her local swimming pool, with added recollections from Michael. There’s the upcoming Anne Hathaway movie ‘The Idea Of You’ to get excited about, plus props for Emma Thompson’s ‘Good Luck To You, Leo Grande’. We also get mental side quests on sing-gers and Kylie and Madonna on stage together and separating an artist's problematic history from their art. Then in the Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and Michael update their thoughts and feels on the Kate Middleton situation, talk Oprah’s upcoming weight loss doco and there’s even more F1 frothing to deliver.
