At the time of writing, Sara/Firecrotch-y has finished season 1 of Heated Rivalry and having cried during the penultimate episode, is now wondering if maybe the whole thing is a work of genius after all? Laughs and cries is the classic combo but cries and turn-ons? If this is the direction 2026 is going, we (I) don't hate it. Maybe the toppermost TV echelon is Sopranos, Succession, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and Heated Rivalry, but not for the dialogue, only for the wanks-'n-tears.

Not to oversell, but in this episode we've stumbled across one of life's big questions:If you move house and everything is still in some degree of chaos, and a very sweet man from Virgin Media comes to install wifi but then leaves his enormous bulky jacket behind, and the addition of this one big jacket tips you over the edge mentally, how long do you have to keep the jacket before giving it to a charity shop? Obviously Virgin Media has been contacted multiple times to say, "Hey! We've got this guy's jacket!"Firecrotch is on the verge of a mental breakdown, btw.Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSupport us, Firecrotch needs some form of private mental healthcare: https://www.patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by Annabel Port who is now all (or at least some of) the rage on the TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theotherbritishmuseum Hosted on Acast.
