Hello, fellow nudie turtles.Napkins on heads to mask the shame and heighten the pleasure as we feast on tasty morsels from Succession's groovy hub.Want the freaky-deaky truth about Tom's black eye? Has Jesse been snubbed - IS THIS A SNUBBING? And can we depend on Jarmstrong's vote for Team Future? Let the minutes reflect that Sara was asked to recuse herself.It's good to hear your voice: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comLet us judge for ourselves if being rich is f**king great: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast.

Boo!Did we getcha???Happy spooky Hallowe'en, everyone. Sara hatches a plan to go as Chappell Roan (whose name she just had to Google ), before deciding against it. She’s up to some truly scary stuff with coconut oil too.Plus: 'No Hard Feelings', 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story', another episode of 'Disclaimer', 'Janet Planet', and Billy Crystal tries his hand at horror in Apple TV's 'Before' - but is there enough pumpkin in his paprikash?Scrawl a message in blood on our bathroom mirror: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comTrick or treat! https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast.

Hello! This week, we're transatlantic, like a pair of Freddie Laker mother-effers. Sara is in the suburbs of Chicago, and wants to be left alone. Geoff is in Stoke Newington, and wishes he wasn't being left alone. Somehow, remarkably, we can watch the same TV.

Hey hey hey, my people!Time for another peep through our (smeared) window into the mind behind 'Succession', Jesse Armstrong. We wouldn't say he's the man, but if there were a man - hypothetically - he might look a lot like Jesse.This week, it's episode 3, 'Lifeboats', and a trio of major players enter the stage: Sandy Furness, Stewy Hosseini and Mondale... um, there's no way Shiv is allowing a dog to have a surname. But he's basically a Roy, in all but name.Oh, and we found Roman's personal trainer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brockyurich/profilecard/?igsh=enMzaHdzYXo5cHpkStay strong, stay in touch.* We want each and every one of you to be innovating, challenging, being bold, being disruptive, bringing us new, original, multiplatform content: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com* Not all of us are born into good ease: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast.

Hello! I apologise if my bell summoned you. It's FireCrotch & Normcore here, with another funky chowder! The rewatch with our dear acquaintance Jesse Armstrong continues with season 1, episode 2, Shit Show at the Fuck Factory. Dear Jesse, talk me through your feelings on titles? Am I thinking about it too much? Like the people who thought all the orange in S3E8 was a signal that Kendall was dead? How much analysis is TOO much analysis? I JUST WANT YOU TO LIKE ME. And what about Lawrence's omelette nipples? If you need us to go get sandwiches or coffee OR step up from regional parks and run North America, we can and we will, and that's just an offer on the table.

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten! From the Battery to the top of Manhattan! It's the perspicacious Firecrotch & Normcore reporting for duty, and we are back at the beginning of all things with THE CREATOR, Jesse Armstrong. In the first of our week-by-week rewatches, we establish a dynamic that says 'I respect you, but I'm not awed by you.' And that 'I like you, but I need you to like me before I can love you.' Did we bend for him? How much sage was burnt? And did he hit the million dollar homerun? It's a magnificent effort.

Hey nerds! We go fast and hard this week with the brilliant and hilarious Phil Wang to discuss his new Netflix special, Wang in There, Baby!

It's too early to talk about gourds, right? We hold on to the last vestiges of summer by immersing ourselves in Nantucket's Perfect Couple. (Is Sara the only one watching and thinking about how Nicole Kidman's Hollywood bestie is Naomi Watts, and Naomi Watts is also Liev Schreiber's ex-wife, and Liev Schreiber is playing Nicole Kidman's husband? Anyone? Bueller?) We delve into Couples Therapy too, of course, don't worry your pretty little heads. And our guest this week! It's only one of the world's - the world's! - best comedians, John Kearns, here to talk about his new standup special Varnishing Days. Correspond with us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comHelp Sara with her overspend: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHEdited by a rejuvenated Annabel Port.  Hosted on Acast.
