Summary

Henry Cavill, Geralt of Rivia himself, joins us on this week's show, to talk a little bit about the The Witcher's second season and a lot more about fantasy books, Warhammer 40k and general geekery (24:34-46:54). In addition to Netflix's returning fantasy, we take a look at Gugu Mbatha-Raw's living situation as she moves in to David Oyelowo's rather terrifying apartment in The Girl Before on BBC1, and we find out what Carrie Bradshaw's been up to since Sex And The City in follow-up show And Just Like That on Sky Comedy (first episode spoilers exist between 1:21:21 and 1:35:58). PLUS we record a special drop-in to talk about the Succession finale (1:09:20-1:20:16), mull over the best will-they/won't-they relationships, and James manages to trample all over Beth's Ex Machina analogy and she refuses to let him cut it out.

Witch, The Witcher, himself, Henry Cavill, stopped by the show to talk about, well I was

0:32.8

actually going to say The Witcher, but that's not really true because we many talk about

0:35.6

fancy novels, Warhammer 40,000, and his enormous dog Cal, but nevertheless it is well worth

0:42.7

a listen.

I'm James Dyer, and welcome to The Violet TV Podcast, the penultimate regular Violet TV

0:49.3

Podcast of 2021, in fact, but all is well, because it is, as we have mentioned, Witcher

0:54.7

Week, and that is certainly cause, I would say, for celebration, and joining me, as we

0:59.2

do this, are my two Violet TV co-hosts, both of whom have been fully immersed in all

1:03.7

things, Witcher of late, which is exciting, Yethany of Swindonberg to my left here, and

1:08.6

Boyth the Mirror of the Squirtle here to my right, although more importantly, you're also,

1:13.7

you're not only Boyd the Mirror of the Squirtle, are you? You are the birthday boy, because

1:18.0

as we record today, Boyd himself is celebrating his birthday.

1:22.8

Oh, yeah, thank you very much. Thank you for spending it with us.

1:25.2

I mean, I would say it's a pleasure, and I mean, it is a pleasure, but I mean, I would

1:29.3

say I did it out of choice, but you've insisted. I mean, basically, like the fascist you
