Summary

This week's episode sees Joe Dempsie join us to talk all about his new show, Pieces Of Her on Netflix, as well as reflecting on sex scenes, intimacy and the pervading influence of Skins. Other than that, though, we have a particularly shambolic episode in which James, having come straight from an overnight flight with zero sleep and spectacularly failed to prepare, does his level best to derail the whole endeavour. But that doesn't stop us trying to reunite with Villanelle in the final series of Killing Eve on BBC1, watch Amanda Seyfried undermine the health system in The Dropout on Disney+, and chase demons with Courteney Cox in Shining Vale on Starzplay. All that and the team line-up their desert island streaming shows, Boyd and Beth have their weekly Euphoria rant, one of Boyd's famous friends calls mid-recording, and James falls asleep while Beth is talking.

0:36.9

a touch under prepared for the look I'm not going to lie to you, I don't know if it's

0:41.9

going on, I haven't seen anything, I don't even know what we're covering.

0:43.9

So let me put this in context slightly, I've come straight from the airport today, I have

0:47.9

not slept, I cannot emphasize that enough and I only have a vague idea of the shows we're

0:54.9

doing only from like the back and forth on the pilot TV WhatsApp group.

0:59.8

So you know, this is a good thing, this makes the show more suspenseful, I mean to me anyway,

1:05.4

so that's nice, but it's fine, it's fine because I am of course joined by my two co-host

1:09.9

who I very strongly hope are slightly more glued up as to what's going on because if not

1:13.9

this is going to be a really, really short episode.

1:15.9

Not really, I didn't get much to see it in our snacks, I was watching the outbreak of

1:18.4

World War 3 on CNN or 3D.

1:19.9

Yeah, it's been distracting, hasn't it?

1:20.9

Yeah, so that was very much distracted.

1:22.9

Anyway, I'm joined by a suboid of Hilton and then newly anointed Martianess of Hexham,
