In our weeks off, we've not been doing nothing.

We've actually lined up loads of amazing interviews for you.

Yes, we have.

A girl is a half-form thing. We have the sculptus of Conrad Shorecross who makes these amazing mechanical huge constructions robots as well. Yeah, we're even going to go to a studio and record the sound for you. Excited about that. Who else? Well, today. Today is who else. Today is a big one. Today is Jude Law. Old Blue Eyes. The actor. I'm sure you've heard of him. Old Blue Eyes. Needs no introduction. Needs no introduction. So we're going to hear from Jude Law and we're also going to be talking about Donald

Trump and the architecture of Doom.

So Griselda, we're back in the studio.

Yes, we are in our lovely padded blue cell. Yeah, paint a picture, so we're surrounded by four walls. Blue walls. Yeah, navy blue, with a big clock, which always freaks us out because we always run out of time. A big flashing red sign saying Mike Live. Yeah, so do you feel podcast, Rusty? We're back. No, no, I feel excited. I feel good. I've been listening to lots of podcasts in our six weeks off.

S-Town, obviously. S-Town has been a big hit, yes. S-Town from the makers of cereal. Although I would say not as good as cereal. That was a lot better. Yeah. John B. McLemore, interesting character, though. If you haven't listened to Estown, it's quite interesting.

I normally listen to loads of football podcasts about Arsenal's capitulation,

which happens at this time every single year

has uh mean yeah so i'm listening to it's too painful yeah i can't listen to it anymore anyway aside from

podcasts you turned 30 yes i did thanks for wishing me a happy birthday or rather forgetting to wish me a happy birthday. Yeah, I do feel bad about that, but there's shout outs to make up for that. Yeah, it's a big one. It's a big one and everybody forgot. This is ten times better than a message on the day. Yeah, okay. You've been going to loads of weddings. I've been going to loads of weddings. and weddings and with that age. It's that time of life. But we have been doing other things other than go to weddings. We've been to a few shows at tape. We've been to Wolfgang Tillman's amazing photographer. I've seen a film. I've been twice. Yeah, well, we're like one minute away, aren't me? It is right next to our office, but that is dedication.

And I've been seeing some great films as well. I recently saw Get Out, which is a phenomenal film by Jordan Peel. I don't know if you, have you seen it, John? No. It's, um... I know who he is. We should get him on the pod. We'll try to. That would be amazing. It's a really brilliant film about

A black guy with a white girlfriend

He goes back to her house, lots of weird shit goes down.

It's a really brilliant film about a black guy with a white girlfriend,

he goes back to her house, lots of weird shit goes down. It's kind of like a spoof on a gothic

sort of horror film, but also like racial metaphor. It's so funny. Very brilliant. I'm feeling

really bad now because I don't think I've been to the cinema since season one of the podcast.
