Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

We're baaaaack! What a pleasure for you, for the larger galaxy. Us? We're just happy to be at the table. SPOILER ALERT: We go *big* on finale of The White Lotus, the return of the Quick-Watch, and Sara stumbles upon one of life's big questions in a crowded coffee shop near Angel tube station.  Tell us about the time you had to sleep in a tiny box with no air-conditioning and a stain...

Hello, darling babies. We would never abandon you*. We're just taking a moment to figure out how to keep you nourished now that the Jesse Armstrong rewatch is over. Press play, and listen to us talk through that, including an *incredibly* laboured sandwich metaphor. Email us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Patreon (revamp INCOMING): https://www.patreon.com/c/THEYLIKETOWATCH * There are circumst...

If it is to be said, so it be... so it is. Welcome aboard, we're about to do the knock and invite Jesse up to our cabin for the full dirty on the season two finale, ‘This Is Not For Tears’ - does he have the vim, though? Are his toenails aesthetically pleasing? How many severed d**ks could he fit into his B-bag? And does he wonder if the sad he'd be without us would be less than the sad he gets fr...

What is the difference -  is  there a difference - between a generic bout of bad breath and simply stinking of a single food item? How offensive can we get when discussing the elderly? Especially given it's a demographic far closer to either of us than, say, youth. All this and more thanks to a single visit to a National Trust property. Plus we talk about Jack Thorne & Stephen Graham...

We welcome everyone to today’s hearing, where Jesse Armstrong will be facing scutiny on the penultimate episode of season two. Is he unusually subject to the vicissitudes of public opinion? Do the phrases "human furniture" or "footstooling" mean anything to him? And is he now - or has he ever been - a member of the Cruise Dirty Sеxf**k Cover-up Party? So: Go hard. Go fast. Go - ya lovely bastards!...

Sara, a noble lioness, encounters another noble lioness on the karaoke plains of north-east London. Who survives the battle? And who's still using aerosol deodorant? Big questions, as usual, plus we watch the new Kate Hudson/Mindy Kaling project. See Sara at Soho Theatre later this month: https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/ Write to us:  fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore....

Dundee in the motherf**king house! This week, Jesse talks us through Logan's homecoming episode. Is $5.29 an unreasonable price for a bag of gypsum? How would he feel about squatting over a storm drain? And has he ever seen a mistle thrush by the bandstand? Okay everybody: Bright eyes and let's see those chompers! * I could see us collaborating:  fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com *...

Missing muffs and erotic food intake. Sara's tough-but-fair takedown by a barfly. Hate-mail! Plus "SNL: Beyond Saturday Night" and acceptable stoniness of face. See Sara at Soho Theatre later this month:  https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/ Write to us, we want a luscious inbox:  fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Join the Patreon if you truly care:  patreon....

We're back with Jesse Armstrong to digest the bolus of gubbins that is season two, episode seven, 'Return'. Did he get jerked off by his personal trainer at the end of sessions? Is he aware of any document destruction that may hinder our enquiries? Might it be better to do it over an egg? We're hunkering, let's get down to it! * Give us an in-tray the size of argentina:  fuckoff@firecrotchand...

We're here, we're back, we hope we're worth the wait. Geoff shares a tender touch with a child. Sara wishes for a tender touch with her cousin Michael DiFiori. Plus, The White Lotus, Season 3. Sorry to get all "Love, Actually" with Parker Posey,  but:  to us, she is perfect.  Go see Sara at Soho Theatre in March:  https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/ Wri...

Hello, all our babies. Sometime plans go awry. Here's what's happening: This Weds: The next TLTW episode - The White Lotus! Fri: The 'Succession' rewatch with Jesse Armstrong continues, a week later than planned. Go and feel your feelings, and remember mommy and daddy love you xxxx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guys - you've been warned - we're getting philosophical this week. Big questions get asked, for example: if your dog craps in your garden how quickly do you clean it up? Also we were inundated with emails about Apple Cider Vinegar, so we talk through that but don't you worry, we'll get deep deep with White Lotus soon enough.  See Sara at London's Soho theatre at the end of March:  https:...

Put on your puffy vest and pristine hiking boots and please give a warm Argestes welcome to Jesse Armstrong (he’s exceedingly easy to get.) If we got kissy, might he share plot details of ‘Frat Baby 2’? Could a Cobb salad ever be worth $75? And would he like an Advil and a handjob? It’s a culture hike, and we’re listening quite aggressively. We hear for you: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com We’re...

( sung)  What have you done for us lately? Ooo ooo ooo ooo yeah. There was an incident at a high-end deli that changed everything, and Sara contemplates wearing a cummerbund to hide her midriff. Also: Hacks. Is is possible the most lovable part of that show is the font? See Sara at SoHo Theatre: https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/ Send us your thoughts,...

Come, come homeward. Promises to keep, and miles to go before we sleep... This week, we're talking Tern Haven with Jesse over a round of Hank Pierce's Break-bumpers. We’re kind of like eunuch besties. Can he recommend anything that Oprah isn’t pushing? Does he object to being fumbled by the invisible hand of the market, like a prim little matron? And does he kneel before His Majesty, the spinach?...

If we don't do it, who will? Who will ask the big questions? Who will travel to the dangerous corners? FireCrotch and Normcore, that's who! FireCrotch & Normcore are... who?  This week we address whether your clothes are mandatory for your child's playdate. It inches us toward divorce but we do it anyway. Because of bravery.  Also: High Potential on Disney+ - it's not about drug...

We hole up with Succession’s showrunner and involve him in our disgusting little stratagems, as we dig into Safe Room , written by Georgia Pritchett. Is he being stymied by a variety of enemies who are envious of his talents? Was he interested in politics from a young age? And is he allowed to just say numbers? Leave us on your pillow and hear our brilliance cascading. Keep close: fuckoff@firecrot...

( sung)  Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.  It was so wonderful getting to know so many of you at the live show! My god did we love it. Thank you for dressing so nicely and cool-y, the lot of you. We felt like Arcade Fire. This week: smear tests, space for children, and Severance. Something for everyone really.  Come see Sara at Soho Theatre in March:  ht...

Musicians? Pianissimo! Time for a game of Boar on the Floor. Will Jesse oink for his sausage? Who's his most pointy-headed f*ck? Does he hyper-decant? And is Ratf*cker Sam misunderstood? Our question to J. Armstrong is: Do you want to present your side, or are you happy for everyone else to tell their version? *** Sara is convalescing ahead of our live show, so this is just the Jesse intervie...

If you don't have one minute and thirty seconds to listen to this: Geoff's ill, so no TLTW pod this week, but we should be okay for the Succession rewatch and the live show. Bye! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's poppin', cum-dump? Jesse's back for din-dins with Firecrotch and Normcore, and a salty reframe of season two, episode two, 'Vaulter'. We do not want an adversarial situation here. We need the full, fiber-optic, clear-channel sh*t: We need to find to find the extraneous Danish. What constitutes an agricultural walk? How many skulls is a lot of skulls? Does he want some hand gel? A banana and...

If you wanna be our lover, you have to shower us in compliments. Sara's unlikely, mid-90s interlude with the King of Daytime Telly, Geoff asks what - in 2025 - is the deal with cigars? AND one backstreet podiatrist.  COME SEE US LIVE ON 25TH JANUARY to assess Sara's finger or toe, your kink depending: https://www.angelcomedy.co.uk/event-detail/they-like-to-watch-live-25th-jan-the-bill-murray-...

Welcome to the bunker! Says hello to the grunts (us), and one-shot voodoo guy who holds the whole thing together (Jesse).  We’re into the first episode of the second season, and we encourage the nutty bastard to step up to the rack, and pull him limb from limb like a piñata to see what falls out. Has he seen their plan, and is dad’s plan better? How do we know he’s not a double agent? And wou...

Do you strive to thrive? Or strive to survive? Sara replaces her Everest fixation with tsunamis, Geoff critiques a babushka, and we/they/us dish on everyone's favorite Traitor. (The one who's been faking a Welsh accent.)

“Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives, And I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives, Oh yes, man is a fool - and he thinks he'll be okay, Dragging on, feet of clay Never knowing he's astray Keeps on going anyway” So sang ABBA in their festive hit, 'Happy New Year'. How different things might have been had they owned a SAD lamp. We're rounding out the year with a sombre reflection...
