Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

It's just a hot young influencer couple here to influence what you watch on TV. Our guest is Larry Rickard: Cast member and co-creator of Ghosts . BTS gossip: Geoff asked Larry if he'd record a video message for our Horrible Histories -obsessed son, but Sara kiboshed it.

HI BABES! We're back to depress you with what we did on our tenth wedding anniversary, and to tell you what's worth your attention on the teevz. We also talk to writer, Marnie Dickens, who has: a) A snazzy shirt b) The number one show on Amazon Prime Video in the UK: Wilderness , starring Jenna Coleman. Plus, Sara attempts to start not one, but two movements. Email us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcor...

It's your favourite young lovers, on the cusp of our tenth wedding anniversary, taking time away from gazing into each other's eyes to gaze into the TV - and tell you whether you should watch what we've been watching. Our guest is Nish Kumar, stand-up comedian - as the French would say - by excellence. His new special 'Your Power, Your Control' is available on Sky/Now TV. Sara's name appears in th...

HIYA! In this week's watchings: Sara attempts to be more broadminded about polyamory, Geoff scavenges for Succession crumbs, we disagree about a new horror/fantasy series (but admire the sartorial choices), AND - live from another hemisphere - we're joined by the brilliant Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, creators of Deadloch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You told us to watch  Reservation Dogs , we over-delivered: We bring you its creator, Sterlin Harjo. Now that's worth the podcast showing up a few hours later than usual, right? (If you didn't notice, pls disregard, Thanks.) Plus religious ritual nepo-comedy, a re-run of the space race, and we pick up what the J-Dog put down last week.  Email us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Let's B...

Your favourite cute thrupple reunites to give patrons of the world's largest arts festival a bit of a show.

Hello! We became addicted to Hijack on Apple TV+ whilst we were on holiday, and as soon as we arrived home, we tracked down co-creator/director Jim Field Smith, and bombarded him with questions. He was gracious and duly obliged: There will be spoilers.

HEJ KOMPISAR! We're summering in the Stockholm Archipelago, but we borrowed some recording equipment from Ridklubben, Sweden's best equestrian podcast. We talk Hijack, How To with John Wilson, and The Jinx, plus we're joined by a tall genius - one of the UK's best and most respected screenwriters, Jack Thorne. VARSÅGOD!

Oh, Bridget! Not content with merely being one of the best stand-up comedians in the UK, she's gone and made a TV show that's funny and completely unique - The Change , and she's telling us all about it.

Who are we talking to this week? Only one of the UK's best screenwriters, Sarah Phelps - creator of the excellent 'The Sixth Commandment' - the best thing since 'Succession' (according to Nigella Lawson on Twitter. And us.) Plus: Is 'The Bear' a wolf in emperor's new clothing? Also, we're nearly there with the Patreon. The Sarah Phelps interview was so good that you need to hear the whole thi...

ED SOLOMON! He co-created Bill and Ted , he wrote Men In Black , he's a frequent Steven Soderberg collaborator - they've made an excellent new show together: Full Circle . WHAT A CV! Why isn't his name at the front of your brain? We suspect it's down to humility. He came 'round to ours for coffee, and he's quite brilliant. You'll love him. Plus, this week's scenes from a marriage spent watching TV...

Hello! We're tottering like newborn giraffes into the new incarnation of our podcast. Hear what we've watched, what you think we should watch, plus Bisha K Ali and Charlie Brooker talk to us about the latest series of Black Mirror, what they like to watch, and whether passing flatus is funny.

What next for Firecrotch & Normcore? Details within. And, your headline act... Jesse Armstrong recorded live at the Orwell Festival in London. He was on excellent form. The event was titled 'Politics and Drama' - there's plenty of both, plus loads about Jesse's career, and specifically 'Succession'. More about the Orwell Foundation: https://www.orwellfoundation.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast....

Highlights from our live show in London, days before the finale. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Your reactions to the finale, plus we talk to 'Succession' prop master Monica Jacobs about Lady Caroline's fridge, Ewan's cane, and which cast member is always prepared (you already know, don't you?) We're going to be okay. *You're* going to be okay. Uh, because you're... You're a monster. And you're gonna win. 'Cause you just... You just win. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inform...

We work through the trauma, and 'Dear' Jesse' replies. PS. Non-regular listener dipping in for the Jesse interview? The rest of it not for you? Great, but skip to about seventeen minutes in instead of making Sara a HATE FIGURE on social media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sorry to leave you hanging after what you've been through. We opted for a lunchtime episode drop to bring you our number one boy, YOUR number one boy - 'Succession' creator and showrunner, Jesse Armstrong. TODAY: Everything up to when it all goes to s**t TOMORROW: The trauma. But more Jesse, too! PS. Non-regular listener dipping in for the Jesse interview? The rest of it not for you? Great, but sk...

Even if you've already seen the finale (so many feelings. TBD), you won't want to skip this. It's a wide-ranging conversation with Succession director and executive producer, Mark Mylod, spanning his years on the show. It's a fascinating, funny and thoughtful conversation on how Succession is made. PS. We know we're stretching the definition of pre-finale beyond all credibility here. Bac...

Full of nervous energy as you wait for the final episode? Distract yourself in the company of Mr Charisma... sorry DOCTOR Charisma, Alexander Skarsgård - aka Lukas Matsson - aka Pissy Longstocking (after this podcast) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apologies for this late-running Saturday Sprinkles, we hope sure you'll forgive us under the circumstances. We manifested some last-minute BoCo that was too good to turn down... In an act of kindness, J. Smith-Cameron (aka Gerri Kellman) carved out a little time for a quick chat. As you'll hear, she was a dream, and there's a beautiful moment between her and Sara. Before that chat with J (Jay?), a...

We're very excited. We got to talk to the woman behind former playwright, and current wife of the future U.S. Ambassador to Slovenia (? ), Willa Ferreyra. It's Justine Lupe - look how far she's come! What's it like to be married to a plant that grows on rocks and lives off insects that die inside of him? And how many iPads did she hurl into the Adriatic Sea? Will it be long and hard to f...

Giant rabbits, the lesser-spotted Iverson, and curly girls are all discussed in our latest BoCo, with the wonderful Natalie Gold. You'll love her. We did. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To his critics: He is not a demagogue. He is a lauded stage and screen actor, and the man responsible for Succession's terrifying President-Elect to life. It's Justin Kirk! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
