Michael (2026)
2w ago00:39:02Tap to summarizeMichael has hit theaters and it is already one of the highest grossing films of the year. Do we criticize this sanitized version of Michael Jackson´s story or do we buy into it and let ourselves get lost in a world of great choreography and Twister playing monkeys? Tune in to hear more about the real Jackson family, the differences between the movie and real life and how Michael´s story could have been told differently.

Apr 800:57:04Tap to summarizeFinally my most awaited show of the year is out and it almost makes me forget about the atrocities happening in the world right now. This episode is a long one so grab yourself a nice tea and cuddle up on your bay window overlooking your country estate. We are discussing everything about The Other Bennet Sister, including the significance of the story, how inspiring Mary actually is and of course Mr. Hayward´ s yearning soul.

Mar 2300:33:07Tap to summarizeThis week I bring you something a little bit different, I basically vomit all over your feet the concept of new shows coming out this month.

Transcribe →Sentimental Value (2025)
Mar 1000:29:25Tap to summarizeAfter having to re-record this episode three times I can safely say I don´ t find it to have sentimental value to me *pause for laughs*. However the Oscars are this Sunday and I want you to know what is up with this Norwegian intimate feature film. Tune in to listen to me praise the performances and the filmography of this quiet, personal story while I open your eyes to the world of generational pattern breaking.
Transcribe →"Wuthering Heights" (2026)
Feb 2600:38:26Tap to summarizeThe very controversial adaptation of Emily Brontë´s book is out now and boy, do we all have an opinion about it. Although we can agree on one thing, that slutty gold hoop earring Jacob Elordi is wearing is mesmerizing. Tune in to listen to me compliment the sets and wardrobe while I give you an introduction to Emily Brontë and how much of an anxious freak she was. RIP Emily, you would have loved AO3
Transcribe →Oscar Nominations 2026 & Bridgerton S4 Part 1

I got you! You want to be frustrated with me about the fact that Bridgerton cannot recognize an Asian woman with a light Australian accent to save his life? I got you. Tune in for all of that and more
Transcribe →Wicked: For Good (2025)
Dec 900:42:09Tap to summarizeThe awaited sequel of Wicked is here and it brings back your favourite characters: Glinda, Elphaba and the reminder that you are an untalented individual and will never amount to anything during your lifetime. In this episode I go into the details of why this movie turned out the way it did and I sing the praises (no pun intended) of Ariana Grande Butera.
Transcribe →Heated Rivalry 101
Dec 100:19:34Tap to summarizeA hot new show just dropped and it has me clawing at the bars of my enclosure. Listen to me explain the concept of MM romances and why they are so key for a female audience while actively trying not to discuss Ilya Rozanov´ s glutes. Go Hockey!
Transcribe →Frankenstein (2025)
Nov 1000:50:06Tap to summarizeIn this episode I tell you all about Mary Shelley and her tragic life while somehow insulting her husband at every turn. I share my opinion on the movie and I attempt to answer the question "Why is Gothic so hot right now?"
Transcribe →One Battle After Another (2025)
Nov 400:33:24Tap to summarizeThe title couldn´t be more accurate because I tried to record this podcast many many times. There were issues with the sound, then with the mic, you get it... Tune in to hear me connect this film to the 70s political thriller genre and to have me dissect this movie´ chances for the 2026 Oscars.
