Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

A Compulsion to Lick

Happy New Jesse Armstrong Content Eve! By the time our next episode drops, his new film, Mountainhead will be released into the wild (HBO/Sky/Now TV.) May Our Lord and Saviour, Jesse David, watch over you and bring peace to the land, the crops, the pigs, and the chickens. 


This podcast is late to honor our big boy on his big day, and not because we had a series of mishaps over half-term. 


nb. This episode contains zero actual Jesse Armstrong or 'Mountainhead' content beyond fevered anticipation. One of us is excited to tell you about the best TV we've seen in over twelve months, though.


Peace be with you.

(And with you.)

    Not to oversell, but in this episode we've stumbled across one of life's big questions:If you move house and everything is still in some degree of chaos, and a very sweet man from Virgin Media comes to install wifi but then leaves his enormous bulky jacket behind, and the addition of this one big jacket tips you over the edge mentally, how long do you have to keep the jacket before giving it to a charity shop? Obviously Virgin Media has been contacted multiple times to say, "Hey! We've got this guy's jacket!"Firecrotch is on the verge of a mental breakdown, btw.Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSupport us, Firecrotch needs some form of private mental healthcare: https://www.patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by Annabel Port who is now all (or at least some of) the rage on the TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theotherbritishmuseum
