Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH
Close the Door on '24, Thrive in '25!
•
“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 on some of the interviews that didn't make the cut for our last clip show in the summer. We appreciate you, we cherish you, and we wish you a better 2025 than your 2024. Or at least some kind of plateau. Or minimal decline.

01:00:08|At the time of writing, Sara/Firecrotch-y has finished season 1 of Heated Rivalry and having cried during the penultimate episode, is now wondering if maybe the whole thing is a work of genius after all? Laughs and cries is the classic combo but cries and turn-ons? If this is the direction 2026 is going, we (I) don't hate it. Maybe the toppermost TV echelon is Sopranos, Succession, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and Heated Rivalry, but not for the dialogue, only for the wanks-'n-tears.
