    Hello! This week, we're transatlantic, like a pair of Freddie Laker mother-effers. Sara is in the suburbs of Chicago, and wants to be left alone. Geoff is in Stoke Newington, and wishes he wasn't being left alone. Somehow, remarkably, we can watch the same TV.

  • THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S1 E03: Lifeboats

    47:13|
    Hey hey hey, my people!Time for another peep through our (smeared) window into the mind behind 'Succession', Jesse Armstrong. We wouldn't say he's the man, but if there were a man - hypothetically - he might look a lot like Jesse.This week, it's episode 3, 'Lifeboats', and a trio of major players enter the stage: Sandy Furness, Stewy Hosseini and Mondale... um, there's no way Shiv is allowing a dog to have a surname. But he's basically a Roy, in all but name.Oh, and we found Roman's personal trainer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brockyurich/profilecard/?igsh=enMzaHdzYXo5cHpkStay strong, stay in touch.* We want each and every one of you to be innovating, challenging, being bold, being disruptive, bringing us new, original, multiplatform content: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com* Not all of us are born into good ease: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH
