Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

It's Not an Arid Environment?! And Sarah Phelps (THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT)

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 thing, and that's the kind of BOCO™️ (bonus content) we'll be giving our Patreon supporters. Deets next week.

    We're baaaaaaaack! To say we're "better than ever" would be an overstatement, however we're not unhappy with the episode. Sara's in pink pants - slut!!!! - plus she's onto some Churchill materials. Geoff is only half sweaty, and less of a ticking time bomb than we originally feared. Plus: Pee Wee Herman and Adam CurtisWrite to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comBuy Sara her slut books: patron.com/theyliketowatch

    Made using Suno to highlight how AI music apps could devalue human artistry, replace jobs, and flood the market with generic content - eroding originality, authorship, and the emotional depth that comes from lived experience.

    We watched Jesse Armstrong's new film, 'Mountainhead'. Twice: Once on our sofa, and once at a glittering event (which was also the site of the least comfortable convo in history - between your correspondent Sara H. Barron and the Emmy-winning Tony Roche. Coincidentally, the second-least comfortable convo in history was happening nearby.)Also, has Geoff found a new TV gang? And Sara is euphoric because 'Sex and The City' spinoff, 'And Just Like That' is back for another season. Michael Patrick King and Jesse David Armstrong, both dropping new material in the same week! She's like a pig in sh*t and deluxe sh*t at the same time.Maslow's hierarchy of needs: Tier 3: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comTiers 1 and 2: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH

    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.)Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Help Sara get slutty on a budget.
