Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH
THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S1 E03: Lifeboats
•
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=enMzaHdzYXo5cHpk
Stay strong, stay in touch.
