Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S2 E01: The Summer Palace

Welcome to the bunker! Says hello to the grunts (us), and one-shot voodoo guy who holds the whole thing together (Jesse). 


We’re into the first episode of the second season, and we encourage the nutty bastard to step up to the rack, and pull him limb from limb like a piñata to see what falls out.


Has he seen their plan, and is dad’s plan better? How do we know he’s not a double agent? And would he prefer Napoleon’s penis pickled in a jar, or dried like a strip of beef jerky? 


Are we actually having this conversation? Yes, we are actually having this conversation. Remember this slant of light.


We need to stuff some f***king raccoons up some guy’s chimney - let’s move ahead with that process, shall we?


We’re all pals here, we want you to speak freely: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com

    Sara had a jam-packed school pickup yesterday that included erotica, estate agents, and ongoing grudges. Plus we discuss Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix, before going off-piste with - sorry! - a film you'd have to go see in the cinema, Sentimental Value. We better see you at that live show: https://www.angelcomedy.co.uk/event-detail/firecrotch-normcore-they-like-to-watch-live-sun-8th-feb-the-bill-murray-london-tickets-202602081530/And you better join the patreon.

  • Physical Stoicism is my Kink

    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. SEE YOU AT THE LIVE SHOW RIGHT?!
