Skins Series 3: Episode 5

Season 8, Ep. 20

Prep your sexual euphemism because we're auditioning for Sexxbomb in the latest episode of Skins series 3.

Episode 5 "Freddie" tells us as much about the title character as it does his love interest, but our patience with JJ is running thin.

Plus: Cook's lack of verbal skills; debate about Freddie's father; and the moment that had us screaming "Oh Effy!"

  • 28. Skins Series 3: Episode 9

    19:10||Season 8, Ep. 28
    It's the penultimate episode of Skins series three and Brenna and Joe are getting real mad at Katie. If you were hoping to feel some kind of sympathy for the injured twin, look elsewhere because as everyone prepares for prom, Katie proves she's absolutely terrible to Emily.Plus: absent Effy & Cook, happy endings (?) for Pandora & Thomas and Emily and Naomi, and where we think the finale will go.Wanna connect with the show?

  • 27. Theater Camp

    28:09||Season 8, Ep. 27
    It's another Brenna pick as we continue to explore the shorts-> feature pipeline with 2020's Theater Camp and its 2023 feature adaptation.Created by husband pair Noah Galvin and Ben Platt, as well as Molly Gordon and director Nick Lieberman, these improv heavy texts are perfect for folks who know theater...and find it a little ridiculous.Plus: Joe's appreciation of the film's expanded runtime; our favourite jokes; and a discussion of "actor" archetypes.

    It's time for a party in the woods and Brenna and Joe are becoming increasingly worried about Effy.Obviously the rock fight at episode's end will have some big ramifications, but the looming mental health crisis of pairing Effy and Cook has us terrified for the young girl.Plus: rural horror vibes; Brenna's burgeoning interest in Katie; and predictions for the penultimate episode.Wanna connect with the show?

  • 25. Trevor: The Musical (2022)

    19:17||Season 8, Ep. 25
    On the heels of the 1994 short, Brenna and Joe check out Trevor: The Musical, the Off Broadway adaptation that is a full blown musical! Written by Dan Collins and directed by Robin Abrams, the nearly two hour version of the story unfortunately doesn't add content so much as stretch it out. Still, there's some good to be found here, including the Diana Ross performance, and the staging. But what about that changed (C/W) suicide attempt?!Wanna connect with the show?

  • 24. Skins Series 3: Episode 7

    20:27||Season 8, Ep. 24
    Brenna and Joe finally reach the JJ episode of Skins series 3 and...we're divided.On one hand, the show finally gives JJ a diagnosis and allows him agency, but we find Skins' handling of mental health treatment so grim and one-sided.Plus: different readings on JJ's mom; disappointment about the handling of Emily; a completely different episode soundtrack; and JJ as a truth teller.Wanna connect with the show?

  • 23. Trevor (1994)

    18:40||Season 8, Ep. 23
    Brenna has programmed us an Oscar-winning short Trevor (1994) that also led to the creation of The Trevor Project. Directed by Peggy Rajski and written by Celeste Lecesne, the ~18 minute short is clever and slightly surreal, though C/W for suicide attempt.Wanna connect with the show?

  • 22. Skins Series 3: Episode 6

    13:31||Season 8, Ep. 22
    Brenna and Joe are in love with Naomi's episode, which feels like a series three high. Sure it's a struggle to watch her try to deny her feelings for Emily, but she's getting there!Plus: school elections; Katie being the worst; and Brenna's cheer for dressing down a pervy teacher.Wanna connect with the show?

  • 21. TV: A Good Girl's Guide To Murder S02 (2026)

    25:15||Season 8, Ep. 21
    Brenna and Joe return to discuss the six episode S02 of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, which shifts the focus prominently to Max Hastings. This definitely changes the messaging of the book, though TV-only viewers likely won't notice.Plus: struggling to connect to Stanley Forbes; praising the casting of Max's cousin; and pondering what the third and final series will look like.Wanna connect with the show?
