'Challengers' (2024) with Annalise Ball

Season 1, Ep. 20

The Zendaya love triangle film that we didn't know we needed! Who knew tennis could be so hot and heavy? Sexy churros, steamy saunas and a sly smile from Josh O'Connor that had Annalise Ball and I swooning. It's all in this week's episode.


For those in Oz, you can rent 'Challengers' on Prime Video or Apple tv

  • 25. Notting Hill (1999) with Harriet Power

    38:27||Season 1, Ep. 25
    Let's be honest, this week we all need a comfort watch, and they don't get much more comforting than Notting freaking Hill. I don't think any woman has ever been more beautiful in any film than Julia Roberts in Notting Hill. And no man has been floppier than Hugh Grant. Beautiful meets floppy. Romance ensues. Big love to Harriet Power for joining me once again with all her with and warmth! Make sure you chuck us a follow on TikTok and instagram! love you. more than a friend x

    There's murder! There's curses! There's demon possessed ex lovers! There's dead parents! And to top it all off? There's a gorgeous love story between a woman and the cop investigating the murder she committed. But it's romantic, I swear! Happy Halloween, lovers! We're heading back to 1998 for a film with the knockout cast to end ALL knockout casts. Sandra. Nicole. Stockard. Diane.'Practical Magic' ain't winning any Oscars, but it's winning our hearts and there's a reason why this film is a comfort-watch for so many people in their 30's. Sandra Bullock is the queen. We bow down forever. Amen. Love you, more than a friend x
  • 23. SPECIAL EP: The return of our teenage hearth throbs with Alice James

    41:30||Season 1, Ep. 23
    Sometimes you gotta just throw the podcast premise out the window and dedicate an entire episode to the fact that Sept/Oct 2024 has been a big month for the gals/gays/theys/anyone who ever found themselves sexually attracted to Joshua Jackson or Adam Brody (or in my case, both, at the same time).Thank you universe, thank you. x Ash
