HI BABES! We're back to depress you with what we did on our tenth wedding anniversary, and to tell you what's worth your attention on the teevz. We also talk to writer, Marnie Dickens, who has: a) A snazzy shirt b) The number one show on Amazon Prime Video in the UK: Wilderness, starring Jenna Coleman. Plus, Sara attempts to start not one, but two movements. Email us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Edited by Annabel Port Hosted on Acast.

It's your favourite young lovers, on the cusp of our tenth wedding anniversary, taking time away from gazing into each other's eyes to gaze into the TV - and tell you whether you should watch what we've been watching. Our guest is Nish Kumar, stand-up comedian - as the French would say - by excellence. His new special 'Your Power, Your Control' is available on Sky/Now TV. Sara's name appears in the credits, SPELLED INCORRECTLY. What will happen when Nish is confronted? Clickbait!

HIYA! In this week's watchings: Sara attempts to be more broadminded about polyamory, Geoff scavenges for Succession crumbs, we disagree about a new horror/fantasy series (but admire the sartorial choices), AND - live from another hemisphere - we're joined by the brilliant Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, creators of Deadloch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You told us to watch Reservation Dogs, we over-delivered: We bring you its creator, Sterlin Harjo. Now that's worth the podcast showing up a few hours later than usual, right? (If you didn't notice, pls disregard, Thanks.) Plus religious ritual nepo-comedy, a re-run of the space race, and we pick up what the J-Dog put down last week.  Email us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Let's Be Patreon Friends: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Edited by: Annabel Port (in absentia) Hosted on Acast.

Your favourite cute thrupple reunites to give patrons of the world's largest arts festival a bit of a show.

Hello! We became addicted to Hijack on Apple TV+ whilst we were on holiday, and as soon as we arrived home, we tracked down co-creator/director Jim Field Smith, and bombarded him with questions.

HEJ KOMPISAR! We're summering in the Stockholm Archipelago, but we borrowed some recording equipment from Ridklubben, Sweden's best equestrian podcast. We talk Hijack, How To with John Wilson, and The Jinx, plus we're joined by a tall genius - one of the UK's best and most respected screenwriters, Jack Thorne. VARSÅGOD!

Oh, Bridget! Not content with merely being one of the best stand-up comedians in the UK, she's gone and made a TV show that's funny and completely unique - The Change, and she's telling us all about it. Plus: We've set up a Patreon for you. It's real nice: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Feed Mr. Inbox a juicy email: f**koff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Hosted on Acast.

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. Email us: f**koff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

ED SOLOMON! He co-created Bill and Ted, he wrote Men In Black, he's a frequent Steven Soderberg collaborator - they've made an excellent new show together: Full Circle. WHAT A CV! Why isn't his name at the front of your brain? We suspect it's down to humility. He came 'round to ours for coffee, and he's quite brilliant. You'll love him. Plus, this week's scenes from a marriage spent watching TV, and your recommendations. Email us: f**koff@firecrotch@normcore.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello! We're tottering like newborn giraffes into the new incarnation of our podcast. Hear what we've watched, what you think we should watch, plus Bisha K Ali and Charlie Brooker talk to us about the latest series of Black Mirror, what they like to watch, and whether passing flatus is funny. Email us! f**koff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What next for Firecrotch & Normcore? Details within. And, your headline act... Jesse Armstrong recorded live at the Orwell Festival in London. He was on excellent form. The event was titled 'Politics and Drama' - there's plenty of both, plus loads about Jesse's career, and specifically 'Succession'. More about the Orwell Foundation: https://www.orwellfoundation.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Highlights from our live show in London, days before the finale. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Your reactions to the finale, plus we talk to 'Succession' prop master Monica Jacobs about Lady Caroline's fridge, Ewan's cane, and which cast member is always prepared (you already know, don't you?) We're going to be okay. *You're* going to be okay. Uh, because you're... You're a monster. And you're gonna win. 'Cause you just... You just win. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We work through the trauma, and 'Dear' Jesse' replies. PS. Non-regular listener dipping in for the Jesse interview? The rest of it not for you? Great, but skip to about seventeen minutes in instead of making Sara a HATE FIGURE on social media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sorry to leave you hanging after what you've been through. We opted for a lunchtime episode drop to bring you our number one boy, YOUR number one boy - 'Succession' creator and showrunner, Jesse Armstrong. TODAY: Everything up to when it all goes to s**t TOMORROW: The trauma. But more Jesse, too! PS. Non-regular listener dipping in for the Jesse interview? The rest of it not for you? Great, but skip to about thirty minutes in instead of making Sara a HATE FIGURE on social media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Even if you've already seen the finale (so many feelings. TBD), you won't want to skip this. It's a wide-ranging conversation with Succession director and executive producer, Mark Mylod, spanning his years on the show. It's a fascinating, funny and thoughtful conversation on how Succession is made. PS. We know we're stretching the definition of pre-finale beyond all credibility here. Back tomorrow! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Full of nervous energy as you wait for the final episode? Distract yourself in the company of Mr Charisma... sorry DOCTOR Charisma, Alexander Skarsgård - aka Lukas Matsson - aka Pissy Longstocking (after this podcast) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
