The Christmas/Thanksgiving buffer, total farmer drama, and the conviviality of coroners. It's all within, it's all for you.

Buckle up, fuckleheads, and come on into our sandpit for emergent behaviour. We’re providing a platform to marginalised talent (Jesse), and he’s luring us into a tunnel for Tom Wambsgans’ bachelor party. But not you, Fly Guys - it’s a really tight guest list. Turn up the bass in the back! Splooge in our inbox, we’ll put it back in your ears - it’s a closed loop system: [email protected] Land us a chunk of seed capital the size of f**kin’ Idaho:...

Big news: Sara's back to the gym for the first time since her tonsillectomy. There's a new Peloton instructor on the scene and he's forcing her to ask a lot of questions.  Medium news: Sara is into Chappell Roan now.  Little news: Geoff is working hard, but it's from home. He's had fewer adventures.  This week has been an absolute delight in terms of your email and new Patreon supporters so don't let us down now! It'll break our little hearts! Write to us, WE LOVE...

Roll up, roll up for the festival of grievances! This week, we relocate Connor's desert ranch, Austerlitz (formerly REDACTED) to take a pop at the champ, Jesse Armstrong. Will it be a very compelling package? Or will it be like tossing a bag of Uzis into a soft-play area? PLUS: Our fun new game, Sh*t or Shinola?

There'll be a new U.S. president-elect by the time we do another one of these and that's all either one of us can think about. But that doesn't mean we don't love you need you want you...

Hello, fellow nudie turtles. Napkins on heads to mask the shame and heighten the pleasure as we feast on tasty morsels from Succession's groovy hub. Want the freaky-deaky truth about Tom's black eye? Has Jesse been snubbed - IS THIS A SNUBBING? And can we depend on Jarmstrong's vote for Team Future? Let the minutes reflect that Sara was asked to recuse herself. It's good to hear your voice: [email protected] Let us judge for ourselves if being rich is f**king great:...

Boo! Did we getcha??? Happy spooky Hallowe'en, everyone. Sara hatches a plan to go as Chappell Roan (whose name she just had to Google ), before deciding against it. She’s up to some truly scary stuff with coconut oil too. Plus: 'No Hard Feelings', 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story', another episode of 'Disclaimer', 'Janet Planet', and Billy Crystal tries his hand at horror in Apple TV's 'Before' - but is there enough pumpkin in his paprikash?

Thank you all for coming, and thanks to all who have supported Sara through her recent health nonsense. This week, we attend the RECNY with the man, the legend, Jesse Armstrong. ** Surprise Jesse Retirement Announcement ** So sorry about the butter, guys.

Hello! This week, we're transatlantic, like a pair of Freddie Laker mother-effers. Sara is in the suburbs of Chicago, and wants to be left alone. Geoff is in Stoke Newington, and wishes he wasn't being left alone. Somehow, remarkably, we can watch the same TV. What an era.

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...

Hey, hey we're The Monkees, and people say we monkey around! For clarity: We're not The Monkees, and people seldom say we monkey around. This week we get on board with:  a) The gourd b) 'Industry'. OR DO WE? (We're hopeful this isn't another 'The Bear' situation.) We also attend a local event, which displeases the family convalescent.  See you on Friday WITH J'ARMSTRONG!

Hello! I apologise if my bell summoned you. It's FireCrotch & Normcore here, with another funky chowder! The rewatch with our dear acquaintance Jesse Armstrong continues with season 1, episode 2, Shit Show at the F**k Factory.  Dear Jesse, talk me through your feelings on titles? Am I thinking about it too much? Like the people who thought all the orange in S3E8 was a signal that Kendall was dead? How much analysis is TOO much analysis? I JUST WANT YOU TO LIKE ME.  And what about...

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten! From the Battery to the top of Manhattan! It's the perspicacious Firecrotch & Normcore reporting for duty, and we are back at the beginning of all things with THE CREATOR, Jesse Armstrong.  In the first of our week-by-week rewatches, we establish a dynamic that says 'I respect you, but I'm not awed by you.' And that 'I like you, but I need you to like me before I can love you.'  Did we bend for him? How much sage was burnt? And did he hit the million...

Exciting times, it's all ahead of us this week: Sara's tonsillectomy and our new episode-by-episode Succession rewatch with Jesse D Armstrong. In the light of the above, this is the first of our revamped/devamped episodes: One luxury-lengthed watch, and your correspondence. No rush, we're on island time. See you on Friday WITH JESSE!

Hey nerds! We go fast and hard this week with the brilliant and hilarious Phil Wang to discuss his new Netflix special, Wang in There, Baby! Plus: More Everest obsession from you know who, more Scandi drama from you know who, and someone (we're not naming names) embarrasses herself in the environs of a West End musical.  Write to us: [email protected] Pay for the forthcoming new podcast that we should've put behind a paywall: patreon.com/theyliketowatch Edited by A-Po:...

It's too early to talk about gourds, right? We hold on to the last vestiges of summer by immersing ourselves in Nantucket's Perfect Couple. (Is Sara the only one watching and thinking about how Nicole Kidman's Hollywood bestie is Naomi Watts, and Naomi Watts is also Liev Schreiber's ex-wife, and Liev Schreiber is playing Nicole Kidman's husband? Anyone? Bueller?) We delve into Couples Therapy too, of course, don't worry your pretty little heads.  And our guest this week! It's only one of the...

Hello, we back on our sofa in front of the telly after all our summer "specials", and we have news. Seismic news. >9 on the Richter Scale* Also, this week's interview was recorded at our first ever festival appearance. It's trailblazing comedian Josie Long, recorded live at End of the Road 2024. Spoiler alert: We didn't take the brown acid. Communicate: [email protected] Appreciate: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH With thanks to Sarah Bennetto, Pax Lowey and Julian...

While Sara re-adjusts to civilian life post-Edinburgh, it's everyone's favourite kind of episode: A CLIP SHOW! Only the finest pickings from the past year-and-change of interviews, though. PLUS: How Sara's Fringe ended. AND: An unlikely hero emerges. WARNING: Contains potentially offensive accents. Editor-at-large: Annabel Port Email us: [email protected] Support us: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our final episode semi-recorded at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, and Sara thinks it's the 2nd best interview we've ever done. Geoff is more circumspect about making those kind of statements, but you're in for a treat: Comedian Matt Forde talks about his new show "The End of an Era Tour', and this tumultuous past year of his life. Plus, if you're here for the Hermitage of Braid content, good news! There's an arguably overly-long anecdote about the Hermitage of Braid. Email:...

It's the second of our summer specials where we talk TV with the most dazzling comedians at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.  Today, it's Pierre Novellie. This guy has standup as good as Seinfeld, and he has just published a truly, genuinely we-mean-it brilliant book about receiving an autism diagnosis at the age of thirty-one.  Plus America's sweethearts, the DCC - if you know, you know - and if you don't, you soon will. Also: Sara exhibits her most British behaviour to date.  See Sara's show,...

Sara's at the Edinburgh Fringe - or is she? So, it's the first of our summer specials where we talk TV with the festival's most dazzling comedians. Today, it's Jessie Cave. We loved her previous Edinburgh show, Sunrise, and she's back at the Fringe with *two* shows, An Ecstatic Display and a work-in-progress with her partner/ex (delete as applicable) and baby-pappa, Alfie Brown. You may know Jessie from her many TV appearances and acting roles, or as Lavender Brown in various Harry Potter...
