Two familiar voices in the studio this morning, Rachel chats with Matthew Crawley and Thomas Sainsbury about their show starting tomorrow night, Strange Things. It's the all-in-one parody show of the entire first season of Stranger Things. Written by Lee Smith-Gibbons, directed by Thomas Sainsbury, and staring Matthew Crawley (as multiple characters), this is not to be missed. Tickets here.
Sam and Rachel are very much excited about Big Little Lies Season Two, as it's just returned to our screens. After a couple of years hiatus, we're back into it and without any spoliers, it's very, very good.
We've got a guest reviewer in this week, Alex! And after diving into Season Two of Succession, Alex reckons despite disliking basically all of the main characters, this is the greatest show ever. Big call, check it out.
His Worship is busy with the upcoming local elections, but takes the time to remind us how to cast a special vote and the importance of having your say. And with the weather getting better, swim season is fast approaching so the Mayor chats to Rachel about the quality of our waters and how to stay safe.
With voting on his mind, Sam dived into Ryan Murphy's latest $300m Netflix deal, The Politician. So, does big money make good TV? Sam endured the entire first season to find out, and in his opinion, no it does not. Although the show tries to tackle some of the serious issues we're facing in society, Sam wonders if it might have missed the mark... This might be one to check out for yourself.
We're talking food, not the tastiest place to eat, or the trendiest veg in season, but what kind of social, environmental and cultural impacts does food have? Aaron Maclean, the instigator of Stone Soup Syndicate, talks about decolonising your palette, the impact of the fishing industry and hey, you can grow your own veges from your own backyard (because we can all afford those, right?).
Sam watched a whole season of Barry in one night and it's safe to say he highly recommends it. This series follows Bill Hader, who plays a hit man who moves to LA and decides it's time for a career change (obviously not always easy in the world of assassination). Sam reckons Barry has flown under the radar and is definitely worth a watch.
