Lee and Simon go on a strange ride through some "visual culture" before talking about body dismorphia, Lee's natural form, exhibitionism and the things people do to switch off.

Some other details from the episode: Pitch Perfect (the original and classic), just sit outside and watch the waters rise (climate change), And While London Burns (audio performance), Bob eating chicken wings on Chicken Shop Date, the thing that's like Spartacus that isn't Spartacus, Gladiator, crying at the end, Lisa Gerrard, negging, Hot Ones youtube channel, Ridley Scott films, Denis Villeneuve liking Christopher Nolan films, Sting playing Austin Butler in the original Dune, Jake Gyllenhaal in Roadhouse remake, being too lean, dismorphia, how many kilograms in a stone, Lee's natural form, Hot Ones (not Hot Wings), Campari Spritz, the new Jurassic Park shot in Malta, Malta being Catholic and British, UK/US plugs, self-publicity, being an exhibitionist, wearing white underwear, nothing saying weekend like looking at a spreadsheet, distractions and switching off, being lost in thought and ruminating, Lee doubling down on his habits, books and Michael Crichton (gone too soon).
