Yes the wang wasn’t needed, but the abs and the sexy lap dancing were whoop worthy. We’re totally here to tell you ALL about the special Emsolation screening of ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’. In fact Em and her eldest daughter Chella will spend roughly 22 minutes telling you and Michael all the ins and outs (boom tish). Prepare yourself, there’s also all their thoughts and feels of the 2023 Grammy Awards, from Beyonce, Lizzo and Harry Styles all the way to a teensy tiny vent about James Corden. Madonna scores our weekly Good For Her award, plus we have a selection of our favourite headlines from the week including Zac Efron’s bedroom skills, and the woman who slept with Prince Harry finally revealing herself. Then finally we need to cover off the brand new Pamela Anderson doco ‘Pamela - A Love Story’ and talk about how well she’s wrestled back her own narrative after decades of being used and abused.

We open with a tease for Michael’s guitar playing skills and then dive head first into recounting an incident involving Em and her hubby Scott. An incident where Scott pretty much chose violence and talked his way into inspiring Em to grab a pair of scissors and go after the wheels of his bike. After that it’s onto Lady Gaga finally releasing the Chromatica concert tour video that she has since revealed was recorded while she had Covid. We naturally had to discuss the decision to perform while contagious and if she should have cancelled instead, plus there’s our favourite Gaga moment to watch, discuss and breakdown. Then with Michael’s Hip Hurrah Party less than 2 weeks away, there’s a live performance Em and Michael need to rehearse before they deliver it on the night. Hence, you’ll get to witness the early stages of that as they rehearse and sing Beyonce’s ‘Daddy Lessons’ with Michael on guitar strumming. Also in our Sealed Section, we ‘Okay, Stop!’ the trailer for the upcoming documentary ‘I Am: Celine Dion’. Sign up now to start listening & watching at emsolation.supercast.com.

Bike Beef, Chromatica With Covid & A Dodgy Duet

After questioning the level of effort Michael applies to his outfit for recording the podcast, which seems to be not very much at all, we dive into Em’s review of ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’. There’s some standing ovation chat around the Cannes screening of ‘Furiosa’ and Demi Moore’s new movie getting an 11-minute standing ovation too. Then it’s onto episode 3 of Em’s new podcast ‘Anomalous with Em Rusciano’ which has cameos from Michael Lucas & Benjamin Wasley. There’s also a divine post from an Emsolator whose partner has been raving about how listening to the podcast has helped him navigate his own diagnosis. Plus, Em reveals how prep for her ‘Outgrown’ tour is going, including how she performed it to her husband Scott in their living room, even though he never asked. Finally, Em dons her investigative glasses and does a full analysis on the rumours that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are heading to the divorce courts. Em has all the receipts and will reveal all of her findings on if the J’Lo and Ben romance is really on the skids or not. Also in our Sealed Section, it’s all about playing ‘Okay, Stop!’ on that saucy carriage scene on the new season of ‘Bridgerton’, plus Em is mad keen to pull an all nighter at Michael’s Hip Hooray party.

Are J’Lo & Ben Breaking Up? An Emsolation Investigation

It would seem we’ve hit a teensy hurdle in the planning for Michael’s Hip Hoorah Disco Cowboy themed party, he’s got the Orville Peck inspired pink cowboy outfit, but as he’s seeing out his crusty old hip, Michael’s keen to wear a comfortable sneaker and forgo a cowboy boot. Em is having none of it, offering up a variety of alternative options, including some that don’t actually exist, while Michael tries to use said hip as an excuse for a lifetime of shonky dancing. Then it’s onto the news that Fleabag and All Of Us Strangers hottie Andrew Scott is about to gift us erotic audio called ‘The Queen’s Guard’. After watching the teaser trailer, Em challenges Michael to take the script and give us his own version of erotic audio. Em then makes a number of character choices and delivers us versions of the same erotic script as Effie and a Southern Belle, with added options for her hubby Scott and Idris Elba too. Finally we need to talk through the new season of ‘Bridgerton’, season three drops this week and Em gets her eldest daughter Chella to bring us up to speed on what’s coming and why we’re so excited. Also in our Sealed Section, it’s all about Elizabeth Hurley and her son Damian, as Em and Michael ‘Okay, Stop!’ the trailer for their debut film together ‘Strictly Confidential’. Sign up now to start listening & watching at emsolation.supercast.com.

Cowboy Carter Party Update, Andrew Scott’s Erotic Audio & Bridgerton S3

Yaas, Em’s new podcast ‘Anomalous with Em Rusciano’ is out and it’s being received exactly as Em hoped it would be, with much accolades, appreciation and divine voice notes and reviews. Michael is due to have hip replacement surgery soon, so to see out his crusty old hip joints, he’s throwing himself a blow out dance party/celebration with the theme ‘Disco Cowboy’. Naturally Em has already been invited, and within hours of receiving said invite had sourced and ordered her entire themed outfit for the night too, so there’s much to discuss. Then it’s onto Em and Michael’s review of the new Anne Hathaway film ‘The Idea Of You’ which hasn’t really lived up to the expectations that the teaser trailer gave them. Finally, Madonna has wrapped up her world tour by performing to 1.6 million people in Rio and Em and Michael are feeling all of the feels having not been there to witness it. There's what was happening while they watched dodgy feeds of the show to cover off, a full rundown of all of their favourite parts, and even a discussion about HR and how Madonna and her dancers navigate all of the snogging and crotch and breast grabbing they are required to do. So pop a hip to the joyous strains of Em and Michael talking party costume prep, lacklustre romcoms and Mother serving it to the masses on stage, huzzah!!

Michael’s Hip Replacement Party, The Idea of You & Madonna in Rio

It’s a return to our favourite combo, another mother daughter episode as Em’s eldest Marchella steps in for Michael Lucas. We begin with Chella disowning her own father’s last name and an explain on why she has a deeper voice than Em. Then Em reveals she gave in and watched the entire series of ‘Baby Reindeer’ and she is NOT OKAY! After being told in our previous episode by Michael and Chella to avoid it at all costs, Em decided they’re not the boss of her, dove right in and then promptly nearly drowned in all of the things. 
(TRIGGER WARNING - Discussion of sexual assault, stalking & abuse) Inside you’ll get a full breakdown on what to expect, why you should probably avoid it and also a bunch of spoilers, if you’d prefer to skip ahead, then you need to jump from 9.43 to 20.35 to escape any reveals. 
We follow that with the palate cleanser of Em and Chella’s latest obsession ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’, from playing ‘Okay, Stop!’ with the show’s trailer, to giving us a full exposé on why it's terrible, but also essential viewing. Em even gets Chella to reveal why she watches ‘Gilmore Girls’ on repeat and play a clip from a birthday cameo she got from Scott Patterson, aka Luke Danes, as well. 
Also in our Sealed Section, Em has become addicted to a particular Fleetwood Mac song and its accompanying live performance, plus Disney is releasing a Mufasa origin story and Em has a LOT to say about it. Sign up now to start listening & watching at emsolation.supercast.com.
