Izzy and Grace talk about inherited wealth off the back of Emerald Fennell's BAFTAs sweep, do a deep-dive on Chris Kraus' 1997 classic 'I Love Dick', and unpack the Hollywood Reporter's bombshell exposè on Hollywood mega-producer Scott Rudin (think the Harvey Weinstein of emotional abuse). Then it's onto Chet Hanks' 'White Boy Summer'—AKA why Tom Hanks' white rapper son is literally the only thing we can think about. Finally, we chat about The Cut's episode on pandemic-fuelled burnout—including Esther Perel's insights on how the last 12 months of lockdown has seen us attach more meaning than ever to our work.

Izzy and Grace talk about post-pandemic socialising, including a cautionary tale about how bottomless champagne brunches can lead to you finding yourself blasting Lauryn Hill through your IPhone in an unknown suburb at 4PM. Izzy watched Vanilla Sky, Grace has a stale podcast recommendation, and we talk about HBO's new QAnon documentary. Then, it's a deep dive on The New York Times' new story about beauty culture, an Atlantic's piece on the post-lockdown Botox spike, and how all this relates to Khloe Kardashian.

It's the perfect mix this week: Orlando Bloom’s chaotic daily routine, how robots taking over the world will be both bad (Scarlett Johansson sex robots) and good (women no longer having to give birth), Em Rata forgetting she wasn’t going to gender her baby, and how the model minority myth has contributed to Asians being left out of conversations about racism and white supremacy.

This week Izzy reviews Judas and the Black Messiah, and Grace recommends an episode of This American Life that takes us on a deep-dive about ‘everyone’s a critic-culture’. Then we talk about the emotional fall-out of the Sarah Everard case, as well as the protests in Australia, and why it’s okay to bow out of engaging with the news right now. Plus, best-dressed from the Grammys, Elliot Page’s fab TIME cover story, and how the Bachelor USA finale facilitated surprisingly nuanced conversations about race. Listen now.

Two lots of us in one week—how did you get so lucky? This week we're back on the royals checking in on the fall-out of the Meghan and Harry Oprah interview, including 'We're not a racist family'-gate, and the Queen's lukewarm statement. We're also gleefully celebrating the demise of Piers Morgan, bye bitch. Plus, the Teen Vogue racism scandal, Adam Driver and Lady Gaga's Instagram-breaking new movie, Chloe Sevigny's anti-wedding, and what Andrew Morton's Wallis Simpson biography tells us about Meghan Markle.
