Darling, Why?

It's the end of 2022 and Louis and Kate are gatecrashing your Christmas to bring you the art they loved for this year. Hopefully, you will let them in to your homes and not call the authorities to have them removed. They are nice people, after all!

To end our main 2022 slate, Kate has chosen a barnstomer of an album, 2014's totemic trans masterpiece, Transgender Dysphoria Blues by Against Me! Kate highlights her favourite moments, Louis holds himself back from an equally enthusiastic gush about this one (he would have picked it if she hadn't). An incredibly cathartic and powerful record, and one we implore you to listen to if you haven't before. BTW casual reminder that any anti trans nonsense isn't welcome here. Thanks!!!

For the first (and definately not the last) time, Louis goes into the mind of one of gamings most unique individual, Hideo Kojima, and tells us all about 2019's Death Stranding, a videogame about a very efficient postman doing efficient postman things....of course, its a hell of a lot more than that, as Louis details. Death Stranding is somewhat divisive, but Louis is a paid up member of the Death Stranding defence force, and he is on the lookout for new recruits. BTW, no plot spoilers are discussed here, and there is also a surprising connection to episode 50.

MONORAIL!!!!!!!! MONORAIL!!!!!!! MONORAIL!!!!!!!! Welcome to episode 50 of Darling, Why? In which Kate has chosen to talk about one of her very favourite episodes of the beloved animated sitcom The Simpsons. A fourth season classic, this episode is a magnificent showcase of the ideas of Conan O'Brian and the much missed voice talents of Phil Hartman.

In this episode, Louis brings one of both his, and his dad's, very favourite classic comedies, 1967's The Producers, starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. The film, about two people who decide to try and make more money with a musical flop than with a hit in a big grift, is the debut feature of American comedy legend Mel Brooks, of Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles and RObin Hood: Men In Tights fame. Louis basically simps over Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, and there's even a surprise appearance from Ned Flanders' dad as well as the House Unamerican Activities Committee.

This is one for the faithful, as Kate tells us all about her love for DreamWorks adaptation of the story of Moses, 1998's The Prince of Egypt. Expect plagues, parted seas and Jeff, uh, Goldblum. There's also lots of other fun things too, but the management of the show doesn't want to give it all away.

Don't RUSH through this episode of Darling, Why? as Louis details his unreal love for Rush and their underrated 1985 classic, Power Windows. Get ready for bass, hair, synths, even more hair, big suits and.... POWER!

Put out the good cutlery, as we feast on the delicious flesh that is the TV series Hannibal, starring Mads Mikkelsen. Kate serves up a well seasoned, well done slice of podcast pie, as she tells Louis all about her love of this delectably nasty confection.

Content warning: cannibalism.

The smash hit sitcom about 4 teenagers from Derry (and the wee English fella) is the subject of this episode of the little podcast that might. Louis tells us all about a show that is so dear to his heart it might have been difficult to keep it together for this episode. Louis and Kate talk about a show that is very dear to both of their hearts, but for some slightly different reasons.

Hello once again, Louis and Kate return to us like unwanted fast fashion items with an episode all about Sony's rather succesful video game series Uncharted. Kate has become a big fan of the series, and tells Louis, a long time fan, her opinions on the matter. Listeners will learn about the concept of a "wife guy" too. How exciiting.

The management is delighted to see you all!
