Ben and Mikey have had a monster of a week!

Queen Mother Monster stormed The O2 with The Mayhem Ball and the wickedly talented Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande cast a spell with the Wicked: For Good trailer. Meanwhile, a fresh batch of queens have sashayed into the werkroom for a new season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, ready to battle for the crown.

On top of that, Ben shares an honest review of Hadestown, there's a minor clash over Perrie’s self-titled debut album, plus a quick roundup of new music releases, including Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving. The duo also share their thoughts on Alien: Earth and The Morning Show.
