god, it's brutal out here!

halfway through 2021 and we're campaigning for a celebrity to do something INTERESTING soon. fortunately lorde has released new music to keep us going (3:50) and baffleck and jlo are out here PDAing like it's 2002 (10:58), for which we are grateful. plus, dc forced us into a very NSFW 'batman, does he or doesn't he?' debate (19:04).

next, we take a mammoth deep dive into one of our favourite tv shows of the year so far, hbo's 'mare of easttown' (25:16), before revisiting the abbott family in a quiet place 2 (56:44). 

finally, we recommend up a few personal favourites in tv, film, music and books released this year that we haven't covered in the podcast already (01:20:15). and yes, one of us did recommend olivia rodrigo.
