Em’s flying solo this week while Michael is in the US for more ‘Leviticus’ promo, and after a water leak destroyed our studio, we’ve moved the show to the leopard print couch in our foyer.

We begin with Denise Carter, who in 2024 sent a 32-page, laminated binder to her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend titled “Things He Will Eventually Do To You”.

It apparently took three months to compile and featured detailed relationship data, flowcharts, screenshots, and witness accounts and it’s gone viral again so naturally we need to discuss.

Then it’s onto the Socceroos and the FIFA World Cup, the Socceroos team truly reflects Australia as it is now, and Em reckons that the politicians and the media using immigrants to divide us, are about to witness Australia truly come together around the glorious multicultural players of the Socceroos team.

Finally there’s ‘Office Romance’ the new J’Lo film written and starring Brett Goldstein of ‘Ted Lasso’ fame for Em to review, from rogue boners to prosthetic birthing moments, this movie has a LOT to discuss about it.

Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em does an ‘Okay, Stop!’ on the woman who’s married a 300-year-old ghost pirate, plus she reviews the new ‘Masters of the Universe’ movie.

It’s finally here, Em and her bestie Michael sit down with Michael’s husband Adrian Chiarella and one of the stars of his debut feature film ‘Leviticus’, Joe Bird.

Obviously, the focus at the very beginning of this chat is finding out what Em thought of the film, famously Em isn’t a fan of horror movies, but she has watched ‘Leviticus’ and is finally ready to share her unfiltered thoughts and review.

There’s the soundtrack to discuss, the themes, the longing between the main characters, the atmosphere of the movie, how Joe’s work in ‘Talk To Me’ impacted his casting in the role, and Michael tries to do a scared face like Joe.

There’s also ‘Twilight’ chat, why Em and Joe Bird are pretty much the same person, Etsy witches, lost crystals and more. Adrian also reveals the behind-the-scenes stories on the location scouting for the movie, the casting, the colour palette and what he is like when he’s on set compared to when he's in prep mode for filming.

Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and Michael compare the core tv show, movie and album that helped define their childhood, with the ones from Joe’s childhood.

Em’s been busy manifesting a major life upgrade under the recent full moon by brewing moon water to drink and release all that negative energy, she gives a full explain on why and how within.

Em also breaks down her decision to join a virtual “cult” by signing up to a wellness centre driven by pneumonia, exhaustion and just a need for some long overdue self care. It’s a cult that comes complete with remedial massages, red light therapy, hyperbaric chambers and lymphatic drainage boots and so far it’s been working a treat.

Finally, Michael is keen to dive into how two low-budget, horror films, ‘Obsession’ and ‘Backrooms’, created by YouTubers, have easily crushed big Hollywood blockbusters like ‘Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu’ at the box office, creating an amazing shift in the film landscape.

Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and Michael tackle some diva dilemmas and do an ‘Okay, Stop!’ on Madonna spilling her juiciest secrets with her besties for the Grindr hookup app.
