Em is off sick with a chest infection, so Michael is stepping into the hosting chair and he’s bought a very special guest along too in actor, writer and producer Maria Angelico.

You’d know Maria from ‘Hating Alison Ashley’, 'Sisters', Chris Lilley’s ‘We Can Be Heroes’,  ‘Apple Cider Vinegar’ and most famously for Emsolators as Cheryl the makeup artist on Michael’s TV series ‘The Newsreader’. She’s now starring in the new Aussie black comedy  ‘Birthright’, a darkly twisted tale about a disillusioned generation and their chase for the success of their baby boomer parents.

They cover off the movie, its cast and why Andrew Bolt is advertising the film for them, plus we revisit her career and get some utterly fascinating behind the scenes stories on auditioning and working on ‘We Can Be Heroes’, ‘The Newsreader’, ‘Birthright’ and more.

They also discuss Maria’s favourite scenes from ‘The Newsreader’, how she’s a Millennial with Gen Z rising, Lucy Durack’s trick for a perfect picture and so much more.

Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Michael delivers a diva devoted update on Lady Gaga and Madonna, plus Em calls in to review her newest obsession ‘Off Campus’.
