In this episode the part of Em Rusciano will be played by a hollow shell of a woman on the verge of collapse, mmmkay? Once we’ve acknowledged that and the end of Em’s Outgrown tour, we need to move on to the disturbing reaction to the murder of Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. His alleged killer, Luigi Mangione is being lusted over & celebrated with glowing comments & deep dives into his thirst trap pics, especially in the gay community. This all sits uneasily in Em’s ethics place so we’ll discuss the reaction and what it all means. After that it’s onto the Golden Globe noms, ‘The Bear’ is once again nominated for best comedy, Jon M Chu didn’t get a nomination as best director for ‘Wicked’ and there’s a bunch of other weird stuff to discuss too. Then after a quick visit to Beyonce’s mum Tina Knowles saying she was hacked after double tapping posts about those Jay-Z allegations, we need to step through Michael’s choice of the Top Ten Diva Moments of 2024.
