Succession (2023)

 

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) get each other scorpions because .... ??? it's funny??? Roman works on r*tfucking Mattson while placing Con as ambassador to a non-nuclear power, and Kendall looks to take to the crown for himself as he publicly faces off with Lukas on the night before the election!

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) hop over to Norway for the GoJo retreat, wearing our compression socks all the way there! Lukas Mattson plants himself firmly in the Roy territory as he changes his bid for ATN, causing Kendall and Roman to take stock of what they actually want as Royco CEOs. Meanwhile, Shiv has her own angle on getting at Mattson, and Greg looms like a giant Habsburg in the background!

Succession (2023)

 

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) attends Logan's wake, which turns out to be a feudal battle over the Roy kingdom and fiefs! The familial heirs make a play by supporting the eldest son Kendall (err, sorry Con, would you like this castle in recompense?), while the vassals fight to ensure themselves a place of prominence under the new regime. All this just because Ken's name was on a piece of paper (it sure as sh*t wasn't Shiv!).

Succession (2023)

 

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) get pulled away from Con and Willa's wedding by a phone call from the f*cky-sucky brigade to let them know that Logan Roy is feeling ill! This momentous third episode allows us the opportunity to talk about television episodes and seasons in form and function, and how Armstrong and Mylod were able to bring the shocking turn of events to viewers with maximum intensity and voyeurism. No time for Chuckles the Clown this episode!

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) terrifyingly mosey through the latest Succession episode as Logan gets more involved both at the office and with his family. Con is hoping Willa hasn't sunk to the bottom of the river ahead of their bum-fight wedding, and Kerry makes an audition tape which earns her a talking to from the human string cheese himself, Cousin Greg.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

 

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) believe there is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for! We come to the final scenes of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers with a focus on editing - how did the film handle it's disparate storylines and cut them together? After that, it's all feelings and monologues, whether it's Sam telling us why we fight or Gollum getting his ex to do his dirty work for him! Finally we understand each other, Frodo Baggins!
