Why do bands all end up hating one another? Why don't young men write books any longer? Is the American sitcom doomed?

Morrissey is attempting to sell all of his 'business interests' tied to The Smiths, because he is "tired of the disagreeable and vexatious characters" in the band. Richard and Marina dive into the world of legal disputes between band members.

'The Paper' is the new sitcom spin-off from 'The Office US', Marina has watched it and has thoughts on its representation of local newspapers.
Reccommendations:
Marina - Born With Teeth (Play)
Richard - The Dog's House (Channel 4)
