Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! it's the polyjamorous... nah, it's not... it's a music podcast.

On this week's show, Sam is here and we look at the slew of music biopics that have been released over the last couple of decades, and show no sign of stopping, and ask; why are they so bad?

From a shy Freddie Mercury with awful false teeth to a mockney Amy Winehouse getting blamed for her drug addiction, music biopics almost universally miss the entire purpose of what made their intended subject matter so special, and instead rely on cliches, formulaic structures, surface level performances and watered down versions of events.

Here, we look at the problems with the genre, what can be done to improve them, what we fear is coming next and a couple of our own pitches that Hollywood might just want to consider picking up.

There's also some new music recommendations and a lost banger from the past by Oxidde and Neutrino to chat about.

It's a bonus Trve. Cvlt. Pop! Steve is here to give you a run down of this weekends events in Cardiff and London as he witnessed the return of Brit-pop legends Oasis and thrash metal royalty Slayer

On this week's show two giants of the festival season face off, and so do two... not actually giants of the podcast world.

The lads Dave and Krister from the Pop, Collaborate and Listen podcast are back as we look at the last weekend and compare and contrast Download 2025 and the London iteration of Outbreak.

It's festival vs. festival; Green Day vs. Turnstile, queues for Knocked Loose vs. queues for President, sunshine and beer vs. sunshine and tequila cocktails. Who comes out on top?!
