Two Ginger Gems

This week on Two Ginger Gems:  Jeff Probst accidentally blows the Survivor finale on live TV, and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs its final episode, cancelled for reasons that have nothing to do with ratings and everything to do with politics. Kate has three films she cannot wait to get to cinemas — Bitter Christmas, Diamond and Dernsey — plus a new Bear one-off called Gary that will have you emotional before the final season drops on June 25th. Guaranteed Maximum Pleasure on Apple TV is a fantastic show, Boys from the Blackstuff gets a classic TV deep dive, and Primary Trust at the Mark Taper Forum is the play that had the whole audience in bits, on until June 28th. Plus Pressure starring Andrew Scott premieres May 29th, lunch at Holloway House, Minnie's Moaning Minute takes on adverts, and Kate picks Ripeness again.  New mics are in, and the reason is...Brian.

This week on Two Ginger Gems, Kate and James are back after a week off...Mikki got sick and Kate went from Florence Nightingale to Nurse Ratchet in about three days, and the less said about Dr. Harold Shipman the better. James was in England seeing family, Celebrity Traitors announces its new cast and the verdict is mixed, and Florence Welch and Paris Paloma take the stage together in Berlin like two magnificent witches and Kate absolutely loses her mind about it. There's a new Martin Short documentary that'll break your heart, Swingers turns 30, a hidden gem 90s fashion exhibition at FIDM, Widows Bay is your new Apple TV obsession, and Minnie's Moaning Minute takes on Premium Economy — fair point or pointless? The card this week is Guilt. No spoilers.

This week on Two Ginger Gems, there's a mentalist at the White House, James makes a return to American Idol, and Kate discovers the immersive orchestra night out you didn't know you needed. There's Madonna, a stolen outfit, two sequels, a brand new segment called Minnie's Moaning Minute, and a Navy Secretary who thinks the witches are taking over the country. Just another Tuesday.

This week on Two Ginger Gems, Kate and James hit a milestone:  It's episode 10! Kate accidentally ends up on KTLA news, and James has lunch with a legendary English TV writer who helped bring Doctor Who back from the dead. Kate and Mikki see a pre-screening of an extraordinary film about John Davidson, the man with Tourette's who made headlines at the BAFTAs, and she hasn't stopped thinking about it since. James dips his toe into Netflix's creepy new series Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, and they mark 35 years since the Dallas finale with a lively debate about the greatest TV sign-offs ever. Kate discovers the hidden gem that is the Cinegrill at the Hollywood Roosevelt — classic movies, couches, and possibly Marilyn Monroe's ghost, where they catch a screening of Hitchcock's Vertigo. Add in Lena Dunham's brilliant new memoir Famesick, a shout out to Urth Caffé on Beverly Drive, a theatre renaissance moment courtesy of Timothée Chalamet, and a gem cut for Pope Leo, and this one has it all. Pull a card and breathe it in!

This week on Two Ginger Gems, the Artemis splashdown had Kate in tears (don't worry, happy ones!) as millions around the world united to watch one of the most breathtaking moments in space history. Then it's a big week in TV and film.  They dive into Scarpetta, Jury Duty: Company Retreat, and Kate delivers a passionate verdict on the Peaky Blinders movie (spoiler: it's not pretty). They also celebrate 100 years of Laurel & Hardy, share some LA history about filming locations you can still visit today, and reveal the surprising Hollywood connection that links Stan Laurel all the way to Tom Bergeron. Kate gets emotional over the stunning theatre production English at the Geffen Playhouse, they give a shout out to Mark Ballas opening in Chicago, and head to Yamashiro for sushi with one of the best views in LA. Plus, a waiter with a very unexpected claim to fame, Kate's new car Delilah gets a full universe of friends, and Coachella's opening night has a surprising Hollywood cameo.

James has lunch with Tom Bergeron and it goes viral.  Kate reveals she once auditioned for the Sopranos cast, and got in. Delilah the Figaro is getting her California makeover and now has her own Instagram. Louis Theroux goes Inside the Manosphere on Netflix and it's essential watching. Charlie's Angels turns 50, James recalls visiting John Forsythe at his Santa Barbara ranch, and the classic movie pick is Klute - Jane Fonda at her absolute best. Project Hail Mary gets a big thumbs up, Dragon Mama at the Geffen Theater is not to be missed, and Kate's mum Pamela calls in with her viewer's choice. The card this week? The Master.

Week 7 and Kate's dream finally arrives! Delilah the 1991 Nissan Figaro makes her debut after crossing the Panama Canal, and she is stunning. James shares his thoughts on the Oscars moving from the Dolby to the Peacock Theatre — and why that was always inevitable. Ab Fab gets the classic TV spotlight it deserves, JFK's Love Story wraps with a devastating final episode, and Marc by Sofia is this week's must-see documentary. James heads to Oklahoma as a Dallas expert on Collectors Call — with Charlene Tilton along for the ride — and nobody mention the parking bill. The card this week? Go back to the source.

Week 6 and it's a lot of everything! Kate and Mikki see Liza Minnelli and it does not go well. James interviews Barbara Eden for the Larry Hagman documentary and it absolutely does. The Bob Barker exposé on E! is worth a watch, but buckle up. Blue Moon gets a big thumbs up, Downton Abbey gets a COVID-era tribute, and 9 to 5 proves nothing has changed. Whitney Leavitt breaks box office records, Harris Reid dresses Zendaya, and the Adding Machine at the Actors' Gang is this week's theater pick. The card this week? Schizophrenia:  stop holding onto two walls and believe in the leap.
