It's Friday evening, and you know what that means? More yapping for our dear listeners! This week, Samir and Petar discuss a bit of academia, talk about becoming a professor at our university, the unhinged Larry and Gaylor fandoms, and the increasingly desperate attempts of celebrities to court the gay male gaze.
Then, it’s a Eurovision deep dive: the sheer kantness of the 69th edition featuring songs titled Kant and Ich Komme (honestly? we're here for it), past winners returning for another shot at glory (and failing at it), and Sanremo being the gift that keeps on giving... giving us not what we want! We also unpack the mess that was Emilia Perez and the delicate (and often disastrous) balance between camp and sincerity in film, reminisce about Sex and the City 2 being both terrible and iconic, and revisit Madonna’s American Life rap verse—a moment that was tragically genius. And of course, no discussion about Madonna is complete without her failed attempt at performing in Eurovision in 2019, with vocals so off key the EBU had to intervene. Grab your soy lattes and buckle up for an episode of unhinged ranting!
