What is a healthy relationship? Is it Reylo? Is the fantabulous volleyball game that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson played with this latest trilogy? In this episode we explore what relationships mean, what family means, and how the writers and directors of the latest trilogy failed (and succeeded) in portraying both.

Hello boys and girls and everyone in between, today we're going to talk about men in heels, not to be confused with men in tights although both are valid. On this week's podcast we spend some time in Marwencol, with Captain Hogie and his squad. Carlos and Alx delve into topics around prejudices, the power of imagination, how the friendzone may or may not be a preconceived male plot for world domination, and the ever important and valid lesson: "mind your business".

Harry Potter is a 7 book/ 8 Movie + 2 Franchise and we have tackled it this week. Carlos educates us on the Lavender Brown actress switcheroo; we take a trip into J.K. Rowling's mind of mystery and whether representation can be done incorrectly; to wind down we of course delve into the latest controversy with Johnny Depp and the Times Up movement. All opinions are our own and we welcome different ones but we had to bump this to an more sensitive rating for the youngsters. Enjoy.
