Darryl McCormack and Brian Gleeson play brothers who are handling John-Paul's life insurance pay out.

Pedro Almodovar on working with Penelope Cruz again in Parallel Mothers.  Pablo Larrain talks turning Kristen Stewart into Lady Diana in his film Spencer, and Sharon Horgan on her fantastic black comedy Bad Sisters.

On this episode we drink Paperback Brewing's Everyday Zombies West Coast IPA.  It's a West Coast IPA with enough hop flavor to wake the dead.
For the second half we imbibed on Aborigen's Clandestino Tinto red blend wine from Baja California, Mexico.   The wine is a syrah adn grenache blend with notes of currants, medium jammy-ness, and dried herbs and pepper.  This was a very fruit forward wine and quite enjoyable.  

Today we finish up our conversation of Bad Sisters following the series finale.  Did you watch?  Did you enjoy it as much as we did?  Tell us your thoughts!  
And finally, we wax on about Halloween and its associated miscellanea like trick or treating, candy, scary movies, and costumes.  Hope you enjoy!

Bang On is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the land where we live, work, and learn.

Life is difficult in mid-90s Ireland for a young man and a young woman who are coming to terms with their sexuality. To alleviate the stress of taunting from their peers, the two decide to pretend-date each other. Ashley & Matt review this new movie, now available for streaming.

Alison Bell is the co-creator, co-writer, producer and star of the award-winning ABC and Netflix series 'The Letdown'. It explores the early years of motherhood in a way that’s honest and moving as well as very funny - there’s the mothers’ group, the sleep training, the non-existent sex life and much more. Like the best writing, there’s something universal, in which we can recognise our own experience. Alison and her co-writer Sarah Scheller won an AACTA Award for Best Television Screenplay, and for Best Comedy Program for both seasons one and two, and Alison herself won the AACTA award for best comedy performer for season two. Before 'The Letdown' Alison performed in various stage productions and television shows. You might have seen her in the series 'Laid', 'The Leftovers', 'No Activity' and Steven Spielberg’s 'Amazing Stories'. Alison has also worked as a script editor and screenwriter for production companies such as Revolver and Madman. And she’s got lots of exciting projects coming up which you’ll hear about here.

"Imposter syndrome? Absolutely. How you deal with that is by being graceful and empathic and supportive, and not protecting. Owning up when you don't know something? So majorly important. You don't have to know everything." Fiona McDermott 2020

This is a very special episode recorded live on stage at the APA future of advertising conference earlier this year - and features the fantastic Fiona McDermott. 

For those who don’t know, Fiona she is Channel 4’s head of comedy. After joining Channel 4 in 2011 as Commissioning Editor she has worked across some amazing award-winning shows such a Derry Girls, Catastrophe, The Windors and Home, just to name a few. And before that she was a Producer at Zeppotron, working on shows such 8 out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You and Screenwipe.

During our conversation, we speak about Fiona’s introduction to the world of TV  and the different roles she has had along the way. We also talk about what it was like working with some of the best comedians in the UK including Jimmy Carr, Franky Boyle, Charlie Brooker and Sean Pye. And of course, how she became the Head of Comedy and the day to day work that entails. 

She talks openly about often feeling like she has a lot to prove and how the all too familiar imposter syndrome often rears its ugly head. We also talk about the amount of responsibility she has to face on a daily basis, such as having to work out and evolve Channel 4’s comedy taste and the difficult job of knowing when to turn down new scripts and formats – with the all-important question – has she ever turned down a show that goes on to be a smash hit!

P.S. She also gives an insight into the best way to pitch your idea to Channel 4 but keep it to yourself... ;)

Oh hellooooo, buckle up because this ep is STACKED. The Taters cover: The Act (there's a great Gypsy Rose Blanchard impression in there), Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Shrill, and the Catastrophe finale! Also: excitement about ~~~SANTA CLARITA DIET~~~, Capri's forays into bartending, and some iconiqué listener emails.

New York’s hottest club is: Couch Taters episode 7. They have EVERYTHING. UK & US diplomatic relations (Catastrophe), Joe Goldberg eating take-out in his murderous book-dungeon (You), John Dixon’s benevolent ghost that just follows you around giving you inspirational one liners (A Million Little Things), Billy McFarland’s dignity (BOTH Fyre Festival documentaries), and the child actor special. What’s the child actor special? It’s this thing where Capri makes some questionably judgmental comments about child actors but really recovers. She doesn’t hate kids. We promise.
