Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten! From the Battery to the top of Manhattan! It's the perspicacious Firecrotch & Normcore reporting for duty, and we are back at the beginning of all things with THE CREATOR, Jesse Armstrong.

It's a magnificent effort. Magnificent.

Exciting times, it's all ahead of us this week: Sara's tonsillectomy and our new episode-by-episode Succession rewatch with Jesse D Armstrong.

In the light of the above, this is the first of our revamped/devamped episodes: One luxury-lengthed watch, and your correspondence. No rush, we're on island time.

See you on Friday WITH JESSE!

Hey nerds! We go fast and hard this week with the brilliant and hilarious Phil Wang to discuss his new Netflix special, Wang in There, Baby!

Plus: More Everest obsession from you know who, more Scandi drama from you know who, and someone (we're not naming names) embarrasses herself in the environs of a West End musical.
