From mewing to bone smashing to ranking people on something called the “sexual market value scale”, the internet has invented a whole new language around male attractiveness.

In this episode Luce and Abby break down the world of looksmaxxing, the bizarre glossary that comes with it, and the rise of one of its m...

This week on the pod we dive into Wuthering Heights - both the 179-year-old novel and Emerald Fennell’s chaotic, glossy new adaptation that somehow got Abby and I lightly cancelled for… liking it. We start with the book. Abby found the opening chapters borderline unreadable, SparkNotes essential, and the characters hilariously bad at socialising. I, meanwhile, loved it. It felt like fantasy to me - dramatic, transportive, completely immersive. Then we split the film into two parts: “It’s not tha...
