We could not record over the festive period, so it’s a week late, but better late than never (we hope). Here is our review of the year 2022 (on a planet that’s estimated to be over 4.5 billion years old). This is our season finale, and the last episode for a while, so buckle up.

We cover subjects we’ve been avoiding at all costs because we were either tired of hearing about them or because we were living it and couldn’t deal (cost of living crisis, we’re looking at you). Also, some important issues on the world stage, that we have not been able to cover thus far.

Domestically, it’s been a messy year in the UK with 3 PMs in 3 months, the country's infrastructure falling to pieces, rising interest rates, extreme heat, and poverty wages. Fun! And of course, the monarchy… There have been a lot of high-profile men doing the most the world over, so much so, we had to condense them into a list.

Finally, as always, we talk about ourselves, because at its core, that’s what this self-indulgent podcast is about. Enjoy!

This week we watched 2022’s biggest made-for-TV Christmas romcoms so you don’t have to! We review Netflix’s ‘Falling for Christmas,’ starring Lindsey Lohan. Then the very British, ‘You’re Christmas or Mine’ from Amazon Prime. And finally, Sky’s offering, ‘This is Christmas.’ Such diversity in names, tropes, and themes… LOL. As always, take the word ‘review’ with a pinch of salt. We cannot stress enough that these are not recommendations. Enjoy!
