This time around we’ve got much movie action to talk through. The Emsolation safe word has been used on the streets, Em attended a movie premiere, ruined her photo op on the red carpet, and bumped into Shaynna Blaze from ‘The Block’. She also has the opening of Melbourne Fashion Week to attend next week, all by her lonesome, so expect more awkward red carpet moments to follow. There’s also a trigger warning for anyone who might have experienced a miscarriage, or the loss of a child, as Em talks about the anniversary of losing her son Ray in her introduction. Once Michael arrives, we start by giving him some more props for the extra AACTA Award nominations his show ‘The Newsreader’ secured during the week. We also need to celebrate the fact that his glorious cameo as an 80’s DJ, with fully functioning mullet, that featured in the TV series, was photographed and has now made its debut within the pages of Australia’s best selling magazine for gay men, DNA. More about why he’s in there, what cum gutters are, and why he isn’t wearing see through wet white mesh, like the hefty hung escort that features on the cover, within the podcast. Once we’ve waded through all that testosterone, we’ll get across the news that they’ve started announcing the casting for a movie version of the Broadway musical ‘Wicked’. It’s the one and only musical Em has ever seen on actual Broadway, so she is all up in its grill (expect lots of Em singing hooks from almost all of the soundtrack within this section). Anyway, while Em is totally down for the first two announcements of Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, and Ariana Grande as Glinda the Good Witch, the suggestion that the arch nemesis for lovers of musical movies, James Corden, will be cast in it, has thrown Em into a spiral of DO. NOT. WANTS. Not surprisingly it has also caused an uproar from over 73,000 peeps, who also love a movie musical, but can’t stand it when James Corden forces himself into it, to click through and type their names with gusto, into the change.org petition that demands he have nothing to do with it. After we’ve poured more petrol onto that raging bin fire, we’ll give Adam Driver a teensy serve as well. Truth be told, Em is a huge stan for Adam, she’s loved him from his days on ‘Girls’, adored him in the Star Wars reboot, and even got hot around the collar when he turned into a rugged half horse, half bare chested mansicle for a Burberry fragrance campaign. However, she is not about to excuse him for not putting enough farshun realness into his red carpet choices for the world premiere in London of his new film ‘The House of Gucci’. Especially when his co-stars, Jared Leto, Salma Hayek and the one and only Lady Gaga, all served the kind of red carpet drama we live for, Adam however turned up in a two piece suit from Burberry that was meh to the extreme. There’s also the premier of the new Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ for Em to reflect on before we to talk about the sex infused fanfiction that someone DM’d the Emsolation podcast about featuring Dan Andrews and Brett Sutton. Both Em and Michael will read some saucy passages, there’s even some ‘The Newsreader’ fanfiction as well. Finally we need an update on where Michael is when it comes to his red carpet look for the AACTA Awards in December, plus there’s also a special announcement we’ve been holding off on delivering. So make sure you listen to the very end, as if you wouldn’t anyway, so you get all the facts, HUZZAH! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
